Description

NIMMSTA offers the world’s first backhand scanner with touch display for freehand scanning, which generates an increase in efficiency of up to 40 percent for all work processes, especially in the logistics industry. With a weight of 45 grams, the HS 50 is the lightest and smallest backhand scanner and captures 1D, 2D, POSTAL and DOT barcodes up to four meters away at a high-performance level.
The interactive user interface on the Paperwhite touch display provides the user all relevant data for the scanning process and enables entries and confirmations. According to the principle ‘login and leave it in your pocket’ the touch display can be used as an additional display and input unit in the process and no further device is necessary.

The scanning process is activated with the thumb via the trigger button or directly via the touch display. The haptic, acoustic and optical feedback function reduces the error rate. Due to the flexible velcro fastening on the back of the hand, both hands remain free to grip the goods directly and the position of the scanner and the trigger button can be positioned individually and ergonomically optimal for each employee. The HS 50 components (scanner, trigger pad and cuff) can be assembled modularly. Consumables such as the cuff or the trigger pad can be replaced easily and cost-effectively, as no electronics are installed. For user-friendly handling, cuffs and trigger pads are available in different sizes (each for left and right-handed users).

Innovations

The HS 50 especially stands out with its integrated touch display. No comparable product on the market fulfills this characteristic. With the HS 50, the previous search for the scanning device, capture the barcode, look at the monitor and then put the scanner down again to be able to grip the goods is a thing of the past. Scanning, reading of information as well as entries via the touch display are done in the working movement. Due to these features time and money can be saved. A further main feature is that no electronic components are built into the cuff. This means that the scanner and trigger button can be placed ergonomically optimal for each user and the cuff can be easily washed or replaced, which is very important with regard to sustainability.

Market relevance

The target group is primarily the entire logistics industry. The German logistics market alone has a total volume of more than 279 billion euros and over 3.2 million employees (more than 300 million worldwide). The potential for NIMMSTA and the HS 50 is enormous. Regarding Industry 4.0. the HS 50 is ideal to ensure the necessary connectivity. The aim of NIMMSTA is to optimize not only one process step, but the entire value chain. The focus is on creating more efficiency for customers, delivering quality, and ensuring customer productivity and growth, while improving the situation of employees and the environment.
