Munich Germany industrial wearables company making ergonomic barcode scanner gloves for manufacturing, logistics, and warehouse operations;
About
ProGlove is a Munich, Germany-based industrial wearables company that develops ergonomic barcode scanner gloves and wearable worker assistance devices designed for use in manufacturing, warehouse, and logistics environments where the traditional handheld barcode scanner model creates ergonomic strain, slows throughput, and requires workers to repeatedly pick up and set down a device as they alternate between scanning and handling tasks. The company's MARK series of glove-mounted scanner devices attach to the back of the hand with the scanner module oriented so that a finger-point gesture triggers a scan — allowing workers to scan barcodes while keeping both hands free for material handling, assembly operations, or vehicle operation, eliminating the grab-scan-set-down motion cycle that traditional scanners impose on high-volume scanning tasks.
