Amazon was just granted two patents for wristbands that can track hand movements of warehouse employees.
According to Geekwire, these wristbands are designed to track where an employee’s hands are in relation to inventory bins and even provide immediate feedback when a worker is placing something in the wrong bin.
The patents were originally filed in 2016 and were granted this Tuesday, though Amazon has made no announcements about the manufacturing of these devices.
