Locate the Right Part Successfully—Every Time
Locate the Right Part Successfully—Every Time Zebra takes a new approach to the creation of two key error-proofing tools—Object Locate and Pattern Matching. Zebra’s optimized algorithms and carefully crafted default settings enable users to dependably create successful tools with fewer clicks, less trial and error, and less deployment time and effort.
Easy to Deploy
Programmable Input/Output (I/O) Ports Get the ultimate in I/O flexibility. Four digital I/O ports can be individually controlled to expand application functionality and improve error- proofing. Support additional peripherals, activate lights, or trigger an action to more fully automate your processes.
Ultra-Rugged and Ready for Industrial Spaces
Ultra-Rugged and Ready for Industrial Spaces Rely on dependable operation in the most demanding environments with an ultra-rugged design. The aluminum housing is chemical and oil resistant and IP65-sealed.
Operator Feedback/Status Indicators
Operator Feedback/Status Indicators With four built-in camera status LEDs—Power, Decode, Online/Run and Ethernet Status—workers can see at a glance if a decode was successful or unsuccessful, protecting product quality and traceability—and whether cameras are operational or in need of attention. In addition, a beeper with adjustable volume provides an audible cue of a successful decode, so workers can keep their eyes on the job—instead of the device.
Added Flexibility With the Zebra Aurora HMI dashboard
Added Flexibility With the Zebra Aurora HMI dashboard Give workers actionable intelligence right where they need it—at their station. Operators can see and interact with the Zebra Aurora Human Machine Interface (HMI) dashboard via any web browser.
