Lost & Found
Introduction

Always know where your scanners are, have them available and ready at the start of shifts, optimizing operational readiness and avoiding scanner replacement costs. Save on replacement costs and see productivity increase with every shift.
Lost & Found device settings enhance your operational efficiency by helping you keep track of your devices and enabling a more accurate status of their performance and maintenance. Monitor performance and quickly identify devices that are not being charged or are not in use. Provide solutions to your workforce that will enhance their process and support good habits for returning the devices to chargers after every shift.

Connectivity Device Signal and Scanner Signal
Reduce the risk of losing your scanners, monitor inactive ones and ensure your workforce starts their every new shift with charged devices.
These settings allows for a broader view of how your ProGlove scanners are maintained and how they are performing. Once you enable the signal exchange between your scanners and the Connectivity Device, the information will be sent to INSIGHT.
Select if your scanners should send signals when in charger or when inactive. Both options are selected by default and enable a specific scanner status to be visible in INSIGHT.
See here for more details.
Inactive Mode feedback
Configure your ProGlove scanners so they alert you with sound and/or vibration when they're out of contact, i.e. not paired with a Connectivity Device (not in active use) and not charging.
Out-of-range feedback
Let the scanners remind your workers to return them to the charger or hand them over to other teams when they are leaving the range of the working station.
