The ZEBRA MC9400 is an ultra-rugged handheld computer belonging to Zebra's MC9000 series, mainly designed for tough industrial scenarios like warehouses and cold storage facilities. It stands out with powerful performance, advanced scanning functions and excellent durability. Here is a detailed overview:
Processing & Storage: It is equipped with a 2.4GHz Qualcomm 4490 octa-core processor, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of flash memory, which can smoothly run multiple industrial applications at the same time. Besides, it has a microSD expansion slot supporting up to 2TB of additional storage, meeting the needs of large-volume data storage.
Operating System: It operates on the Android system and supports system updates and security patches to ensure long-term stable operation and security.
Display & Input: It has a 4.3-inch WVGA (800x480) color display with a brightness of 600 nits. The screen uses Corning Gorilla Glass and supports finger, gloved finger or stylus input. It also offers multiple backlit, field-replaceable keypads, such as 58-key alphanumeric and 29-key numeric/calculation versions, adapting to different operational needs.
Scanning Capability: It adopts the SE58 extended-range scan engine with IntelliFocus™ technology. This engine can scan 1D and 2D barcodes from as close as handheld distance to 30.5 meters away. Its green laser aimer is up to seven times more visible than traditional red aimers, improving scanning accuracy and efficiency.
It is powered by a 3.6V, 7000mAh (25.2Wh) rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Optional batteries are available for specific scenarios, including a 5000mAh battery for freezer environments and a 7000mAh non-incendive battery. The hot-swappable battery design enables temporary session persistence, avoiding data loss during battery replacement.
This model supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth connections, delivering ultra-fast wireless transmission speeds with quadruple bandwidth and triple capacity compared to previous Wi-Fi versions. It also comes with a USB 2.0 high-speed interface for wired connections to other devices. Note that its counterpart MC9450 adds 5G data connectivity with nano-SIM and eSIM options, while the MC9400 is limited to Wi-Fi-only environments.
It meets the MIL-STD-810H military standard, capable of withstanding drops from 3.65 meters onto concrete. The standard model can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C, and the freezer-specific model can work in environments as low as -30°C, with condensation-resistant features like heaters for the scanner window. Additionally, it has dust and water resistance (rated IP65 and IP68).
It is widely used in logistics and retail fields, such as cross-docking, shipping and receiving, order processing, and inventory management. It can also be paired with maintenance plans and various accessories to reduce maintenance costs and enhance operational flexibility.
