Unstoppable Performance for Extended-Range 1D/2D Barcode Capture

As a member of the Zebra 3600 Ultra-Rugged Series of scanners, the practically indestructible 1D/2D Zebra Zebra DS3678-ER cordless scanners are ready for one of the world’s toughest environments — the warehouse. Designed to capture any 1D or 2D barcode from near contact to as far as 70 ft./ 21.4 m away, these scanners provide the ultimate in versatility — workers can capture large pick-list codes and small codes at near contact as easily as barcodes on pallets and location codes on the top of your warehouse racks. And truly unstoppable performance helps you drive throughput, accuracy and customer service to a new level.

Superior scanning range

The advanced imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes printed on a label up to 60 percent closer and 35 percent farther than similar models in this class, with an extraordinary scanning range from 3 in. to 70 ft. (7.6 cm to 21.4 m). Now, one scanner can easily read barcodes on a pick-list in hand and on the uppermost shelves of your warehouse racks, as well as extra-wide codes just a hands-length away — even if they are under shrink-wrap, damaged, dirty or poorly printed. The result  — Workers can capture barcodes as fast as they can pull the trigger for first-time every time scanning — and extraordinary productivity

A Bluetooth model in a class of its own for superior cordless freedom

Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy) provides lightning fast wireless communication and maximum energy efficiency. Our Zebra Wi-Fi Friendly Mode eliminates the wireless interference that Bluetooth devices can create in your Wi-Fi environment. The ‘go anywhere’ rugged cradle offers superior versatility and durability. The Zebra DS3678-ER is the only scanner in its family to offer a cradle with IP65 sealing. And its industrial charging contacts withstand 250,000 insertions. The first-in-its-class battery ‘charge gauge’ and Bluetooth status LED make it easy to monitor battery power as well as Bluetooth connectivity.The PowerPrecision+ battery delivers the ultimate in battery power and management. You get more than nine times the amount of scans per charge than with competitive models in this product class — more than 70,000 scans per charge, so workers can scan more items over a longer period of time. You also get visibility into a wealth of battery health-related data, including charge cycles consumed, current battery status and a State of Health meter, which identifies if batteries are healthy and holding a full charge or ready for retirement.

Ultra-rugged — the most indestructible design in its class

The Zebra DS3678-ER is our most rugged scanner yet, with the highest drop, tumble and sealing specification in its class. The DS3608-ER/DS3678-ER is built to survive an 8 ft./2.4 m drop to concrete — 23 percent more durable than any other scanner in this class. The Zebra DS3678-ER operates reliably after 5,000 tumbles, simulating the real-world tumbling that occurs with a drop. Both models are dust proof, spray proof and waterproof to IP67 — they can be sprayed down with jetting water and even submersed in water.

Easy management with our complimentary industry-best tools

Remotely configure scanners, upgrade firmware, format data properly for your back end and monitor PowerPrecision+ battery statistics and more with 123Scan and Scanner Management Service (SMS). Multi-code captures and processes up to 20 barcodes simultaneously. Many labels have multiple barcodes your workers need to capture. Now, one press of the trigger captures the right barcodes and applies the unique data format required for each one for instant transmission to your back-end systems — all with complete control over the order barcodes are processed.Faster pick-list processing. Users can easily select and capture an individual barcode from any pick-list.

Ready for the freezer

The Zebra DS3678-ER are built from the ground up to handle extreme cold. Their unique plastics, cables and components are designed to handle freezing temperatures without becoming brittle — making these scanners ideal for use in freezers and outdoor yards.

Support for the Barcode of the Future — Digimarc®

Zebra DS3678-ER scanners support Digimarc digital watermark technology, where barcodes are printed repeatedly over all surfaces yet are invisible to workers and consumers. Digimarc saves time at checkout and also creates efficiencies throughout the supply chain since workers no longer need to locate and position a visible barcode in the field of view.

Three flexible feedback modes

Mix and match the feedback modes that are ideal in your environment — vibration, red and green LEDs located in an area where they are always easy to see, plus the traditional loud beep tone.

Instantly connect to your Industrial Ethernet network

Zebra’s Network Connect for Automation delivers a seamless connection between Zebra DS3678-ER scanners and a manufacturer’s Industrial Ethernet network without the need for third party conversion equipment. The solution eliminates vulnerability points, improves security, reduces complexity and is compatible with every Zebra 3600 Series scanner.
