Why Sustainability Is the New KPI in Logistics
In todays logistics landscape, efficiency alone is no longer enough. Warehouses and fulfillment centers are now critically measured by their environmental, social, and governance impact. Sustainability has emerged as a key performance indicator, driving smarter, greener operations while directly aligning with corporate responsibility goals.
At Lotwork, we help logistics teams achieve both operational excellence and eco friendly warehouse practices through advanced IoT tools designed to reduce waste, extend device lifespan, and minimize environmental impact.

The Business Case for Sustainable Logistics

Leading warehouses understand that sustainability is not just a moral imperative, it is a competitive advantage. Companies that prioritize green practices through innovative technology see lower operational costs from energy savings, improved workforce productivity with ergonomic devices, enhanced ESG reporting with measurable metrics, and a stronger corporate reputation as sustainability influences partners and customers.



Sustainability drives both business performance and operational resilience. It reduces waste, maximizes efficiency, and positions warehouses as leaders in a competitive landscape where environmental accountability matters.

Linking Operational Efficiency with ESG Goals

Sustainability and productivity go hand in hand. When warehouses adopt energy efficient devices such as Lotwork wearable scanners, wireless light tags, and wearable computers, they reduce waste and energy consumption while streamlining workflows.


  • Longer Device Lifespan: Lotwork technology uses only five percent of the power required by traditional scanning engines, dramatically extending operational hours and device longevity.
  • Fewer Consumables: Battery cycles last up to 30 months, cutting plastic waste and reducing environmental impact.
  • Energy Efficiency: Heat free operation eliminates wasted energy, creating cooler work environments and lower carbon emissions.


Reduced Material Waste: Touch sensitive triggers replace conventional buttons, increasing device lifespan more than tenfold while eliminating mechanical failure points.

Lotwork Solutions Driving Sustainable Warehousing

Ring Scanner: At 20 grams and one cubic inch in size, the Ring Scanner is ultra lightweight and delivers 95 percent power reduction compared to traditional scanners. It enables up to 18 hours of continuous operation, scans 90 percent faster, and reduces errors by 35 percent through hands free operation. Touch sensitive triggers extend lifespan, and its rugged design ensures reliability in demanding environments.


W563 Wearable Computer: This wrist mounted device combines GPS tracking, motion detection, and an HD camera in one hub. With shortcut keys, voice commands, and real time WMS integration, it allows workers to scan, photograph, track location, and access critical information while keeping hands free.


Wireless Light Tags: The L102, L112, and L218 models transform pick to light operations with battery cycles lasting up to 30 months. Multi color LEDs and audio alerts provide clear guidance, reduce errors, and cut picking time while minimizing battery waste.

Making the Change

Transitioning to sustainable logistics does not require sacrificing performance. Lotwork solutions deliver immediate ROI with lower energy costs, measurable ESG improvements, faster picking, higher accuracy, and improved worker satisfaction.



Our ultra low power technology platform, developed over a decade and protected by extensive patents, enables continuous innovation designed to enhance efficiency and sustainability across North American warehouses.
