Rugged Design for Tough Environments

Engineered for durability, the Zebra DS3678-ER features a tough design that can endure drops from up to 2.4 meters (8 feet) onto concrete, making it perfect for high-risk environments like warehouses and factories. Its IP67-rated sealing ensures complete protection against dust and water, allowing it to function reliably in environments where moisture or dust is a concern.

Extended Range Scanning for Improved Efficiency

The Zebra DS3678-ER3U42A2SVW comes with extended range scanning capabilities, enabling it to read barcodes at a much longer distance compared to standard scanners. It can easily scan barcodes from as close as 3.7 cm (1.5 inches) to as far as 21.3 meters (70 feet), making it ideal for use in large warehouses where barcodes on high shelves need to be scanned from a distance. The ability to capture both short-range and long-range barcodes in a single pass boosts operational efficiency and reduces the need for manual retrieval of items.

Superior Performance and Flexibility

The Zebra DS3678-ER is equipped with advanced scanning technology that can capture barcodes in virtually any condition, including damaged or poorly printed barcodes. Its high-performance scanning engine allows for quick data capture in a variety of conditions, including low light, direct sunlight, and reflective surfaces. This makes the scanner ideal for environments like shipping and receiving docks, inventory management, and order picking, where efficiency is critical.

Seamless Connectivity and Integration

Designed for ease of use, the Zebra DS3678-ER3U42A2SVW offers multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth and USB, ensuring it can easily integrate into your existing infrastructure. The Bluetooth version enables wireless operation with a range of up to 100 meters (328 feet), providing flexibility in large-scale environments.
