  • [Lidköping, Sweden, August 26, 2021] Handheld Group, a leading manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, today introduced the RS60 Ring Scanner, a comfortable hands-free scanning solution for use in warehouses, retail, distribution and other situations requiring highly mobile scanning. This device is the second in the newly introduced wearable line from Handheld following the SP500X ScanPrinter which was released earlier this month.

    “The new RS60 ring scanner is all about efficiency and mobility. It can be worn on either the right or left hand so workers can maximize productivity while keeping their hands free,” says Johan Hed, Handheld director of product management. “Rather than holding a scanning device, a ring scanner is wearable and lets warehouse workers simply point and click, leaving them free to also move products and packages.”

    RS60 ring scanner key features:
    • The efficiency of a traditional scanner and the convenience of a hands-free wearable solution
    • Super-fast 2D-imager accurately captures barcodes on the move
    • Tap to pair with any NFC enabled device or scan a barcode to connect
    • BT class 1 let workers stay connected to devices up to 100 m (300 feet) away
    • IP65 dust and water resistance, operating from 0°C to 50°C and can survive multiple drops to concrete
    • Up to 11 hours runtime
    • Enterprise-focused accessories, including a four-slot charging station and an eight-slot battery charger

    “Enterprises have increasingly seen the value of equipping their workers with tools to maximize efficiency and mobility. Our new wearable line is designed to fit those needs,” says Thomas Löfblad, CEO, Handheld Group. “Handheld has always been about mobile computing, and we’ll be expanding our wearable product line further in the future.”

  • [Lidköping, Sweden, August 18, 2021] Handheld Group, a leading manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, today introduced the SP500X ScanPrinter, a wearable device that brings revolutionary technology and efficiency to logistics operations. With this device, Handheld is also launching a new segment to its lineup of rugged computers: rugged wearables. 

    The SP500X ScanPrinter is a unique, wearable scan-and-print solution that integrates 2D imaging, inkjet printing and wireless communication in one device. It’s designed to create a revolution in high-volume logistic operations that use manual scanning and labeling to sort packages. With Wi-Fi and BT, as well as an integrated printer developed in partnership with HP, the SP500X is truly mobile. You can quickly scan and print directly on packages anywhere in your facility, all while keeping both hands free.

    “It helps to see the process, to understand just how ground-breaking the SP500X ScanPrinter is,” says Jerker Hellstrom, Handheld founder and Chairman of the Board. “There’s no other device like it in the world. You put on the device, grab a package and scan it. The scanner sends the data to your back-end system, which sends back information for printing. And nearly immediately, you print an address, a code or other information directly on the package. Your hands are free. You can move anywhere you need to work. You’re not anchored to a printer.”

    New segment: Handheld rugged wearables
    With the SP500X, Handheld is adding a new segment of rugged wearables to its portfolio of rugged mobile computers. More wearable devices will be added soon.

    SP500X ScanPrinter key user benefits

    • Improved scanning and sorting accuracy
    • Flexibility and agility, frees workers to execute scanning tasks on the go
    • Productivity and safety, gives workers uninterrupted freedom to use both hands
