Supply chain workers often use bulky barcode scanners that can sometimes be awkward to operate. By replacing traditional pistol-grip scanners with ProGlove’s wearable barcode scanners, your operators are able to work hands-free and improve speed and productivity.
ProGlove wearable scanners are the size of a matchbox and are worn with a special glove or wrap cuff. Workers no longer have to pick up and put down a handheld scanner every time they scan an item, box, or a pallet. With ProGlove wearable scanners, workers hands are free to continue to move materials without stopping as scanning is triggered by a simple hand gesture or movement. ProGlove scanners are 10 times lighter than traditional scanners so tasks are performed comfortably and quickly, leading to better ergonomics and worker satisfaction.
Devices built for temperature -controlled environments can’t maintain their optimal functionality when placed in freezing environments—even for just a short period of time. Refrigeration units and freezers wreak havoc on every component of these devices from casing to internal circuitry.
These environments require specialized equipment and technology to help ensure products are safe during every step of the process.
Having the right cold supply chain solution for your logistics needs is essential; Peak Technologies can help your enterprise:
Move more products safely and efficiently through the supply chain allowing your operation to maximize fulfillment.
Work more efficiently despite gloved hands with ergonomically designed devices and wireless networking that can perform despite cold temperature ranges.
Cold chain devices remove barriers to accuracy such as sticky keys, foggy screens and labels that won’t scan or stick.
Eliminate the challenges common to standard devices such as condensation, device failure, and dropped, slow or misaligned wireless signals.
Manufacturers have developed devices that have the same reliability and functionality in cold environments as their standard model counterparts. When selecting the optimal devices for your application, it’s important to consider the amount of exposure to extreme cold conditions, and the frequency of exposure.
Unless mobile computers, barcode readers and wireless networking equipment have been designed with features required specifically for use in cold environments, the level of their reliability will fall right along with the temperatures.
Cold air, frost and condensation create a specific challenge for rugged mobile computing equipment. The insulation used to keep refrigerated and frozen storage areas cold also poses problems when it comes to wireless connectivity and battery life. Today’s cold storage mobile computers are built not only to withstand prolonged use in the cold, with robust battery life, but more importantly, are designed for transitioning between cold and warm locations.
Low temperatures don’t have to mean reduced reliability and productivity. Peak can offer mobile computing solutions for cold-temperature environments such as cold storage, cold storage environments, freezers, ski resorts and other outdoor recreation, and harsh temperature/year-round field service.

For labeling applications in cold environments, it’s critical to not only have the right printing equipment, but the right labeling materials. Printers should be equipped with cold temperature compensation to automatically optimize and balance print speed and quality. Specialized labeling supplies must be able to stick to surfaces of -20° F / -20°C, while also staying at temperatures as low as -65°F / -54°C.

The most modern mobile devices adapted for freezing environments could have difficulty performing optimally if the wireless networking has been deployed without cold temperatures in mind. Insulation keeps cold air from escaping but it also restricts the movement of radio waves. Access points in freezing environments require specialized heated enclosures as well as antennas specifically designed to prevent RF signals from bouncing off obstacles—a common challenge in cold temperatures.
