Claim 17:
18. A method of tracking the failure rate or usage of a hand wearable comprising the steps of:
providing a hand wearable comprising;
a barcode scanner attachment device, the barcode scanner attachment device receptacle being configured to removably couple thereto a barcode reader;
a trigger device, the trigger device being electrically coupled to a trigger port of the barcode scanner attachment device receptacle;
a nonvolatile memory device, the nonvolatile memory device being electrically coupled to a memory port of the barcode scanner attachment device;
wherein the nonvolatile memory device stores hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information;
wherein the nonvolatile memory device holds the stored hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information when power to the nonvolatile memory device is turned off;
wherein the nonvolatile memory device makes the stored hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information available when the power to the nonvolatile memory device is turned on;

connecting a barcode reader to the barcode scanner attachment device;
connecting the barcode reader to an online cloud computer;
receiving at the barcode reader, the online cloud computer, or both hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information from the nonvolatile memory device of the hand wearable;
storing the hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information received from the nonvolatile memory device of the hand wearable;
tracking the failure rate or usage of the hand wearable used with the hand wearable;
implementing a predetermined predictive action protocol before failure of the hand wearable; and
sending an alert to the barcode reader when the predetermined predictive action protocol indicates an impending failure of the hand wearable.
