Honeywell Intermec CK3A – Rugged Handheld Mobile Computer (EX-DEMO)

The Honeywell Intermec CK3A is a proven, keypad-driven handheld designed for dependable barcode capture and smooth telnet/WMS workflows in warehouses, distribution centers, retail backrooms, and light manufacturing. It pairs a balanced, pistol-grip–ready form factor with a 3.5″ transflective touch display and near/far imaging options, so teams can scan quickly from shelf to pallet rack without relying on fragile consumer devices.

This product is supplied EX-DEMO only. EX-DEMO units have seen brief demonstration use; most arrive in clean generic boxes (some in original packaging) and typically include standard accessories and cables. Front/back plastics and digitizers are refreshed with new parts. EX-DEMO devices include a default 6-month warranty that can be extended to 3 years at a small additional cost—an efficient way to expand or sustain legacy fleets while reducing spend and e-waste.

Key Benefits Of The Honeywell Intermec CK3A

Built for the harshest environments

A sealed, drop-tolerant chassis and tumble-tested construction deliver reliable operation around dust, moisture, vibration, and temperature swings. Staff keep scanning through the shift without device-related interruptions.

Big screen, better workflows

The 3.5″ transflective display remains readable under bright lights and near open doors. Physical keys plus touch streamline telnet/WMS screens, pick lists, and shortcuts—ideal with gloves and when speed matters more than on-screen typing.

Power that lasts the whole day

Standard and high-capacity battery choices cover long routes and overtime. Supercap-assisted warm swaps help preserve session state, while shared chargers and battery analytics simplify fleet power planning.

Seamless connectivity and data flow

Enterprise Wi-Fi with roaming maintains TE or browser sessions across aisles and yards, while Bluetooth pairs quickly with headsets, printers, and ring scanners—keeping hands free and data flowing.

Ready for fleets

A stable Windows Embedded Handheld platform, long-lived spares, and FlexDock accessories make the Honeywell Intermec CK3A ideal for extending legacy applications. IT can stage, lock down, and support devices at scale using established MDM and TE stacks.
