Question 1

How long does a ring scanner take to learn?

Accepted Answer

Most pickers are at full speed within a single shift. Studies show 15-30% productivity gains over pistol-grip scanners on long picks.

Question 2

Will it pair with our existing WMS?

Accepted Answer

Yes — HID mode works with any browser-based or native WMS that accepts keyboard input, and SDKs are available for deeper integration.

Question 3

What happens to the battery overnight?

Accepted Answer

Batteries either charge in the ring directly via cradle, or are swapped out and charged in a multi-bay battery dock.

Question 4

Can the scanner survive being dropped?

Accepted Answer

Rated for repeated 1.5 m drops to concrete and shocks from being knocked against shelving — standard wear and tear for picking environments.

Question 5

How does it integrate with our existing rugged Android handheld?

Accepted Answer

Ring scanners pair to the same Android device pickers already wear or carry. The scanner exposes a wedge-style HID keystroke into the picking app, so no SDK changes are required on day one — and SDK-level integration is available later if you want event-level control.

Question 6

What's the warranty and lead time?

Accepted Answer

Standard 24-month manufacturer warranty on the ring assembly and battery, with optional 36-month extended cover for fleet rollouts. UK stock typically ships next day; large rollouts staged over 4-6 weeks with pre-paired and asset-tagged kits.
