OVERVIEW
High-Performance Ring Scanners for Fast-Paced Industrial and Retail Environments
The WSC-1600 and WSC-2700 wearable scanners are the ultimate in hands-free scanning technology when it comes to combined comfort and efficiency. Designed for challenging environments like warehousing and manufacturing, they are surprisingly lightweight, coming in at under 2.1 ounces. With the growth of e-commerce fulfillment, the desire to increase speed and efficiency in warehousing and distribution has never been more important. High-performance ring scanners are becoming widely adopted across the supply chain industry to keep workers hands-free and complete tasks more accurately and at a faster pace.
Scanner Compatibility
AML wearable ring scanners are specifically intended for use with our Dragonfly Wearable Computer and our Firebird VMU forklift computer. However, they may also be paired with any wireless-compatible device such as a laptop or tablet. The WSC-1600 and WSC-2700 barcode scanners can be worn on the finger or the top of the hand using one of our universal strap or glove accessories. Wearing the scanner, as opposed to handheld devices, offers an advantage when it comes to making work activities more efficient without the need to be constantly picking up and setting down handheld scanners. With a barcode scanner attached to the hand, the possibility of damage due to drops, a common occurrence with handheld devices, is greatly reduced.
Barcode Scanning Distance
The WSC-1600 is a versatile 2D imager that can scan any barcode in any orientation. Its depth-of-field, or scan distance, is determined by the type, size, and quality of the barcode, but generally speaking, a range of between 2 inches and 20 inches (50mm to 508mm) is pretty typical. It comes with a mount designed to be worn on the finger with a “thumb-trigger” to activate the scan. It comes with a 600mAh battery, and while battery life is highly dependent on the frequency of scans, a typical “full charge” should last about 8 hours. Weighing in at 1.62 ounces (46g), the WSC-1600 is lightweight and comfortable for all-day use.
The WSC-2700 is very similar to the WSC-1600 in that it also uses 2D imaging technology and can scan any barcode in any orientation. However, it is equipped with highly specialized optics that allow it to scan barcodes as close-up as 2.5 inches, to as far away as 40+ feet…again depending on the type, size, and quality of the barcode. The WSC-2700 weighs slightly more at 2.08 ounces (59g). Due to its higher-performance scanning capabilities, users can expect a reduced battery life, typically in the range of 4 hours.

WARRANTIES
Standard Factory Warranty
AML products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The obligation of AML under the Standard Factory Warranty is limited to furnishing labor and materials necessary to return the product to its normal operating condition, or to replace the unit, at AML’s discretion, and only on a “to factory” basis. This limited warranty does not extend to any product which has been modified, misused, abused, or incorrectly installed.
Extended Warranty Plus
An Extended Warranty Plus may be purchased for eligible products, as denoted on the product warranty chart below. An Extended Warranty Plus REPLACES the standard limited warranty, and provides for the following additional benefits.
- Covers the failure of internal components as a result of normal wear and tear.
- Covers failure of external components regardless of fault. Generally this includes the case, LCD displays, keypads, overlays, lenses, and exposed connectors.
Note: This does not include the replacement of internal components as a result of abuse or excessive wear and tear. Printed circuit boards, scan engines, and other electronic assemblies are not covered if they are physically damaged. - Covers firmware upgrades.
- Four (4) business-day turnaround, excluding time in transit, when RMA number is properly marked on the outside of the box.
- Standard return freight (FedEx ground) included.
The Extended Warranty Plus may be purchased anytime during the term of the standard limited warranty. The Extended Warranty Plus is not an extension of the standard warranty, but instead replaces it. The start date of the Extended Warranty Plus is the start date of the original warranty. Note that the Extended Warranty Plus does not cover products that have been subjected to improper installation, or that have been modified or used for purposes other than what they were intended.
Android OS Statement
Today’s consumer devices are typically only supported for 2-3 years from date of release. While the typical life expectancy for industrial equipment is 5+ years, AML historically exceeds this mark substantially, although no guaranteed life span is made or implied due to the litany of outside factors that can impact a product’s life cycle. At a minimum, AML is committed to maintaining the Striker’s OS firmware for as long as the product is kept in production. This includes periodic updates for critical CVEs (Common Vulnerability and Exposures) that are applicable per the Android Security Bulletins. AML also extends that support beyond Android’s updates if their support ends early by manually patching critical vulnerabilities as necessary.
