In electronics manufacturing, the tracking of every component is crucial to product quality — it ensures that the right components are in each product, prevents the use of counterfeit components and enables rapid and targeted recalls to protect customer safety.In order to keep the production line moving, you need a scanner that can capture a wide variety of barcodes printed on a wide variety of surfaces with lightning speed, every time. Introducing the Zebra DS4308-XD, the scanner that is built for your production line. Loaded with advanced scanning technology, the DS4308-XD has what it takes to capture 1D, 2D and direct marks printed on circuit boards and other components — from near contact to as far as six inches away*. You get the industry’s largest “sweet spot”, making barcode capture easier than ever. Our superior aiming technology makes accurate aim easy for the tiniest and densest barcodes. The ability to also scan standard barcodes printed on paper labels delivers outstanding value — you get a scanner that can do double duty on and off the production line. And our industry-best complimentary tools bring a new level of simplicity to staging, upgrading and troubleshooting your devices, minimizing the time and cost of everyday management.
Resets the bar for 2D imaging by improving decode performance and snappiness, dramatically improving the user experience, user productivity, throughput and wait times.
Reads very high density codes faster and closer — including codes that are a half inch or less at near contact.
Out on the manufacturing floor, the traditional beep tone can be hard to hear — that’s why we integrated haptic (vibration) feedback into the DS4308-XD. With vibration feedback, workers instantly know that they are about to utilize the right component — no re-scanning and no impact on production cycle times.
Scan 1D, 2D and PDF417 barcodes printed on plastic and metal electronic subcomponents such as PCB boards, memory chips and more. Also captures direct marks printed on nonreflective surfaces, plus barcodes in virtually any condition printed on paper labels.
With a decode range that allows users to scan any barcode type at any density nearer and farther than any other scanners in its class, scanning is truly second nature.
Enables true point-and-shoot scanning simplicity by eliminating the need to align barcode and scanner.
Built to survive a 6 ft./1.83 m drop to concrete, the DS4308-XD delivers reliable operation, despite the inevitable everyday drops.
Whether you prefer to use vibration and the beeper or just the vibration in quieter environments, with the DS4308-XD, you get the flexibility to adjust beeper volume as well as the beeper tone.
Smart auto-host detect cables automatically determine which interface is attached, eliminating the need to scan numerous configuration barcodes. Over 90 international keyboards are hosted within the scanner for easy setup, all around the world.
Crisp and bright aiming dot has the reach and brightness needed for near field scanning — as well as picklist mode.
123Scan2 and Scanner Management Service (SMS) work hand-in-hand to reduce management time and cost by automating initial configuration and enabling remote management of your DS4308 scanners.
