ProGlove, a global developer of wearable scanner offerings to increase human-centered productivity, recently launched a new, on-demand rental program for its MARK wearable scanner.
This program offers short-term rentals of ProGlove's MARK range of smart scanners. The goal is to give logistics and warehouse operators the flexibility to scale operations to meet demand during peak periods without the long-term financial commitment that comes with traditional expansion methods.
MARK looks to increase human scanning in busy warehouses
Warehouses are facing mounting pressure to adapt to fluctuating demands and supply chain disruptions, especially with the holiday season. Companies often cannot predict demand surges far enough in advance to commit to large-scale seasonal hiring, making it crucial to implement technological safeguards that support existing staff, reduce workload strain and minimize the risk of sickness, injury or turnover.
The combination of earlier shopping habits and changing consumer expectations has created another challenging environment for logistics operations. Operators are increasingly relying on a seasonal workforce to maintain efficiency amid surging workloads, but integrating these temporary workers effectively can be equally complex especially when operating at peak capacity. High stock levels, repetitive movements and higher worker concentration all contribute to the risk of workplace hazards.
“The holiday season is no longer confined to December,” said Suzana Tasic, senior product manager at ProGlove. “With Christmas merchandise appearing as early as September, retailers and their suppliers are facing an extended period of peak demand. As a result, warehouse operators face growing pressure to meet expedited deadlines. To navigate this challenge successfully, businesses must prioritize accuracy, agility and efficiency in their operations.”
ProGlove’s short-term device rental program addresses this growing challenge by making its wearable devices available on demand. This flexibility allows businesses to dynamically adjust their hardware needs, scaling up or down as required during peak times without the commitment of a long-term contract.
As part of the offering, customers can also access ProGlove’s software offering, which captures and analyzes operational data in real time. With that, managers can access insights to optimize workflows, identify bottlenecks and proactively address potential ergonomic risks through worker activity patterns.
“We understand the delicate balance between managing hardware costs while ensuring optimal warehouse performance,” Tasic added. “Our short-term rental solution is here to offer a flexible and cost-effective way for warehouse operators and retailers to address the unique demands of the season. By renting our MARK line of scanners, businesses can quickly and easily supercharge their operations without the long-term commitment of purchasing new equipment.”
