ProGlove Documentation

Advanced Scanning features - Full support for the newest addition to device configuration settings that help you scan and process multiple different barcodes quickly and all at once. See here for more details.

Partial reset of your Gateway device - To quickly adjust devices on your shop floor and switch between processes without interrupting any workflows, you can perform a partial reset on your Gateway devices. We've added two additional reset barcodes that will help you preserve crucial settings on your Gateway, such as its connection with INSIGHT webportal, device and/or network configurations. For more details, visit this page.

Network configurations update - Now you can add NTP (Network Time Protocol) and Proxy settings to your network configurations. NTP servers helps you synchronize time on devices across the entire network. For environments using Proxy servers, which is needed to protect and filter traffic within a private network, you can designate the server and further balance the traffic within.

Support for both Scanner Firmware Gen1 2.14.0 and Scanner Firmware Gen2 1.6.0 was added.

General performance improvements and bug fixes.

Device configuration profiles - Enable configuration profiles and support different processes with a different mix of settings and Workflow Rules, then simply use the double trigger to switch between them, as necessary. See here for more details on how to set up and manage your Gateway's configuration profiles.

Advanced Scanning in the Config tool - Visit the Device configuration pages relevant to your device and check out the new Advanced Scanning settings.

Disabling the double trigger via the Config tool - Disable your scanners from reacting to double triggers using your device configurations in the INSIGHT webportal to support different processes and enable faster scanning performance. Find it in the Scanner settings and check out how it works for your teams.
