The Zebra RS5000 is a compact, ultra-rugged corded ring scanner designed to maximize the productivity of workers using Zebra's wearable computers. It provides hands-free 1D/2D scanning, allowing workers to use both hands to handle materials, which is crucial for efficient warehouse and manufacturing operations.

Here is a summary of its key features and applications:

Hands-Free Performance:

• Wearable Design: The RS5000 is a single-finger scanner that can be worn on either the left or right hand. This ergonomic design leaves both hands free for picking, sorting, and other tasks.

   

• Ambidextrous Operation: A convenient swivel feature allows workers to easily switch between right- and left-handed operation on the fly.

   

• Omnidirectional Scanning: It captures both 1D and 2D barcodes from any angle with "point-and-shoot" simplicity, reducing training requirements and speeding up barcode capture.

   

• PRZM Intelligent Imaging: This exclusive Zebra technology enables lightning-fast capture of virtually any barcode, including those that are scratched, dirty, or poorly printed. It also helps to reduce decode time and power usage.

   

• Wide Working Range: Workers can capture barcodes from near contact to over 25 inches (63.5 cm) away.

   

Extreme Durability:

• Rugged Construction: The RS5000 is designed for challenging warehouse and manufacturing environments. It can withstand multiple drops from 4 ft (1.2 m) to concrete and is rated for 1,000 tumbles from 0.5 m.

   

• IP65 Sealing: It is dust-proof and spray-proof, making it a reliable solution for dirty or wet environments.

   

• Sub-Zero Operation: The scanner is designed to be used in freezer environments, with an operating temperature range from -22°F to 122°F (-30°C to 50°C).

   

Connectivity and Compatibility:

• Corded Connectivity: The RS5000 is a corded scanner that draws power from the host wearable computer (such as the Zebra WT6000 or WT41N0), eliminating the need to manage batteries for the scanner itself.

• Easy to Deploy: It connects in seconds to compatible Zebra wearable computers, providing a simple, plug-and-play solution.

   

• Separate Finger Strap Assembly: The separate and easy-to-replace finger strap assemblies help improve hygiene and prevent the spread of germs in shared-device environments.

   

Ideal Applications: The Zebra RS5000 is a key component in Zebra's multi-modal solutions for a wide range of industries, including:

• Warehousing: For order picking, put-away, and inventory management.

   

• Manufacturing: For line-side parts tracking and work-in-progress monitoring.

   

• Transportation & Logistics: For package sorting and shipping.

   

• Retail: For backroom inventory and stock management.
