Enhance Your WS50 Workflows

In the supply chain enterprises of today, many warehouse operations leverage combinations of vehicle-mounted, hand- held, and wearable mobile computers paired with Bluetooth ring scanners. They envision a future migration to the WS50 as the primary device their workers will interact with, however many applications are not ready to implement this device. 

By enabling the WS50 as a Bluetooth ring scanner, warehouse operations are provided with an upgrade path from a simple ring-scanning solution to a fully-functional Android mobile computer. This removes the traditional obstacles of introducing a new device to an established mobile computer installation.


Start Your WS50 Journey: Easy Tap-to-Pair Setup

With the Evolve Connector, you can begin your WS50 journey by configuring the wearable device as a Bluetooth ring scanner paired with your Android mobile device. Setting up the WS50 is quick and simple, with connection options that include tap-to-pair or barcode scan.

The Evolve Connector is essential for enabling the WS50 to function as a Bluetooth ring scanner, providing a straightforward migration path for future integration.

Advantages

  • Fastest WS50 Deployment: Quickly replaces Bluetooth ring scanners with the WS50.
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with nearly any application, requiring no software modifications.
  • Future-Proof: Offers an upgrade path to a fully-functional WS50 once you're ready.
  • Out-of-the-Box Simplicity: Deploys with minimal knowledge of StayLinked's solution.
  • Broad Compatibility: Works with mobile computers that have Bluetooth and Android 8 or higher.
  • Tap-to-Pair: Simple setup with easy Tap-to-Pair or barcode scanning options.

How It Works

Step 1: Configure the Evolve agent on the Android mobile computer and WS50 using these three steps below.

  1. Configure the Evolve agent on the WS50 as the “Peripheral Device”.
  2. Load the Evolve agent onto the other Android mobile computer you wish to pair to the WS50.
  3. In the Evolve agent on the other Android device, configure the device as the “Primary Device”.

Step 2: Pair the device using NFC (Tap-to-Pair) or by scanning the barcode on the screen of the primary device.

Note: Data from the “Peripheral Device” will always scan into the foreground application on the “Primary Device”.
