Zebra RW 420 Route Palette integrates Motorola’s MC9500 Series Mobile Computers

Zebra announces the release of their next version of rugged RW 420 Route Palette. This integrated carrying device is designed to work specifically with Motorola’s new MC9500 industrial grade mobile handheld computer. Ideal for route accounting, direct store delivery or field service and sales operations, the RW 420 brings efficiency and ease-of-use to field mobility applications, saving valuable time and money.

Designed to handle the harsh demands of mobile computing in the field, the RW 420 Route Palette is the most rugged of its kind, with an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IP 42, making it resistant to certain environmental conditions, such as moisture, dust and dirt.

With a lightweight shoulder strap and solid handle, mobile workers can carry the Palette easily to customer visits – then cradle it on their arm like a painter’s palette as they enter data, print receipts, invoices and inventory pick tickets, eliminating the need to search for separate mobile devices attached to their belt. Other key features include:

• Built-in DEX (Digital Exchange) interface – Allows for the worker to use the customers’ IT system and download data about the product that is being delivered such as quantity and pricing. It also allows for a quick settlement or reconciliation between the delivering company and the location receiving the product.
• Simultaneous charging – Both the printer and handheld computer can charge simultaneously via a single source, so there’s no need to purchase separate chargers, saving money and space.
• User flexibility – The easy device release allows workers to use the printer and computer individually, minimizing company downtime and spare pools. In addition, integrated feet let users stand the Palette up while they type into the handheld or perform other tasks.

Separate versions of the RW 420 Route Palette are available to support the Motorola MC9500 series, MC9090-S, MC75 or MC70 mobile computer.
