As warehouses, manufacturing plants, and field operations evolve, one trend continues to stand out: wearable technology. From exoskeletons to ring scanners and hands-free tablets, wearables are reshaping how teams move, work, and stay efficient on the job.
At InfoCase, we’ve always believed the key to productivity is comfort and protection — not just for your devices, but for the people who use them. That’s why our mission goes beyond cases and sleeves. We’re committed to ergonomic, wearable solutions that empower the workforce to do more with less strain.
Why Ergonomics Matters Now More Than Ever
Recent industry insights highlight how powerful wearable technology has become in boosting productivity and protecting workers (source: Material Handling 24/7):
● Rufus Labs saw a 30% productivity increase in logistics operations through wearable scanners
● AsReader’s RFID glove cut pick times by 50%
● DHL credits ProGlove scanning for “increased transparency and reliability” across 38 facilities
● And in the realm of ergonomics, exoskeletal suits like those from HeroWear reduce worker fatigue by up to 25% and have been linked to zero injuries in pilot facilities
The takeaway? Wearables aren’t the future — they’re the now.
Tried-and-True Wearable Solutions
One of our most trusted innovations is the InfoCase ToughMate User Harness, a 4-point harness designed to create a truly mobile, walking workstation. When paired with a tablet or rugged laptop— especially through our ModuFlex Platforms, users can move freely while keeping their technology accessible and secure.
This hands-free setup turns a tablet or laptop into a wearable workstation, reducing repetitive lifting and awkward handling, while improving ergonomics and safety. It’s a system that’s been tested and proven across logistics, field service, utilities, and manufacturing environments.
Forearm Cradles: Speed, Efficiency, and Device Security
We also introduced our forearm cradles, compatible with Zebra handhelds and OtterBox uniVERSE smartphone cases. These wearable mounts keep devices secured to your person, allowing workers to scan, process, and move without interruption.
When combined with Bluetooth ring scanners or ProGlove wearable scanners, the result is a dramatic boost in productivity —particularly in pick-and-pack, inventory, and harvesting workflows. Hands stay free, movements stay natural, and efficiency climbs.
Beyond improving speed and ergonomics, wearable solutions like these also help reduce the risk of device loss. In many operations, workers set devices down to free up their hands and may spend valuable time searching for them — or, in some cases, the devices may be misplaced entirely, leading to costly replacements. By keeping technology securely attached and always accessible, forearm cradles help ensure that devices stay where they’re needed most: with the worker.
MOLLE-Compatible Tactical & Safety Vest Cases
Our newest development takes wearables to the next level — introducing the MOLLE-compatible tablet case system. Built to integrate with tactical and safety vests, this solution allows users to wear and stow tablets directly on their gear.
No loose straps. No juggling devices. Just seamless, ergonomic access when it matters most.
This setup lets users flip the device down to interact as needed: perfect for workflows where hands and bodies stay active but quick access to data or communication is essential.
Use cases include:
● Material handling and logistics
● Manufacturing and assembly lines
● Retail operations
● Military and public safety applications
It’s a game-changer for professionals who need their tech close, secure, and ready to work as hard as they do.
The New DNA of the Workforce
As AI-driven analytics, RFID, and smart data integrations evolve, wearable devices are moving beyond simple data collection. They’re becoming real-time workflow tools, capable of:
● Optimizing routes and pick sequences
● Reducing repetitive strain injuries
● Improving accuracy and worker satisfaction
● Delivering analytics for better decisions on the floor
This shift marks what industry experts call a “new DNA in the workforce”: a blend of ergonomics, data, and design that puts people and performance first.
InfoCase: Built for the Wearable Era
