From Touch Gloves to Touch Work Gloves for Industry Professionals
When Jean and I started Agloves®, we wanted to create the most accurate, the most precise, touchscreen gloves in the marketplace. Our goal was to provide a hand-warming solution for people who love their iPhone and don’t like typos, sloppiness or being cold.
Now, Agloves has taken our technology to the job site with the introduction of Heavy Duty Grip Touch work gloves, or “AgHD” work gloves. The criterion for construction, agriculture, transportation and utility industries (to name just a few) have changed. Tablets, smartphones and capacitive touchscreen interfaces are becoming a regular tool for workers. Because the workplace has changed, gloves need to change too. The same old glove with fingertips cut out, or retrofitted with conductive finger patches won’t cut it. It’s important to do the job right the first time. Time is money and sloppy gloves are less efficient and lead to errors and excuses.

Agloves in action.
Trimble introduced new capacitive touchscreen devices this year. They came to Agloves for a work glove to accompany their new devices. Agloves are currently offered as an accessory for Trimble’s new smartphone inspired rugged handheld computer, the Juno T41. The Trimble® Juno® T41™ is a includes processing power, data storage and integrated capabilities so workers can do more in the field, the office and everywhere else. It’s available with water and dust resistance, and it meets rigorous MIL-STD-810G standards for resistance to shock, drops, vibration and more.
