Frequently Asked Questions about Zebra in the Agricultural Sector
Do you have specific questions about using Zebra technology in the agricultural sector? Below are answers to the most common questions about durability, connectivity, and proactive device management. Don’t see your question? Our specialists are ready to provide tailored advice.
Which Zebra devices are best suited for use in humid greenhouses or in the field?
For the agricultural sector, we recommend devices with a minimum IP65 or IP67 rating. Models such as the Zebra TC73/TC78 handhelds and the Zebra ET60/ET65 tablets are fully dust- and water-resistant and built to withstand extreme temperatures and humidity without compromising performance.
How does Reverse IT ensure the security of mobile data?
Through Mobile Device Management (MDM), we maintain a continuously secure environment. Updates and security patches are pushed centrally, even to devices in remote locations, ensuring that your business and traceability data are always protected from external threats.
Can Zebra scanners read barcodes on damaged or wet labels?
Yes. Zebra’s advanced scanning technology in the DS3600 series and the latest handhelds is specifically designed to read low-quality, wet, or dirty barcodes immediately. This is essential for error-free batch tracking and registration during harvests or in dusty processing areas.
What is the advantage of working with a Zebra Premier Partner for agricultural businesses?
As a Premier Business Partner, Reverse IT not only offers the most competitive hardware pricing but also provides direct access to technical expertise and fast repair turnaround. We act as your MSP partner, combining hardware with full staging and management, completely relieving your IT department.
Is it possible to trade in old hardware when purchasing new Zebra devices?
Absolutely. Through our trade-in program, agricultural businesses can return outdated equipment (such as older PDAs or tablets) for a fair residual value. This significantly reduces the investment in the new generation of Wi-Fi 6E or 5G devices and supports a sustainable, circular IT strategy.
