FEIG ELECTRONICS, a leading global supplier of RFID and barcode readers and antennas, introduces its new HyWEAR compact, the new hybrid Barcode & RFID Wearable, which makes logistical processes more efficient and frees both hands of the employee to perform work.

RFID & Barcode Hybrid Wearable Device

The HyWEAR compact is the first wearable device of its kind, supporting both barcode and RFID; the only dual technology, wearable in its class. While there are wearable barcode readers and wearable RFID readers available, there is currently no hybrid wearable device that combines both optical and radio data collection technologies into a single, wearable product that fits onto the back of the hand.

“In testing, the HyWEAR compact has shown a three second per bag improvement in loading and unloading planes”, said Manuel Haertlé, Senior Product Manager for FEIG ELECTRONICS. “Consider the Phoenix airport, the RFID LIVE!show’s host city has 1200 arrivals and departures each day. Three seconds per bag means a potential savings of over 40,000 man-hours in a year. Atlanta, the largest airport in the U.S., has over 880,000 flights annually which could potentially save nearly 90,000 man-hours in the time it takes to load and unload baggage. These savings translate to greater airport operational efficiency as plane turnaround amounts to accommodating an additional arrival or departure flight using the same terminal and equipment infrastructure.”

The mobile device is a hybrid barcode and RFID wearable that makes the manual materials handling processes including data collection, more efficient. This small, yet powerful, electronic reads 1D an 2D barcodes, RAIN RFID transponders, or both barcode and RFID. It is attached to a comfortable fingerless glove leaving the user’s fingers and arms free to move.
