Introduction

Today’s manufacturing, transportation and logistics operations are under pressure to deliver higher volumes at greater speeds, while struggling with unpredictable supply chains and labor pools. Fast, accurate RFID solutions can make a critical difference—now even in the most demanding environments. Zebra’s RFD90 Ultra-Rugged UHF RFID Sleds are built for harsh conditions, tested for 6-foot (1.8-meter) drops to concrete and sealed to industrial-grade dual IP65 and IP67 ratings. Both the standard-range RFD9030 Sled and long-range RFD9090 Sled provide industry-leading read rates of 1,300 tags per second, an ultra-accurate item-finder mode, a tri-function user-programmable trigger and Wi-Fi 6 capability for easy device management. Changeable eConnex™ adaptors and charging cradles support rugged Zebra mobile computers, while integrated Bluetooth® 5.3 connectivity supports third-party smartphones.

Industry-Leading Performance

With a robust read rate of 1,300 tags per second, RFD90 Sleds enable rapid inventory counts and increase workflow accuracy. The RFD9030 Sled offers a standard read range of 22 feet (6.7 meters), while the RFD9090 Sled features an extended range of 75 feet (22.9 meters). The ultra-accurate item-finder mode helps workers locate critical items quickly and easily. The tri-function user-programmable trigger offers easy access to RFID reading, barcode scanning and other features appropriate to fit the demands of your workflows. And with a 7,000 mAh battery, RFD90 Sleds keep going hour after hour.

Flexible Connectivity

RFD90 Sleds are compatible with almost any mobile device. Zebra eConnex™ adaptors allow you to mount a broad selection of rugged Zebra mobile computers, while the OtterBox uniVERSE adaptor provides support for many third-party smartphones. Integrated Bluetooth® 5.3 wireless capability connects to almost any Android™, iOS or Windows device. Device pairing is easily accomplished using NFC tap to pair, pair by camera, and Scan-To-Connect options.

Remote Management

Built-in Wi-Fi 6 allows easy over-the-air (OTA) device management even when the sled doesn’t have a mobile computer or smartphone attached. Optimize performance and support new features by deploying firmware and configuration updates without having to touch every device.

Ultra-Rugged Ergonomic Design

Zebra’s RFD90 Ultra-Rugged UHF RFID Sleds are engineered to withstand everyday use across a wide variety of harsh conditions, including manufacturing, transportation and logistics environments. These ultra-rugged sleds are dust-proof, spray-proof, water-proof and tested for drops up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) onto concrete surfaces. And superior ergonomics contribute to worker comfort and productivity by reducing strain.
