The Zebra Ring Scanner RS5000 is a wearable, corded barcode scanner family engineered to enable hands-free data capture in demanding enterprise environments. Designed for warehouses, cold storage, retail backrooms, manufacturing and logistics, the RS5000 series combines a lightweight ring/wearable form factor with the SE4770 2D area imager and PRZM Intelligent Imaging to deliver reliable capture of 1D and 2D barcodes from near contact to standard short ranges. Rugged IP65 construction, glove‑compatible trigger options and ambidextrous mounting improve operator comfort and uptime, while corded power and straightforward integration with Zebra wearable host computers simplify deployment for high-volume picking, packing and inventory workflows.
Key Features
- Wearable hands‑free design: Ring/ring‑style form factor keeps both hands available to increase throughput during picking, packing and material handling tasks.
- Accurate 1D/2D capture: SE4770 imager with PRZM Intelligent Imaging enables fast, reliable reading of both 1D and 2D symbologies, even on damaged or poorly printed labels.
- Rugged and cold‑ready: IP65 sealing and rugged construction support operation in industrial and cold‑storage environments, including variants with freezer‑glove compatible triggers.
- Flexible trigger options: Standard finger trigger with optional large, glove‑compatible freezer trigger improves usability across glove and bare‑hand workflows.
- Ambidextrous mounting: Swivel/ambidextrous design supports left‑ or right‑hand use for ergonomic comfort during long shifts.
