Analyzing the effects of wearable ring scanners on sustainability and ergonomics in warehouse operations

This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a wearable ring scanner in improving environmental, economic, and social sustainability specifically in a warehouse setting. By addressing these objectives, this research aims to provide valuable insights into the suitability and sustainability of the ring scanner as a potential means of enhancing warehouse operations. A life cycle assessment, activity-based cost analysis, and comfort rating scale will be used as research methods. The results of this research will immediately benefit the Canadian warehouse and distribution industries and its relevant stakeholders (e.g., policy makers, marketers and sustainability practitioners) in Canada.
