Symbol PDT6800 Industrial Mobile Computer

Streamline your supply chain with accurate data capture
In scan-intensive environments, your employees need accurate and easy-to-use handheld computers. The forward-scanning, pistol grip design of the Symbol PDT6800 industrial mobile computer gives employees a powerful data capture tool to increase task speed and accuracy. Ideal for retail, warehousing and manufacturing applications, the DOS-based Symbol PDT6800 helps your employees perform inventory counts, pricing audits and other time-sensitive data capture tasks with greater speed and precision. Optional wireless networking capabilities support real-time data exchange. The Symbol PDT6800 delivers accurate, high-volume performance when your employees need to efficiently manage your supply chain — in the retail aisle, in the warehouse or on the shop floor.

Rugged Terminals for Scan-Intensive Applications
The Symbol PDT6800 Series of rugged, portable data terminals combine mobile computing, integrated bar code data capture and optional wireless communications in a lightweight, ergonomic device. Symbol PDT6800 terminals are ideal for data management activities and increase accuracy anywhere along the supply chain. The comfortable, "forward-scanning" design enhances productivity for scan-intensive applications in retail such as inventory management, replenishment and price management. Yet Symbol PDT6800 terminals are also tough enough for applications in harsh environments such as manufacturing, warehousing and distribution.

Symbol PDT6800 terminals are environmentally sealed against severe weather conditions, including dust and rain. They are rugged enough to withstand multiple 4 ft./1.2 m drops to concrete-across the entire operating temperature range; a rubber "boot" enhances product durability.

Flexible Computing at the Point of Activity
This flexible productivity tool offers features such as standard, long-range, high-visibility, or two-dimensional scanning options and a 35- or 46-key alphanumeric keypad. Additionally, the Symbol PDT6800 is available with wireless local area network (WLAN) connectivity for real-time, high-performance data transfer or extended memory for batch communications with your PC— you choose the right communications capabilities to meet your needs.

Whether users are performing inventory counts, shelf price audits, receiving, stock transfers or markdowns, the improved display is sharper and easier to read --even in full sunlight or in high-intensity, artificial light—for increased productivity. Add WLAN connectivity together with a premium performance scanner and you have a rugged decision support tool for real-time data management. Connect a portable printer and generate bar codes for price markdowns or shelf label changes at the point of activity. What's more, the Symbol PDT6800 is equipped with a large-capacity battery to ensure ample power for full shift use.

Symbol PDT6800 Business Challenges and Solutions

Your workers need to scan bar codes at high volume with a high degree of accuracy for long periods of time in shelving and bin environments.
The forward-facing PDT6800 pistol grip enables workers to scan over long periods with less fatigue and greater accuracy.

Your supply chain workers need to quickly and efficiently scan data from multiple data sources to support smart supply chain decisions.
The PDT6800 is designed to capture both one-dimensional (1D) bar codes and 2D images with a single device, making more efficient use of employees’ time and saving money on mobile devices.

Existing DOS applications continue to provide value in your supply chain operations, yet you need the performance enhancements of newer device technologies.
The PDT6800 uses the latest advances in processing and networking performance, yet it runs on the DOS operating system, extending your investments in DOS technology and applications and reducing your IT operating costs.

Troubleshooting and repairing mobile devices is not an effective use of your limited IT staff time.
Extremely durable and capable of continuous operation in harsh conditions, the PDT6800’s impact-tolerant design and IP54-rated seal protection ensure reliable operation and long life.
