Product Overview
The Honeywell 8680i Advanced model Wearable Barcode Scanner drives streamlined workflows onto a single device for many applications, effectively replacing a scanner and mobile computer. The customizable user-facing display communicates workflow instructions, while the two-button interface enables users to navigate menus and confirm selections. The 8680i connects directly to the network application through WiFi and the SDK. Converging common applications such as picking, packing, and sorting onto a single device offers improved ergonomics and reduced acquisition cost when replacing current wearable scanner plus mobile computer solutions.
Available in a Standard model for simple Bluetooth-paired data collection or an Advanced model for standalone operation in directed workflows, the 8680i Wearable Barcode Scanner can add efficiency and effectiveness to the most common tasks. The Standard version offers lightweight, ergonomic Bluetooth-wearable scanning with clear communication of wireless connection, battery status, and scan results.
The Advanced model enables streamlined workflows within a single device with Wi-Fi, a customizable user-facing display, and a two-button interface. The Advanced model presents key information to the worker on the display to enable task-specific responses with functions such as confirm action completion, or mark an exception.
There are many configuration options that help tailor the 8680i device to the working environment. It is available (and field-reconfigurable) with a two-finger ring strap and a back-of-hand glove mount option. This device can use slim or extended batteries to suit the duty cycle, shift length, and size/weight priorities. With performance to drive effective workflows and durability to survive tough operating environments, the 8680i Advanced Wearable Barcode Scanner can add efficiency and effectiveness to the most common tasks.
