Exceptional Inventory Speed and Accuracy
The IH40 enables high-speed RFID tag reading for fast, efficient inventory capture. Compared to traditional barcode workflows, retailers and logistics teams can count stock up to 25 times faster, enabling more frequent stock updates and reducing inventory errors.
Tag Finder Mode for Pinpoint Accuracy
With built-in Tag Finder functionality, workers can accurately locate specific items within a warehouse, store, or delivery dock. This feature supports exception handling, improves pick accuracy, and reduces the time needed to process incoming shipments or locate misplaced goods.
Ergonomic and Balanced Design
Engineered for all-day use, the IH40’s lightweight, balanced construction (433 g without a mobile computer) reduces user fatigue and improves handling. It’s also designed to be paired seamlessly with Honeywell mobile devices, maintaining compactness and comfort throughout the shift.
Flexible Charging and Connectivity
Charging is made simple and flexible. The IH40 supports simultaneous charging of the reader and attached mobile computer via a single dock. It’s compatible with Honeywell’s CT40, CT60, EDA51, and other models, with additional USB connectivity and spare battery charging supported by standard EDA51 battery cradles.
Rugged for Real-World Use
With IP54 sealing, the IH40 withstands dust, water splashes, and 1.2 m drops to concrete. It operates from -10°C to 40°C and endures 1,000 tumbles in standard durability tests, ensuring reliable performance in demanding retail and warehouse settings.
Advanced Battery Design
Powered by a removable 4,000 mAh lithium-polymer battery, the IH40 ensures long-lasting performance. Battery swaps are quick and tool-free, without removing the mobile computer, reducing downtime and improving operational uptime.
Integrated Barcode Scanning Capability
The IH40 reads RFID tags and integrates 1D/2D barcode scanning, giving users a complete data capture solution in one handheld device. This supports diverse workflows across industries that require dual scanning functionality.
