ProGlove MARK 3 | Wearable Productivity Powerhouse

Written by Iris Huang | Mar 14, 2023

Your warehousing ecosystem needs to thrive in order to handle the demands and challenges of the present. From distribution centers to assembly lines, your team members need to be efficient, accurate and connected to ensure operational excellence. In this endless pursuit for productivity improvement, we are turning to the ProGlove MARK 3, a multi-range barcode scanner.

Wearable Scanning at Its Best

When your workers are constantly on the go in a fast-paced and strenuous environment, like most warehouses, we typically conjure devices that match the scene in our heads—heavy duty mobile computers or rugged tablets. However, wearable scanners have improved tremendously in recent years and the MARK 3’s small package shouldn’t be overlooked when it comes to the benefits it brings.

The MARK 3 is tough enough to handle quite a bit of wear-and-tear,is resistant against water and dust and can carry out its duties even with low temperature swings (at the time of this review, we’re experiencing false spring!). When exposed to harsh environments, your workers can find some relief in its small package without sacrificing efficiency. With the ability to scan from a distance of 10 CM up to 600 CM and the integrated autofocus, the MARK 3 can be aimed easily and with precision whether picking and packing or scanning from a moving vehicle.

The Hardest Worker on the Team

In our industry, seconds of downtime can lead to a huge hit to our bottom line. When your workers are in “the zone”, the last thing they need to see is their scanner flashing low battery. What we enjoy the most with the ProGlove MARK 3 is perhaps the ability to have up to 3000 scans after just 20 minutes of charge time or an impressive 12,000 scans on full battery. A heavy-duty battery is especially appreciated during crunch time. And with just 5 seconds per scan, it can provide you with the user experience we need to ensure the customer experience we pursue.

One Size Fits All?

Your system is unique, so the MARK 3 will adapt. Connecting it to your ERP or WMS and cloud is seamless and doesn’t require coding. Whether you are a SAP, Oracle or telnet-based system user, you can host ProGlove data on your cloud or stream it directly into your BI-Tools. For the Android adapters, they offer Android integration solutions to ensure implementation is fast and easy. Use Insight Mobile for Android either with the Intent or SDK integration and integrate essential functions like Scan2Pair right inside your application.
