Our Hyco W26 ring scanner, fully charged, can operate for 24.5 hours (about 14397 scans). Compared to similar products on the market, our scanner provides industrial ruggedness while offering a lighter weight and smaller size to improve the user experience.

If the intent is to help drivers find packages more readily in a vehicle to expedite delivery, then the addition of wireless light tag on the items would provide visual and sound clues for spotting location, resulting in a more effective approach for quick retrieval.

We believe our GoHomeEarly solution eliminates non-essential actions that are pain points for drivers while simultaneously providing for a human-centric technology deployment that improves productivity. Our solution uses Hyco’s wireless light tag in combination with a wearable computer for the driver. Placed on the packages, the light tags provide visual and sound clues for the driver to quickly locate items in a delivery van. The wearable computer provides verbal guidance for routing and delivery.

Don’t Overlook The Importance of Hardware-Software Integration. As an engineer and inventor, I have seen a persistent problem with technological development of late —- product makers focusing solely on software innovation without considering the role of its integration to hardware. Although this problem can be seen across all sorts of industries, it has had a particular negative impact on productivity and efficiency when it crops up in logistics and supply chain applications.

Companies investing in IoT devices need to make sure that the products they buy provide for stable wireless communication. Here at Hyco we design and build our IoT products to achieve the best signal sensitivity possible so our customers receive a stable communication experience.

The components of the HYCO ULPCP (Ultra-Low Power Consumption Platform) are shown in the upper left part of the diagram below. They primarily include ultra-low power motors and their drivers, the HYOS operating system designed for ultra-low power and low-cost hardware needs, advanced RF (radio frequency) technology, industry-specific ultra-low power SOC (system on chip) integrated circuits, and algorithm optimization.
