CipherLab 8400

Light Industrial Mobile Computer

Improve productivity

The 8400 enables smarter decisions and enhanced business agility by taking powerful data applications directly to the point of work. You'll reap the benefits in warehousing stock control, picking and order processing, manufacturing goods control, retail in-store, DSD, and field sales force automation.

Streamline complication

Accelerate warehousing and data management tasks all shift long with the 8400. Intelligent design makes it easy to view information, quickly enter data, and communicate wirelessly to peripherals and servers. It's quick to deploy, rugged, and reliable, delivering low TCO (total cost of ownership) throughout its long life. No matter how you measure, the 8400 series is smarter—for the worker, IT, and the business.

Power Suite maximizes your abilities

Cipherlab's Power Suite helps you create custom configurations and mobile applications, quickly and efficiently. FORGE application generators custom-build an application that's perfect for your situation. MIRROR terminal emulators combine the complexity of mainframe applications with mobile versatility. BLAZE compliers turn C or Basic Code into efficient applications.

When a proprietary OS is ideal

The smartest business outcomes match function to the task at hand. Warehousing and manufacturing applications don't benefit from color pictures for efficient workflows— instead, they need the 8400's computing power, flexibility, and features. Without an elaborate operating overhead, the 8400 puts a lighter load on the processor, giving maximum work time between battery charges. And, because it won't need frequent system and security updates, the 8400 series needs less maintenance for lower TCO and higher ROI (return on investment).

Terminal Emulation Extends Mainframe Applications

In today's technology-evolving environment, mobilizing applications running on existing mainframe systems is the smart, low-cost to catch operation efficiencies up to date. A purposely designed, rugged mobile computer, the 8400 with terminal emulation programs mobilizes a warehousing workforce and extends applications from a workstation to the point of work.

The 8400 is able to emulate terminals VT100. VT220, and TN5250. A bigger, brighter display, function-specific alphanumeric keys and extended battery life bring the power of terminal emulation to the work floor anytime you wish to do so.

Powerful, mobile terminal emulation with data capture and wireless capabilities for efficient warehousing operations

From small to massive operations, when mobile workers use more effective tools, they accomplish more accurate work, faster.

The 8400 offers a choice of linear imager, laser, or 2D imager to give you the right reader for your situation. With 4MB or 16MB onboard storage, the 8400 features one MicroSD slot with SDHC support.

The largest-in-class backlit, 2.6-inch, 160×160 pixel display makes work easy, even in dark corners. A 39-key keypad with 20 function keys or a 29-key keypad with 8 function keys allows you to match the format to your needs. You quickly see why the 8400 series is the best choice for warehousing operations.

Nothing stops work faster than no data access or loss of power. That’s why we designed the 8400 series with wireless communications and advanced power efficiency. Both Bluetooth® and wireless LAN 802.11 b/g allow easy access to peripherals and data without restrictive cables. Wireless LAN connectivity stays safe with multiple built-in security protocols. And the 8400 series delivers 35 hours of wireless terminal operation (over 100 hours for batch only) to get through the shift with power to spare.

Bumps, drops, cold, heat, water, humidity, and constant use: all enemies of electronics. We designed the 8400 series to work in the most difficult environments. It’ s built to demanding IP54 standards and easily survives 1.5 m impact and 1 m tumble testing.
