This post explores the key features, benefits, and practical applications of the Zebra EM45 and TC22R. Whether you are considering upgrading your current devices or exploring RFID technology for the first time, this guide will provide clear insights into how these handheld computers can support your business goals.
What Makes the Zebra EM45 and TC22R Stand Out
Zebra’s new handheld computers are built to handle tough environments while delivering reliable RFID scanning and data capture. Here are some of the standout features:
Rugged Design
Both devices meet military-grade standards for durability. They resist drops, dust, water, and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for warehouses, outdoor retail, and field service.
Advanced RFID Technology
The EM45 and TC22R support UHF RFID reading, enabling fast and accurate scanning of tags from a distance. This improves inventory tracking and asset management without the need for line-of-sight scanning.
User-Friendly Interface
The devices feature bright, responsive touchscreens and physical buttons for easy operation, even with gloves. The TC22R offers a compact form factor, while the EM45 provides a larger screen and extended battery life.
Seamless Connectivity
Both handhelds support Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, ensuring fast data transfer and connection to other devices or networks. This keeps workers connected and information flowing in real time.
Long Battery Life
Designed for full-shift use, the EM45 and TC22R batteries last through demanding workdays, reducing downtime and the need for frequent charging.
How RFID Enhances Business Operations
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology allows businesses to track items quickly and accurately without scanning barcodes one by one. Here’s how the EM45 and TC22R leverage RFID to improve workflows:
Faster Inventory Counts
Workers can scan multiple tagged items simultaneously, reducing the time needed for stocktaking. This speeds up inventory audits and improves accuracy.
Improved Asset Tracking
Companies can monitor equipment, tools, and products in real time. This reduces losses and helps schedule maintenance or replacements efficiently.
Streamlined Receiving and Shipping
RFID scanning speeds up the processing of incoming and outgoing goods. This reduces errors and ensures shipments are accurate and on time.
Enhanced Data Accuracy
Automated RFID reads minimize human error compared to manual barcode scanning. This leads to better data quality for reporting and decision-making.
Comparing the EM45 and TC22R: Which One Fits Your Needs?
The EM45 is ideal for warehouse workers and field technicians who need a durable device with long battery life and extended RFID range. The TC22R suits stores associates and delivery personnel who require a lightweight, easy-to-carry device with reliable RFID scanning.
Final Thoughts on Zebra’s EM45 and TC22R RFID Handheld Computers
Zebra’s EM45 and TC22R bring reliable RFID technology to handheld computers designed for real-world challenges. Their ruggedness, ease of use, and connectivity make them valuable tools for businesses aiming to improve inventory accuracy, asset tracking, and operational efficiency.
