The 75-gram wearable that brings AI to the shop floor

IDTOTAL counts 250M+ items a year for retailers, so it built the tool it always wanted. IDTrex TR1 is a 75-gram wearable that scans hands-free, guides each task on screen and answers workers by voice, powered by a private LLM that keeps company data in-house. Now in field testing, it's seeking pilot partners and investors at Disrupt 2026.
