DS3608-DPA/DS3678-DPA Ultra-Rugged Scanner
UNSTOPPABLE PERFORMANCE FOR DIRECT PART MARKS DPM,
1D/2D AND WIDE 1D BARCODES IN INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING
Whether you are involved in automotive, aerospace, farm and fleet or other industrial manufacturing, you rely on track and trace applications
to provide better control over product quality, protect consumer safety and ensure regulatory compliance. Zebra’s corded DS3608-DPA
and cordless DS3678-DPA are designed to help industrial manufacturers meet these track and trace requirements, without jeopardizing
“on time every time” delivery goals. With a single scanner, workers can capture virtually any direct part mark, as well as 1D/2D and wide
1D barcodes for superior versatility. The ultra-rugged design is practically indestructible — ideal for punishing environments. The scanners
offer unparalleled ease of management, and with Zebra’s EA3600 Network Connect for Automation, the DS3608-DPA and DS3678-DPA
connect to your Industrial Ethernet network without third party conversion equipment. The DS3608-DPA/DS3678-DPA — the unstoppable
performance you need to maximize workforce productivity, ensure traceability, reduce production cycle times and prevent unplanned
production line downtime.
Capture it all — from direct part marks to
1D/2D and wide 1D paper barcodes
The DS3608-DPA/DS3678-DPA can capture virtually every type
of direct part mark (DPM) including laser etch, ink mark, chemical
etch, inkjet mold, cast, thermal spray and dot peen. In addition,
the same scanner can capture barcodes printed on labels in
virtually any condition — including damaged, dirty, poorly printed
or under shrinkwrap — as well as 4-inch wide 1D barcodes found
on picklists, carton labels and packages. This dual functionality
provides excellent value: you can use the same scanner on the
production line for end-to-end track and trace as well as
throughout the plant floor and warehouse.
Ultra-rugged — the most indestructible design in its class
The DS3608-DPA/DS3678-DPA is our most rugged scanner yet,
with the highest drop, tumble and sealing specification in its class.
The DS3608-DPA/DS3678-DPA 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 scanners operate 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 be
submersed in water.
Advanced illumination system
Advanced illumination provides the multiple lighting eects
required to capture marks on any type of surface — including
reflective, irregular and curves as well as low and high contrast
marks. The built-in diuser provides the indirect light required to
capture marks printed on very shiny and reflective surfaces. The
proprietary design of the diuser also directs additional lighting to
the edges of barcodes marked on a curved surface, enhancing
the image for easier decoding. Finally, a glancing direct light
mode provides the bright light required to successfully read low
contrast barcodes marked on any type of surface, including
challenging polished materials.
Easy management with 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).
Connect to your Industrial Ethernet network without
third-party converter boxes
Zebra’s Network Connect for Automation delivers a seamless
connection between DS3608-DPA/DS3678-DPA scanners and
a manufacturer’s Industrial Ethernet network without the need
for third party conversion equipment. The solution supports a
wide range of programmable logic controller (PLC) vendors,
including support for EtherNet/IP for Rockwell Automation,
PROFINET for Siemens, as well Modbus TCP and standard TCP/
IP. By streamlining the connection between scanners and the
PLC, Network Connect eliminates vulnerability points, improves
security and reduces complexity.
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 eciency.
Our Zebra Wi-Fi Friendly Mode eliminates the wireless
interference that Bluetooth devices can create in your
Wi-Fi environment.
