Zebra Technologies has announced the EC5x series, a new category of individually assigned mobile computers designed to keep workers connected and informed while improving individual productivity, collaboration and the customer experience across multiple industries.

The mobile computers feature the look and feel of a consumer smartphone with the Android10 operating system (OS), an optional integrated scanner and a robust software suite specifically designed for front-line workers.

The EC5x series can be used in the retail, hospitality, field sales, courier, government and ancillary healthcare markets to optimise a wide range of front-line workflows including assisted selling, mobile point of sale (MPOS), inventory and task management, concierge service, direct store delivery (DSD), patient transport, staff collaboration and housekeeping.

Featuring a large five-inch HD screen, the reliable EC5x series gives workers the same familiar look and feel of a consumer smartphone while adding enterprise-grade scanning, enhanced WiFi capabilities and Zebra’s Mobility DNA suite of security features, development tools, and mobile end-user applications to optimize workflows at the edge of business.

The EC5x can scan almost any barcode in any condition and its 13-megapixel color rear camera can capture highly detailed photos to document proof of delivery or compliance. In addition, the EC5x’s standard battery can power more than a full shift.

The EC5x series also supports Device Tracker, an enhanced Mobility DNA solution, that allows companies to track and find a misplaced device even when it is turned off. With the new EC5x series, Zebra is introducing a new category of individually assigned enterprise mobile computers featuring a sleek, lightweight form factor, durability and business-class features that will help mobile workers drive increased personal productivity and greater collaboration.
