Honeywell 8675I400SR-2-N Wearable Ring Scanner
The Honeywell 8675I400SR-2-N is a wearable ring scanner purpose-built for mobile warehouse and logistics operations where operators need to scan barcodes without putting down materials or tools. This compact 1D/2D barcode scanner delivers enterprise-grade decoding performance in a 28-gram form factor — light enough to wear throughout an entire shift without fatigue — while maintaining rugged IP55 environmental protection for both indoor and outdoor scanning scenarios.
Key Features
- Wearable ring form factor, 28 grams: Worn on the operator's finger or hand, eliminating the need to set down items during picking, packing, or inventory tasks. The lightweight design means no hand fatigue even during 8–10 hour picking shifts. This design choice directly increases throughput by removing the workflow friction of scanning, setting down the scanner, picking up materials, repeating.
- 1D/2D barcode capture with aggressive decoding: Scans traditional barcodes (Code 128, UPC, EAN) and 2D codes (PDF417, QR, DataMatrix). The decoder is tuned to handle real-world barcode challenges — faded ink, crease damage, high-density symbols, poor print quality — reducing rescan rates and operator frustration on aging labels.
- IP55 dust and moisture protection: IP55 means sustained water spray and dust exposure won't degrade performance. Deploy outdoors on loading docks, in yard operations, or during outdoor inventory audits without worrying about rain or dust ingress. This is not waterproof (IP67), so submersion is not safe — avoid high-pressure spray or full immersion in water.
- Bluetooth wireless connectivity: Pairs with any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, handheld terminal, or enterprise data capture platform. No tether or USB cable required, enabling true hands-free operation. Range is typical Bluetooth (30–100 feet depending on interference), sufficient for warehouse floor and yard scanning.
- 380 mAh rechargeable battery: Provides continuous operation through a full shift with typical use. Charging time is not specified in available documentation. For multi-shift or 24/7 operations, confirm charging protocol with the manufacturer or your systems integrator before deployment.
- Ergonomic design for two-handed workflows: Unlike traditional handheld scanners that occupy one hand, the ring scanner sits passively on the operator's hand or finger, leaving both hands free for picking, carrying, and material handling. This is particularly valuable in order fulfillment and manufacturing environments where operators are constantly juggling multiple items.
Integration & Compatibility
The 8675I400SR-2-N (often searched as 8675I400SR 2 N) connects via standard Bluetooth, making it compatible with enterprise mobile computers running Android or Windows, iOS devices, and Bluetooth-enabled barcode scanner terminals from major vendors. Integration with warehouse management systems, inventory platforms, and order fulfillment software is handled through the paired device's existing software stack — the ring scanner itself acts as a pure input device, sending keystrokes or data packets to the host. Confirm your mobile device or terminal supports Bluetooth pairing and standard barcode data transmission before procurement.
Deployment Scenarios
Warehouse & Distribution: Mobile picking and inventory verification where operators carry totes or scan shelves. The hands-free design accelerates pick rates by eliminating scanner pickup/putdown cycles.
Manufacturing & In-line Verification: Component tracking and production verification where operators need to scan incoming materials, finished goods, or assembly steps without releasing parts or tools.
Last-Mile Delivery & Field Service: Outdoor asset scanning and delivery verification. The IP55 rating handles light rain, dust, and spillage common in yard operations.
Retail & Omnichannel Fulfillment: Stock receiving, cycle counting, and order packing where high-speed, high-volume scanning is the priority.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 8675I400SR-2-N drop-rated for warehouse environments?
A: Drop rating is not specified in the available documentation. Given the 28-gram lightweight design and wearable form factor, it is designed to be worn rather than dropped repeatedly. For durability requirements in harsh environments, contact the manufacturer or your integrator for testing data or ruggedization options.
Q: How does the 380 mAh battery perform across a full warehouse shift?
A: The battery capacity is 380 mAh, but runtime is not specified in available documentation. Battery life depends on scanning frequency, Bluetooth range, and ambient temperature. Before deployment, confirm runtime with field trials or the manufacturer, especially for 10–12 hour shifts or high-volume scanning environments (50+ scans per minute).
Q: Can I integrate the 8675I400SR-2-N with our existing warehouse management system?
A: Yes, via Bluetooth pairing to a mobile device or terminal that runs your WMS software. The ring scanner acts as a barcode input device — it sends scan data to the paired device, which handles all integration. Confirm your WMS mobile app supports Bluetooth barcode scanning input before purchase.
Q: What Bluetooth version does the 8675I400SR-2-N use?
A: Bluetooth version is not specified in available product documentation. Standard industrial Bluetooth 4.0 or 5.0 is typical for wearable scanners. For specific Bluetooth version or dual-band (2.4GHz + 5GHz) support, request detailed specifications from the manufacturer.
Q: Is the 8675I400SR-2-N suitable for outdoor or wet environments?
A: IP55 protection means it handles dust and water spray, making it suitable for outdoor loading docks, yard operations, and damp warehouse environments. It is not rated for submersion (that requires IP67 or higher). Avoid high-pressure washdowns or continuous water jets.
Q: What is the warranty on the 8675I400SR-2-N?
A: Warranty terms are not specified in the available product documentation. Contact the manufacturer or your authorized supplier for warranty period, coverage details, and replacement/repair policies.

The Honeywell 8675I400SR-2-N addresses a genuine workflow pain point in high-volume picking and inventory operations: the overhead cost of setting down and picking up a handheld scanner dozens of times per hour. At 28 grams, this ring scanner sits passively on the operator's hand, delivering 1D/2D barcode capture without occupying either hand. For order fulfillment and warehouse environments running lean labor models, this design translates directly to 5–15% throughput gains by eliminating the micro-delay of scanner-handling tasks. The IP55 rating ensures deployment outdoors on loading docks or in yard operations without operational workarounds.
Technical Highlights:
- Wearable ring form factor, 28g: Worn passively, freeing both hands for two-handed picking, carrying, and material handling. No fatigue or hand strain across 8–10 hour shifts, unlike tethered or handheld devices.
- Aggressive 1D/2D decoding: Engineered to scan faded, creased, or poorly printed barcodes common in industrial environments, reducing rescan rates that drive operator frustration and throughput loss.
- IP55 dust and moisture protection: Handles outdoor yard operations, loading dock spray, and warehouse humidity. Not submersible — avoid high-pressure washdown scenarios.
- Bluetooth wireless: Pairs with any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device or enterprise terminal, eliminating cable tether. Typical range (30–100 feet) covers standard warehouse floor and yard operations.
Deployment Considerations:
- Battery runtime not specified: 380 mAh capacity does not map directly to shift length. Confirm actual runtime (in hours) with the manufacturer for high-frequency scanning (50+ scans per minute) or multi-shift environments before committing to fleet deployment.
- Bluetooth pairing is required: The 8675I400SR-2-N pairs to a mobile device or terminal — it does not connect directly to traditional handheld scanners or docks. Ensure your WMS mobile app supports Bluetooth barcode input before rollout.
- Form factor requires trained wear: Unlike familiar handheld scanners, ring scanners require operator training and familiarization. Plan onboarding and test with a pilot group before full-scale deployment.
The 8675I400SR-2-N is the right fit for high-volume, two-handed picking operations — order fulfillment, manufacturing, and logistics environments where scan frequency and operator comfort drive throughput. Skip this if your workflow relies on fixed-position scanning (conveyor, dock gate) or if your mobile devices lack Bluetooth support. For lower-volume or ergonomically unconstrained environments, a traditional handheld scanner may be more cost-effective.
