Away with the glove, full focus on the Index Trigger Cuff. With this decision, Proglove is responding to customer feedback and changing its strategy. With the help of the Index Trigger Cuff, any work glove can become a wearable – regardless of the customer's preferences. Additionally, users can also wear it without gloves. This makes it the suitable choice for almost any work environment, the Munich startup is confident.
“Rethinking Barcode Scanning means that we constantly question everything – including the status quo of our own glove scanners,”
commented Andreas König, CEO of Proglove, this step of his company.
Every glove can become a Proglove
He continues:
"It became clear that our Index Trigger was the most powerful 'horse in the stable.' So we took a step back and reassessed the situation. The cuff offers all the benefits of the standard glove. However, it offers additional options, such as full finger freedom, which is essential in certain work environments. Furthermore, we heard from many of our customers that their workers were wearing the Index Trigger over conventional work gloves. So, it made sense to address this growing demand and make the switch. All the more so because it allows us to turn any glove into a Proglove—regardless of preferred glove materials, environmental conditions, and size requirements. We also expect that our focus on the cuff will also simplify the procurement process for our customers. With the Index Trigger, any company can now 'Proglove' with the work gloves of their choice."
Micro-efficiencies through more effective scanning
Proglove's glove scanner technology stems from a key observation: barcode scanning is essential in many industrial sectors. At the same time, workers on site often wear gloves. By combining both—glove and scanner—companies can achieve significant micro-efficiencies.
The ProGlove Index Trigger is available in industry-standard sizes for left- and right-handed users. The company will also continue to offer the Proglove Reel, a wearable device for low-frequency scanning environments. Featuring Proglove's pull-to-scan technology, the Reel can be worn as a neckband or clip.
