Features and Benefits

Title
True All-in-One Wearable Computing
Text Description
Unlike traditional wearable solutions that require a separate host mobile computer and scanner, the WS501 combines computing, scanning, communications, and connectivity into a single device. Workers carry less equipment while maintaining full access to critical applications and data.
Title
Powerful Android Platform with Expanded Memory
Text Description
A high-performance processor combined with significantly increased RAM and Flash memory enables the WS501 to run multiple applications simultaneously. Workers experience fast screen response, smooth application performance, and reliable operation throughout demanding shifts.
Title
Advanced Enterprise Barcode Scanning
Text Description
The integrated Zebra SE4770 scan engine captures virtually any 1D or 2D barcode, including damaged, poorly printed, or low-quality labels. Superior motion tolerance allows workers to scan quickly while moving, improving productivity and reducing errors.
