Light Tags + Ring Scanners: The Ultimate Error Proof Combo for Modern Workflows

Gent Ivziku • August 6, 2025

In today’s fast paced supply chain and manufacturing environments, accuracy isn't just a goal, it’s a necessity. Every mispick, delay, or workflow interruption costs time, money, and customer trust. That’s where Lotwork’s powerful combination of Light Tags and wearable ring scanners comes in.

Together, they form the ultimate error proofing solution for high-volume, hands-on operations.


What Are Light Tags?

Lotwork’s Light Tags are wireless, compact LED indicators that guide workers with a clear visual signal. When paired with your warehouse or manufacturing system, these tags light up the exact bin, part, or location the worker needs to go to, removing guesswork and streamlining the picking or assembly process.

Ring Scanners: Efficiency at Your Fingertips

Our wearable ring scanners are lightweight, fast, and ergonomically designed to keep both hands free while working. Workers can scan items in real time without having to fumble for a handheld device or pause to confirm actions. This eliminates unnecessary movements and significantly speeds up cycle times.

Why the Combo Works

On their own, Light Tags and ring scanners deliver serious value. But together? That’s where the real magic happens.

When a worker scans an item, the corresponding Light Tag activates instantly, confirming they’ve picked the right part or alerting them if something’s off. This closed loop feedback system makes it almost impossible to pick the wrong item without being notified immediately.
