Zebra RFD8500 Bluetooth RFID Sled Reader

Zebra RFD8500 Bluetooth RFID Sled Reader

Revolutionize your operations with the RFD8500 Bluetooth RFID Sled. Easily integrate UHF RFID technology and 1D/2D barcode scanning into select Zebra and compatible third-party mobile devices, tablets, and smartphones, simply and cost-effectively.

Enjoy enterprise-class performance — employees can capture labels and barcodes faster and easier, improving productivity, operational efficiency, and customer service. It’s easy to use — employees can easily switch between RFID and barcode scanning modes with the push of a button. Flexible deployment options are available to meet the specific needs of your business.

You can permanently attach the sled to a compatible mobile device to create a dedicated inventory management device. Or you can temporarily attach it to enable RFID where you need it on your desired mobile device, bringing convenience to inventory management tasks; or you can use them as separate devices — employees can put the host mobile computer in a pocket or on a table to protect it and create a more lightweight RFID solution.

Our unique power optimization algorithm delivers superior battery cycles to ensure power throughout the shift, even under heavy use. Bluetooth® connectivity provides a real-time wireless connection to your applications.

And if a wireless connection is not available, batch mode support keeps employees productive. With our powerful Zebra Plain Text Interface (ZETI), capturing RFID tags and barcodes couldn’t be easier. ZETI allows the RFD8500 to communicate directly with the host — no need to create an actual application.

RFD8500 — Style you can admire. Comfort you can feel. Flexibility your business needs. Reliable performance. Battery life you can take for granted. And value you can appreciate.
