ProGlove and topsystem Partner to Deliver Ultimate Hands-Free Picking Solution
Product bundle combines trailblazing Pick-by-Voice solution with best of breed wearable scanners
CHICAGO/ MUNICH/ AACHEN – March 26, 2024 – ProGlove is joining forces with topsystem, a division of Ehrhardt Partner Group (EPG), to address the industry’s highlighted need for mobile logistics solutions. The two organizations will offer a joint bundle that combines topsystem’s LYDIA Voice Pick-by-Voice solution with ProGlove’s MARK family of wearable barcode scanners. This will further untether the frontline worker, enabling additional mobility while providing additional guidance. Operators will benefit from the ultimate hands-free experience to improve safety, quality and efficiency.
Easy pairing for extended data capturing
To connect topsystem’s LYDIA Voice solution with ProGlove’s wearable scanning products, operators simply scan a pairing QR barcode. The combined solution then enables faster job completion and improved data quality in processes where advanced data capture is required. This is the case, for example, if serial or batch numbers need to be captured. Initial tests suggest that processes can be accelerated by up to 15 percent in environments that require the input of extended numeric sequences. The new bundle will be a perfect match for jobs such as picking, replenishment, sorting, inventory counting, cross-docking and more.
“We are very excited to have ProGlove as a strategic partner and to be able to sell this bundle to our customers. Pick-by-Voice is based on a hands-free concept, but whenever an industry or process require extended data capture, it makes sense to combine Pick-by-Voice with scanning technology. Due to its ergonomic design and high performance, the Pro-Glove scanners harmonize perfectly with LYDIA Voice, as employees still have their hands free,” said Sascha Egener, Director Sales Voice Solutions at topsystem.
“Combining LYDIA Voice with our wearable scanners is a huge step forward for shop floor workers,” said Pierre Mikaelsson, CPO at ProGlove. “It gives them the ultimate hands-free working experience while providing guidance to promote their well-being, efficiency and effortless data collection.”
