Crown unveils wearable tech
New Bremen, OH, United States

Crown Equipment Corporation has introduced a transceiver strap wireless remote for its QuickPick Remote order picking system, which provides warehouse and distribution managers with an additional wearable option for their operators.
The transceiver strap is secured to the operator's wrist and finger with adjustable straps, leaving their hand free for low-level order picking. It features a conveniently located, thumb-actuated button that operators press to advance the forklift to the next pick slot without having to return to the operator compartment. A wireless transceiver module that snaps into a holder on the back of the transceiver strap transmits and receives RF signals from the forklift. The strap fits over all glove types, making it ideal for cold temperature applications such as freezers and coolers.
Also available are a transceiver glove or transceiver trigger to remotely advance the truck.
