Zebra's WT6300 Wearable Computer
Warehouses deal with two challenges that seem to get tougher every year: keeping up with productivity demands and filling open positions.
Ecommerce sales have driven so much growth and demand for productivity they have created over 452,000 new warehousing and distribution jobs since 2018. The beginning of 2021 sees an unemployment rate of 6.7%, leaving a larger base of potential employees, however, necessary skill levels may be lacking.
The variance of skilled laborers suggests that improvements in technology from scanning and data recording to faster label printing and carts or forklifts that become mobile workstations.
Wrist and Ring Scanners
Handheld scanners are a staple in warehousing but repetitive picking up and putting down wastes thousands of seconds that add up. Ring scanners become an extension of the worker’s hand that is activated as easily as touching fingers together. These scanners wired or wirelessly connected to a small mobile computer, that can be strapped easily onto a forearm, have become the complete answer for near-range data collection at its fastest.
Zebra's WT6300
The WT6300 features a new keypad option that provides a familiar interface for manual keyed input. Improvements on the WT6000 model include more processing power, RAM and Flash memory drastically improving performance.
The WT6300 runs Android™ 10, with a pathway to Android 11, to deliver superior future-proofing. It is rugged and ready for the toughest environments, including the freezer. Improved WiFi support delivers 'no-drop' dependable connections and maximum Bluetooth peripheral performance and range with Bluetooth 5.0 Class 1 support. Connect a Bluetooth ring scanner and HD4000 Head-Mounted Display for a complete solution. Plus, users can capture images via a paired Zebra ring scanner to document proof of condition on-the-fly.
Superior ergonomics for all-day hands-free comfort
The WT6300 mounts securely on either wrist, purpose-built for wearable hands-free use. Lightweight with a low center of gravity, it minimizes muscle effort and worker fatigue. The mounting system with micro-adjustability enables a perfect custom fit on any arm. The display also detects gloves automatically and adjusts touch sensitivity as needed, supporting common gestures such as pinch-to-zoom and swipe.
Rugged industrial design for all-day use—in any environment
The WT6300 is dustproof, water-resistant and built to handle everyday use. Gorilla® Glass delivers scratch and shatter resistance on the touchscreen display. The screen works even when wet. The WT6300 is the only device in its class rated for freezer use, with a battery rated for operation at -22°F/-30°C. Plus, it is drop-tested across the entire temperature range—critical in freezer environments where plastics become very brittle.
