Bluetooth in Logistics - Will It Still Slip Between the Cup and the Lip?

Overview Till date the UPS package tracking system had workers use ring scanners that were cabled to small computers on the wrist. The new system replaces this with a Bluetooth embedded cordless ring scanner that feeds data to a hip-mounted Windows CE terminal, that in turn uses 802.11b standard to communicate to the wireless LAN. One server is to aggregate data at each of UPS' 2,000 distribution hubs. Further, these will relay data to the centralized tracking system in New Jersey.
