We are pretty excited about the new Zebra RFD40 sled. This mobile RFID reader is designed to instantly connect to current and future Zebra mobile computers to provide powerful barcode and RFID scanning from one easy-to-use device.

Here are the Top 5 reasons why the Zebra RFD40 is our new “Go-to” mobile RFID reader.

Connecting to mobile computers:  The first thing that we noticed with the RFD40 is the form, fit and function of the device. The way that it connects with the Zebra TC21, or TC26, mobile computers is impressive. The mobile computers snap-into the RFD40 sled to make a solid and positive connection. No need for messing around with bluetooth pairing and no additional buttons required. The Zebra eConnex technology is fantastic, very simple to use and much improved over other similar devices.

Integrated Barcode reading: The ability to have a barcode reader with the TC26 or TC21 integrated into the RFD40 system is powerful. It simply makes sense to have one handheld device that can scan both barcodes and RFID quickly and easily. Combining the two data capture devices into one unit also provides significant savings.

Fast RFID Scans: The RFD40 reads RFID tags at an incredible 1,300 tags per second — making it the fastest mobile RFID reader in the industry.

Dual Trigger:  We really like how easy it is to go between scanning a barcode and reading RFID tags. Instead of toggling between modes and screens on the mobile computer the Zebra RFD40 provides a dual trigger solution (the top trigger for barcode and the bottom trigger for RFID). This Dual trigger functionality makes the RFD40 incredibly efficient and  easy to use.

A2B Tracking Certified:  The A2B Tracker App has been certified for use on the Zebra TC21, TC26 and RFD40 unit enabling powerful RFID tracking capabilities.

Other RFD40 Features

The RFD40 UHF sled provides a powerful mobile RFID solution that can easily scan barcode or RFID tags to perform inventories, put-aways and assignments.  

Other features include an optimized read range of 20 feet or more. The 7,000 mAh Li-Ion battery provides ample power with a quick release function that allows access without removing the mobile computer to keep your team going hour after hour. It’s lightweight, even with the battery at 19.1oz. And with an IP54 rating and a 5-foot drop to concrete specification the Zebra RFD40 provides real world durability to meet the demanding needs of your workplace.
