Canada’s Walmart tries ring scanners

Walmart Inc.’s Canadian stores are now outfitting some of their workers with a ring-mounted scanner that the company says helps them fill online grocery orders faster.More than 1,500 of the rings have arrived at more than 130 stores, Walmart Canada said in a corporate blog post. The rings are “one of the first pieces of wearable technology to be deployed by Walmart Canada,” the company said.The scanners make it easier and more comfortable for store workers to “pick” items for orders, the company said, and their lightweight and intuitive design keeps both hands free for picking.
