New Q2’26 Product Releases:
As we move into Q2’26, Zebra Technologies has announced several new product offerings, including the highly anticipated release of the new, next generation DS8200HC scanner series has occurred. The DS8200HC Healthcare Scanner has been totally reimagined and takes a giant step forward against the spread of germs, disease, and other infectious materials with their improved healthcare-grade housing design. A few key product features include Zebra’s new sealed inductive trigger. The non-movable inductive trigger eliminates the crevasses that could hide germs and other infectious materials. Another great feature is wireless charging that eliminates recharging contacts on the scanners and their cradles. To see all the new features of the DS8200HC scanners, click here.
Another DS8200 scanner series announcement includes the DS82XX-R scanners. Select Zebra DS8200 scanners will now include RFID reading support too! Now, users will be able to easily read & capture barcode and RFID tag data, including RFID labels, badges, hang tags, etc. using the same device. To see more on the DS82XX-R scanners, click here.
