Zebra WS50 Mobile Computer Model Overview
Connect disconnected task workers with Zebra’s WS50 — the world’s smallest all-in-one Android enterprise-class wearable mobile computer. It’s rugged, modular and at home everywhere — from manufacturing and warehousing to retail and hospitality. The WS50 is a versatile computing core with a modular design that lets the worker choose the mount that’s right for the job: wrist, back of hand or two-finger. It’s small but mighty, packed with powerful business class voice and data capture features that drive productivity and accuracy into every task
Key Features:
- True ‘no-host’ one-piece wearable: With the all-in-one WS50, workers only need to wear one device to capture and access data instead of a host mobile computer and ring scanner, providing a true converged wearable solution. And push-to talk (PTT)support eliminates the need for separate voice devices.
- Modular mounting options: With three different wearing styles, the adaptable WS50 is ideal for virtually any task worker in practically any industry. The WS50 can be worn on a wrist, two fingers or the back of the hand.
- Advanced enterprise-class scanner for intense barcode scanning: The converged two-finger-and back-of-hand mount WS50 models include Zebra’s SE4770 imager, delivering superior data capture performance. Scan virtually any barcode in practically any condition, as fast as you can press the trigger — even if they are damaged.
- Better connect your workforce with push-to-talk (PTT) and task management applications: All models are PTT ready, enabling managers and workers to instantly collaborate for faster issue resolution and increased staff productivity. All models also support task-management applications, enabling better staff utilization and management.
Every task worker without mobile access to relevant information and the rest of your workforce is forced to take more steps and more time to complete tasks, eroding operational efficiency. Now, connecting your disconnected workers is easy with Zebra’s WS50— the world’s smallest Android enterprise-class wearable mobile computer. It’s rugged, modular and at home everywhere—from manufacturing and warehousing to retail and hospitality. It’s versatile—this flexible computing core is modular, allowing you to choose the mount that’s right for the job: wrist, packed with powerful business class voice and data features that drive productivity and accuracy into every task. It’s lightweight and ergonomic, comfortable and never in the way. And with no host device required, it’s the first of its kind, offering powerful data capture with single device simplicity.
True ‘no-host’ one-piece wearable
With the all-in-one WS50, providing a true converged wearable solution. And push-totalk (PTT) support eliminates the need for separate voice devices.
Wear it your way with modular mounting options
With three different wearing styles, two fingers or the back of the hand.
Better connect your workforce with push-to-talk (PTT) and task management applications
All models are PTT ready, enabling better staff utilization and management.
High-resolution camera for light barcode scanning and photo capture
A 13 MP camera in the wrist-mounted model supports occasional barcode scanning and can capture detailed photos to document proof of condition and more.
Advanced enterprise-class scanner for intense barcode scanning
The converged two-finger-and back-of-hand mount WS50 models include Zebra’s SE4770 imager, as fast as you can press the trigger—even if they are damaged or poorly printed. Superior motion tolerance enables the capture of barcodes, even if scanner and barcode are in motion. No need to depress the trigger for every scan—scan continuously with an optional integrated proximity sensor. A wide field of view makes it easy to capture large or multiple barcodes with split-second pointand-shoot simplicity. With a single trigger press, capture, properly format and transmit data on all barcodes on a label with Zebra’s Multi-Code Data Formatting.
Simplify backroom device and battery management—and purchasing—with modular accessories
Choose the charging solution that matches your deployment and device management needs—2- or 10-slot charge-only cradles; 4- or 20-slot battery chargers, or an Ethernet cradle that supports five devices and five batteries. In mixed model deployments, colorcoding allows you to instantly see whether a cradle or charger is for the two-finger and back-of-hand mount converged models—or the wrist-mount models.
The power of Android
This industry-standard mobile operating system provides a future proof platform designed to easily accommodate new features.
Integrated audio features
Give users the power of instant voice communications with the embedded speaker and microphone. Wirelessly connect a Bluetooth® headset, eliminating cords and enabling more private communications. And you can dedicate a button for PTT communications.
Powerful, centralized management for all models
The WS50 supports major Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) systems, providing a single pane of glass to manage all of your mobile devices.
All the wireless connections you need
Wi-Fi™, Bluetooth and NFC are all standard in the WS50, enabling robust Wi-Fi ‘won’t fail’ connections and easy one-tap connections to Bluetooth peripherals.
Full-shift perpetual power
With removable, hot-swappable batteries, devices can remain in service every minute of every shift. An 800mAh battery powers the wrist mount model, while a 1300mAh battery powers the ring-style and back-of-hand models. With fast charging, batteries are ready to go in less than three hours. And with hot swap support, users can just swap batteries and keep on working—no need to power down.
Automate workflows with programmable buttons
Make task execution even easier on the two-inch screen with programmable buttons that can be mapped to different functions, such as PTT, navigation, scanning, photo capture and more.
Small but mighty with a built-in rugged design
Don’t underestimate these small devices. They weigh in at just a handful of ounces, but are built to handle all-day everyday enterprise use. Extreme heat and cold, bumps and drops—the WS50 handles it all. The wrist mount model operates reliably after multiple 4 ft./1.2 m drops and 1,000 consecutive tumbles. The more rugged ring-style and back-of-hand models operate reliably after multiple 6 ft./1.8 m drops and 2,000 consecutive tumbles. With IP65 sealing, all models are dust-tight and survive jetting water. And the protective front shell is replaceable, keeping your devices looking like new.
Advanced touchscreen display
The two-inch AMOLED color display offers exceptional performance. It is extraordinarily bright—no backlight is required. Better contrast and better viewing angles deliver superior readability. And low power consumption extends battery run time.
Easier integration into your environment
The Enterprise Mobility Development Kit (EMDK) makes it easy to take full advantage of all device features. And DataWedge easily captures, properly formats and transmits data in the right order to the right applications—without coding or modifying existing apps.
Increase device and data security
Mobility Extensions (Mx) adds extra layers of features that are crucial to protecting your devices, their resident data and network access. LifeGuardTM for Android provides a lifetime security guard for Android, protecting your devices every day they are in service. And Enterprise Home Screen allows you to specify the apps and device features users can access, protecting productivity and increasing device and network security
Simplify deployment and management
Stage thousands of devices with a scan of a barcode or a tap of an NFC tag. Test major device systems to eliminate unnecessary trips to the Service Center with the on-device Device Diagnostics Tool. And easily integrate all Zebra APIs via your EMM with OEM Config.
Optimize your Wi-Fi network
Mobility DNAâ„¢ Wireless Fusion provides a dependable and superior Wi-Fi experience with Zebra-only features that keep workers connected and productive while roaming your facility.
