Bluebird EK430 Handheld Computer - Rugged Keypad Performance, Reliable Connectivity, and Enterprise Accuracy for Growing Businesses
The Bluebird EK430 delivers dependable, keypad-driven performance for small to mid-sized warehouses, manufacturers, and field service teams that need fast, consistent data entry in demanding environments. With its refreshed hardware, high-visibility keypad layouts, and enterprise-ready connectivity, the EK430 brings durability, accuracy, and long-term reliability to barcode workflows that still depend on tactile input.
Rugged Keypad Design for Heavy Industrial Use
Purpose-built for high-volume data entry, the EK430 features a rugged IP65-rated design, durable keycaps, and an ergonomic grip that allows workers to enter data quickly even when wearing gloves or operating in harsh warehouse environments. Its sturdy construction ensures reliable performance through drops, vibration, and daily industrial use.
Enterprise Wireless Connectivity
With Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth®, and optional WWAN depending on configuration, the EK430 provides stable, enterprise-grade connectivity across warehouse aisles, production floors, and loading docks. Integrated NFC, GPS/GNSS (on WWAN models), and seamless roaming capabilities ensure continuous access to real-time information and WMS applications.
Fast Processing and Long-Term Android Support
Built on an efficient Android platform with Bluebird’s enhanced BOS™ enterprise tools, the EK430 enables smooth operation of barcode scanning, inventory applications, terminal emulation, and ERP/WMS interfaces. BOS™ tools such as provisioning, staging, EMM, Wi-Fine™, VoIP/PTT, and kiosk mode help businesses streamline deployment, enforce security, and centrally manage devices at any scale.
High-Performance Data Capture
The EK430 supports 1D and 2D scanning with enterprise-class imaging engines designed to read barcodes in challenging warehouse conditions — including damaged labels, shrink-wrapped pallets, or low-light environments. This level of scanning accuracy improves pick rates, reduces errors, and keeps workflows moving smoothly across receiving, put-away, and shipping operations.
Built for Multi-Shift Productivity
Designed to stay in service through long shifts, the EK430 supports high-capacity hot-swappable batteries, enabling uninterrupted operation throughout the workday. Accessory options such as charging cradles, pistol grips, and holsters help optimize workflows and reduce fatigue for scan-intensive tasks.
