Made for Tough Jobs – Introducing the Zebra MC9400/MC9450

Written by Iris Huang | Feb 13, 2024

Chances are if you are here, then at some point in your professional life you have been acquainted with or used a Zebra MC9000. Manufacturing plants and warehouses all over have relied on nearly five million MC9000 Series mobile computers to ensure their processes are streamlined and accurate.

The MC9400/MC9450 – The Cooler MC9000

But that’s in the past and the need to modernize is greater than ever. New workers coming in will have vastly different technological expectations than their past counterparts. The MC9400/MC9450 is faster, loaded with the latest mobile tech, and has solutions to power a new gen of industrial applications. With less loading time, a better camera, and superior OS security support, it will enhance worker satisfaction and allow them to be more efficient, accurate, and connected.

Rugged Good Looks

Perhaps the most rugged MC9000 series created to date, the need for a different device for outdoor use is not necessary. Applicable for yards, ports and cold chain uses, the MC9400/MC9450 can withstand even the harshest outdoor environments. It can endure a 12ft/3.65m drop and with the SE58 Premium Extended Range Scan Engine, your workers also don’t have to worry about dodgy light conditions outdoors. Finally, with support for public 5G and private 5G, you can keep in touch with your team while they’re on the field. 

The Future is Here

Other features to get excited about:

  • The only device we know of in its class to have a front-facing camera, which makes conferencing, locating applications, and facial recognition all possible.
  • 6GB RAM/128 GB Flash for faster and better app performance.
  • Qualcomm® 4490 octa-core processor allows for 2.5x more power than the QC SD660 and enables new workflows with support for augmented reality and AI.
  • Pair the SE58 Premium Extended Range Scan Engine with IntelliFocus™ technology to enable top self-barcode scanning without a need for a ladder or ground-level scanning without bending.
  • Full backward compatibility with MC9300 accessories means your worker can migrate ASAP without having to retrain.
