Zebra DS3600-KD

Ultra-rugged — the most indestructible design in its class

The DS3600-KD withstands repeated 10 ft./3 m drops at room temperature and 7,500 tumbles. Dual IP65/IP68 sealing protects it from dust, jetting water and full water immersion, while its environmental range supports indoor, outdoor and freezer use.

Scan it all — at astonishing speeds

PRZM Intelligent Imaging and a high-resolution sensor capture 1D and 2D barcodes from near contact to 7 ft./2.1 m away, including labels that are dirty, damaged, poorly printed or beneath shrinkwrap.

The first ultra-rugged scanner with a color display and keypad

A backlit 19-key keypad supports one-handed data entry, while the 2-inch color display automatically adjusts brightness for an intuitive experience in changing light.

Pre-built applications ready to use right out of the box

Five included workflows cover quantity and location entry, roaming inventory, matching container contents and image review, reducing custom development for common picking and inventory tasks.

Capture OCR, photos and documents

Workers can preview captured images, automatically de-skew and brighten documents and transfer data from supported OCR fonts.

Easily capture label data for better inventory management

Label Parse+ extracts GS1 label fields such as expiration dates, lot numbers and manufacturing locations in one scan.

Read up to 20 barcodes with one press of the scan trigger

Multi-Code Data Formatting captures multiple barcodes together and sends only the required values in the order the host application expects.

Faster pick-list processing

Preferred Symbol lets a worker select and capture one intended barcode from a pick list containing multiple codes.

Flexible feedback modes

Operations can combine vibration, wraparound LEDs, audible tones and the Direct Decode Indicator to fit noisy, bright or visually obstructed work areas.

Switch workflows in an instant with AutoConfig

Pairing the scanner with another base applies the settings stored in that cradle, allowing a device to move between workflows without manual reconfiguration.

More than 60,000 scans on a single charge

The PowerPrecision+ battery supports over 16 hours of continuous scanning and reports detailed battery health so aging packs can be identified before they interrupt a shift.

Battery and Bluetooth status at-a-glance

The color display keeps battery charge and Bluetooth connection status visible throughout the shift.

Ultra-rugged cradle and charging contacts designed to last

The IP65-sealed cradle uses industrial charging contacts rated for 250,000 insertions, while Connect+ Contact Technology is designed for reliable, corrosion-resistant charging.

Keep track of your scanners and prevent workflow interruptions

Virtual Tether alerts workers when a scanner leaves Bluetooth range or remains out of its cradle longer than a defined period.

Eliminate Bluetooth interference with Wi-Fi Friendly Mode

Wi-Fi Friendly Mode reduces the interference that Bluetooth devices can introduce into a Wi-Fi environment.

Instantly connect to your Industrial Ethernet Network

Network Connect for Automation links DS3600-KD scanners to Industrial Ethernet without third-party conversion equipment.

Identify and correct problem barcodes with ScanSpeed Analytics

ScanSpeed Analytics records detailed metrics for each decode, helping teams find poorly performing barcodes that slow work.

No-cost tools to meet your management needs

123Scan creates configuration barcodes, while Scanner Management Service can configure and update host-connected devices across multiple locations without depot staging.

Up-to-the-minute insight into every aspect of your scanners

Remote Diagnostics automates collection of asset, health, statistics, settings and barcode data for verification, troubleshooting and fleet trend analysis.
