The Zebra SwiftScan RS5100 is a rugged wearable ring scanner family designed to keep workers hands-free while delivering high-performance barcode capture across warehouses, retail, manufacturing and logistics. Available in single-finger, back-of-hand and dual-trigger configurations, RS5100 variants use proven SE47xx imaging engines to read 1D and 2D barcodes (and OCR where specified) and integrate wirelessly with host devices. Built for all-shift use, the series combines lightweight ergonomics, configurable trigger and mounting options, robust IP65 sealing and enterprise connectivity (Bluetooth, NFC and optional USB) to boost throughput, reduce errors and simplify deployment across large-scale, mobile scanning workflows.

Key Features

  • Wearable, Hands-Free Form Factor: Ring and back-of-hand mounting options free both hands for picking, packing and material handling to increase throughput and operator comfort.
  • Advanced Imaging Performance: SE4770 and SE4710 imager options provide reliable 1D/2D capture and OCR capability for consistent reads across labels, screens and varied symbologies.
  • Modern Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth (including 5.2), NFC and optional USB support flexible pairing and integration with mobile computers and host systems for seamless data flow.
  • Rugged, Shift-Ready Design: IP65 ingress protection, drop resistance and durable materials enable dependable operation in demanding industrial and retail environments.
  • Long Battery Endurance: Replaceable and built‑in Li‑Ion options with standard and enhanced capacities support full shifts—up to approximately 12 hours or thousands of scans per charge.
  • Operator-Friendly Controls & Feedback: Single- and dual-trigger configurations, ambidextrous wearing styles, programmable LEDs, acoustic signals and optional vibration confirm successful scans in noisy workflows.
