Boosting Efficiency with Peakboard and ProGlove: The Perfect Duo for Smart Manufacturing

Reading time: 4 min. |
In the fast-paced world of manufacturing and logistics, efficiency is everything. Workers need to access and process data quickly while staying hands-free. That’s where Peakboard and ProGlove come together to create a seamless, smart workflow that enhances real-time data visibility, optimizes processes, and improves worker experience. Let’s break down how this integration benefits your operations.

1. Real-Time Data at Your Fingertips

ProGlove scanners allow workers to scan barcodes effortlessly while keeping their hands free for other tasks. When combined with Peakboard’s real-time dashboard capabilities, scanned data is instantly displayed on a visual interface. This ensures that workers always have up-to-date information without needing to check a separate device or workstation.

🔹 Example: A warehouse worker scans an item, and Peakboard instantly updates the display with storage location, order status, or product details—reducing search time and manual errors.

2. Immediate Feedback for Faster Decision-Making

With Peakboard, ProGlove scanners can receive instant feedback through LED signals or vibrations. This means workers don’t have to look at a separate screen for confirmation—they get a quick response directly from their scanner.

🔹 Example: If a worker scans the wrong item, the scanner vibrates or flashes red. If it’s correct, it gives a green light. This speeds up processes, minimizes mistakes, and ensures accuracy in warehouse picking or assembly tasks.

3. Seamless SAP Integration for Automated Workflows

Many factories and warehouses use SAP for inventory and order management. Peakboard bridges the gap between ProGlove and SAP, enabling automatic data transfers and reducing manual input.

🔹 Example: When an employee picks an item from the warehouse, ProGlove sends the scanned data to Peakboard, which then updates SAP in real time. This eliminates delays in inventory tracking and ensures that orders are processed without bottlenecks.

4. Hands-Free Efficiency for a More Productive Workforce

Traditional barcode scanners require manual handling, slowing down workflows. ProGlove’s wearable scanners, combined with Peakboard’s real-time visualization and automation, empower employees to work faster and smarter.

Key benefits:

  • Reduced scanning time – Workers scan barcodes in seconds without handling bulky devices.
  • Fewer errors – Instant feedback prevents incorrect scans from being processed.
  • Better visibility – Peakboard dashboards provide real-time tracking of scanned items, reducing confusion and improving efficiency.

Conclusion: A Smarter, More Connected Workforce

By integrating Peakboard and ProGlove, companies gain a powerful combination of real-time data, automation, and hands-free efficiency. Workers stay productive, errors decrease, and businesses improve their operational flow without added complexity.
