Description
ico-plus ico-minus

The Zebra RS6100 Wearable is a professional-grade hands-free barcode scanning family designed for high-throughput enterprise workflows in warehousing, logistics, retail and cold‑chain environments. Built around Zebra SE55/SE5500 area imagers, RS6100 variants deliver fast, reliable capture of 1D and 2D codes — including scratched or poorly printed labels — while enabling mobile operators to keep both hands free. Rugged IP65 construction, removable Li‑ion batteries in multiple capacities, Bluetooth connectivity (including Bluetooth 5.2, BLE and NFC on some SKUs) and a range of wearable mounts provide flexible deployment, reduced downtime and improved operator productivity across demanding operational settings.

Key Features

  • Hands‑free wearable design: Back‑of‑hand and hand‑mount formats with interchangeable wearing options keep workers mobile and productive without interrupting tasks.
  • Advanced area imaging: SE55/SE5500 imagers provide dependable 1D/2D capture, including challenging, damaged, or poorly printed barcodes.
  • Flexible connectivity: Wireless Bluetooth integration (including Bluetooth 5.2 and BLE), NFC tap‑to‑pair on select SKUs and wired options for tight integration with enterprise devices.
  • Rugged and field‑ready: IP65 ingress protection, drop and ESD protection on industrial SKUs ensure reliable operation in harsh environments and cold storage.
  • Removable, swappable batteries: Li‑ion battery options (standard and extended capacities) enable hot‑swap replacement to minimize downtime during shifts.
  • Extended scanning range: Models support short‑to‑long range capture (examples include standard range up to 12.2 m and long‑range options for extended distances) to suit different workflow requirements.
