Time for future technologies

Time for future technologies

Zebra barcode scanners are designed for the work of tomorrow.

Intelligent technologies determine life and the future in all areas of life, including the world of work. Processes are being automated, media digitised and machines are performing more and more tasks independently. Those who don’t jump on the bandwagon will quickly be left behind by the competition. It is time for your customers to get moving and rely on Zebra’s pioneering technologies.

The market for barcode scanners is very large and fast-moving. It takes a lot of experience to recognise the trends of tomorrow at an early stage and to adapt new products accordingly. Zebra is one of the leading manufacturers in the field of data capture and processing and has precisely this knowledge. With the current and future requirements of your customers in mind, Zebra has launched the DS55 stationary barcode scanner, the 2D handheld scanner DS4678 and the rugged industrial scanner DS3600-XR.

Your customers want to scan barcodes even more easily and quickly? Then Zebra’s DataCapture DNA is just the right solution for them. The software revolutionises the inner workings of your Zebra scanners to deliver even more innovative, better and faster performance in every situation – from integration to implementation and management. To ensure this, the DataCapture DNA consists of a series of optimisation tools. These ensure easy device management, enable remote access, assist with customised configuration and help with troubleshooting and error prevention through real-time statistics.

  • Permanently mounted barcode scanner with compact design
  • Application area: retail, hospitality, light industry, transport
  • Captures 1D, 2D, OCR and mobile barcodes
  • IP54-certified, fall-proof up to 1.5 m height on concrete
  • Accessories: ¼-20 camera mount, 3-in-1 mounting bracket
  • Healthcare model available for laboratories and pharmacies

The new DS55 series is versatile and intelligent. With Zebra’s Intelligent Imaging technology and powerful megapixel sensor, the scanners capture 1D, 2D and OCR barcodes on the first attempt – even damaged or poorly printed ones.

The stationary DS55 can be mounted in a space-saving and flush position at the checkout, under the counter or in the self-service kiosk. The scanner is equipped with a ¼-20 camera mount as standard. A 3-in-1 mounting system is also available as an option. This is a monitor holder, wall bracket and presentation stand in one. The magnetic mounting surface holds the scanner securely in place and allows it to be swivelled to either side if required.

  • 2D hand-held scanner with Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi Friendly Mode
  • Area of application: retail, hospitality, self-service
  • Captures even very small, dense and wide barcodes
  • Megapixel sensor and PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology
  • 2,500 mAh battery, manages up to 50,000 scans on one charge
  • Supports Virtual Tether for theft protection

The DS4678 owes its high scanning performance to an 800 MHz microprocessor, a high-resolution megapixel sensor and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology. The 2,500 mAh battery ensures long operating times and enables up to 50,000 scans on a single charge – that corresponds to more than 13 hours of uninterrupted scanning. The support of Virtual Tether also increases theft protection in the self-service area.


The new DS4678 is flexible and brave. It does not shy away from demanding scanning tasks and captures common 2D barcodes in printed and digital form from the mobile phone display just as reliably and quickly as dot codes, DataMatrix and very small, dense or wide barcodes.

  • Extremely rugged industrial scanner for 1D, 2D, Digimarc and IUID
  • Area of application: Industry, warehouse, transport and logistics
  • Captures barcodes at close range and at a distance of up to 32 m
  • SE5800 scan engine and IntelliFocus technology
  • IP65/IP68, drop-proof up to 3 m, operating temperature: -30 to +50 °C
  • Multi-interface: Bluetooth 4.0, USB, RS-232 and KBW

The new Zebra DS3600-XR is reliable and rugged. Equipped with the SE5800 scan engine and Zebra‘s IntelliFocus technology, it captures 1D, 2D, Digimarc and IUID barcodes reliably and quickly – both at close range and at distances of up to 32 metres.

The DS3600-XR sets new standards in the capture of barcodes. Compared to its predecessors, its reading range has increased by more than 40% and the visibility of the target device by a factor of seven – while, at the same time, reducing its weight by 10%. It is also convincing when it comes to ruggedness: its housing is dust and waterproof to IP65/IP68, it can withstand drops from up to 3 metres onto concrete and can withstand operating temperatures from -30 to +50 °C without any problems.
