Track Assets Easily with a Lightweight, All-Touch Handheld RFID Reader

In today’s fast-paced industries, ranging from logistics to retail and manufacturing, the need for precision, efficiency, and real-time visibility into assets has become a critical factor for success. Organizations under constant pressure to streamline operations want to cut costs and maintain agility, making it essential to adopt tools that enhance productivity and simplify complex workflows.  

The Zebra TC22R Handheld RFID reader meets these demands. With an integrated TC22 Series mobile computer, this RFID reader is built to perform reliably to give your associates what they need to increase productivity. Offering an innovative approach to asset management and operational efficiency, its lightweight design means your associates can keep track of assets and inventory for extended periods with less fatigue.

The Everyday Struggles of Modern Operations

Whether you’re managing inventory in a bustling retail store, coordinating shipments in a crowded warehouse, or tracking components on a factory floor, certain challenges are all too familiar. Labor shortages mean that teams are stretched thin, making it harder to keep up with growing demands.

At the same time, the complexity of managing data in real time, particularly when precision is non-negotiable, can bog down even the most experienced teams. Add to that the frustration of complicated devices that require extensive training or the physical toll of using clunky, heavy equipment all day, and it’s clear why businesses need lighter, more compact, and smarter solutions.

Meet the TC22R: A Smart, All-in-One Solution

The TC22R was created with these challenges in mind, redefining how businesses approach asset tracking and data capture. Imagine a tool that combines the capabilities of multiple devices into one lightweight, ergonomic package. At just 20 ounces (569 grams), the TC22R is designed for long shifts without leaving workers fatigued. Its intuitive gun-style form factor and touchscreen make it feel natural in your hands, whether you’re scanning inventory, verifying shipments, or conducting asset audits.

And it’s not just about comfort; the TC22R is a powerhouse. With the ability to read over 1,300 RFID tags per second at distances of up to 40 feet (12.2 meters), it delivers real-time visibility into asset movements with unmatched speed and accuracy. This means fewer errors, more streamlined workflows, and better decision-making on the spot.

Real-Time Connectivity for Real-World Results

One of the standout features of the TC22R is its seamless connectivity. Equipped with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC capabilities, it integrates effortlessly into your existing systems. And because it runs on an Android-based operating system, it’s compatible with mainstream mobile device management (MDM) solutions, making setup and management straightforward. No more wrestling with complicated configurations or worrying about whether your tools can “talk” to one another; the TC22R makes it simple.

Durability also makes it stand out. Whether you’re working in a dusty warehouse, a busy retail environment, or even outdoors in less-than-ideal conditions, the TC22R is built to last. It’s IP65-rated for dust and moisture resistance and can handle drops of up to five feet onto concrete, ensuring it holds up under the toughest conditions.

From Retail Floors to Factory Floors: A Device for Every Industry

The versatility of the TC22R makes it suitable for businesses across industries. In retail and hospitality, it’s a tool that makes inventory management a breeze, ensuring shelves stay stocked and customers stay happy. In transportation and logistics, it speeds up processes like inbound/outbound and loading verification, as well as inventory cycle counting, helping keep shipments on schedule.

Manufacturing teams use it to track components, products, and work-in-progress, streamlining production and reducing delays. Even in the public sector, where precision is critical for asset tracking and document management, the TC22R delivers results that organizations can count on.
