TC53 & TC58 Barcode Scanning
The TC53 and TC58 are designed as professional data-capture devices rather than consumer smartphones with barcode apps.
Depending on the exact MPN, different integrated Zebra scanning options can be available. This means it is important to choose the configuration around the actual scanning requirement.
Standard-Range Scanning
Best for everyday barcode capture.
Choose a standard-range configuration where employees normally scan products, parcels, cartons, assets or labels within normal handheld scanning distance.
Typical applications: retail, stock checking, goods receiving, manufacturing and general inventory.
Advanced-Range Scanning
Best where scanning distance varies.
Advanced-range configurations are useful where workers may need to scan an item close to the device and then capture a barcode positioned further away.
Typical applications: warehousing, shelving, logistics and scan-intensive inventory operations.
Always check the complete Zebra MPN. Two products described simply as “Zebra TC53” or “Zebra TC58” can contain different scan engines, memory, wireless and other factory options.
Zebra TC53 for Warehousing & Inventory
The Wi-Fi TC53 is particularly well suited to sites where employees remain within managed wireless coverage throughout the working day.
Goods Receiving
Scan incoming products, cartons and shipments while accessing receiving applications.
Inventory
Capture product and location barcodes while checking or updating stock information.
Picking
Combine Android warehouse applications with integrated barcode scanning for order fulfilment.
Packing & Dispatch
Capture order, carton and shipment information during packing and dispatch processes.
Zebra TC58 for Field & Mobile Workforces
The TC58 adds 5G WWAN connectivity to the platform, making it better suited to workers who move beyond the organisation's Wi-Fi network.
Transport & Logistics
Maintain access to mobile applications while workers move between depots, customers and delivery locations.
Proof of Delivery
Combine barcode capture, touchscreen applications, cameras and cellular connectivity in one handheld.
Field Service
Give technicians access to business systems and mobile data while working away from company premises.
Yard Operations
Cellular connectivity can provide another option where reliable enterprise Wi-Fi coverage doesn't extend across the whole site.
6-Inch Full HD Enterprise Display
The large display is one of the key differences between the TC53/TC58 generation and older enterprise handhelds.
