Whole Quality Tracking 


In today's fast-paced manufacturing world, efficiency is crucial; however, the manufacturing sector faces a significant challenge with a high turnover rate, which can reach as high as 39%. This turnover rate reflects the frequent departure of employees from their manufacturing positions, posing considerable challenges for businesses in terms of recruitment, training, and maintaining a stable workforce. This issue is particularly pressing given that by 2030, the manufacturing industry could face a shortfall of 2.3 million jobs, potentially costing the industry $1 trillion in that year alone. The primary factors contributing to this turnover are often working conditions and stress, underscoring the importance for manufacturing companies to address these issues to enhance workforce stability and overall operational efficiency.


But, this is where new technology steps in. The HYCO Ring Scanner is poised to bring a revolution to manufacturing. Using ultra light-weight design and low power consumption technology to reduce the stress and the physical demanding job of assembling line workers, while achieving an impressive 100% ROI in just 1 month.

The Solution：

1. Time Savings: Streamlining Workflow 

The wearable scanning technology represents a significant innovation, eliminating the need to lift items for scanning or grapple with cumbersome handheld scanners. It results in substantial time savings of 5 seconds per task in fixed assembly lines and cuts walking distances in half for mobile workstations. Furthermore, it offers an impressive 18-hour battery life, owing to its efficient low-power technology. This eliminates the need for frequent recharging, ensuring uninterrupted workflow and elevating productivity by as much as 48%.

2. Error Reduction: Enhancing Quality 

Equipped with hands-free wireless functionality, the HYCO Ring Scanner empowers assembly line workers to perform their tasks seamlessly. This reduction in manual scanner handling leads to fewer errors, thereby minimizing the need for rework and ultimately improving product quality. The HYCO Ring Scanner plays a pivotal role in enhancing throughput, significantly contributing to error reduction and the overall enhancement of product quality.

3. Getting Entry-level Employees in the Door 

The HYCO ergonomic Ring Scanner plays a pivotal role in transforming the way entry-level employees perceive manufacturing work and simplifying their entry into the workforce. Weighing just 20g and measuring a mere 1 cubic inch, this innovative device enhances the initial experience for new hires. Its lightweight and compact design make work significantly more comfortable and manageable, helping entry-level employees quickly adapt to their roles. This leads to higher retention rates as employees find their work environment more user-friendly and less physically demanding, resulting in reduced turnover and recruitment costs for businesses. Moreover, the HYCO Ring Scanner's user-friendly design significantly reduces the training time required for entry-level employees. Training periods are shortened by up to 20%, allowing new hires to become productive members of the team more swiftly. This accelerated learning curve not only benefits individual employees but also translates into substantial cost savings in the hiring process, as businesses can deploy their workforce more efficiently. 

4. A Wise Investment

Choosing the right technology is pivotal. As Klebe says, "You don't want to be boxed in by your technology." The HYCO Ring Scanner goes beyond being a mere barcode scanner; it's a manufacturing game-changer. Investing in the HYCO Ring Scanner represents a strategic move toward achieving a more efficient and productive assembly line. 


Enjoy effortless scanning in confined spaces, work hands-free, and create a more efficient, productive, and cost-effective working environment.
