The key question is usually keypad or touch? The CK62 fits if your staff enter many quantities and bin locations, scan over long distances and work long shifts without changing batteries. The CT32 is lighter, has the larger display and suits apps built for touch operation, for example in retail or delivery. When moving from keypad to touch, we check with you whether your screens need to be adapted. To the Brady CT series

Frequently asked questions
Alphanumeric or numeric keypad?
The 38-key numeric keypad suits work where mainly quantities, bin locations and confirmations are entered. The 47-key alphanumeric keypad makes sense if your staff regularly type letters, for example batches, serial numbers or comments.
Is the CK62 suitable for chilled and freezer areas?
According to the spec sheet, the CK62 operates from -20 °C to 50 °C. The spec sheet does not mention a dedicated freezer variant. For areas below -20 °C or frequent changes between cold and warm, we are happy to advise you on suitable devices and accessories.
How long does the battery last?
According to the manufacturer, the CK62 runs for more than 28 hours on the 7,000 mAh battery, depending on use. A full charge takes about 3.5 hours. With hot swap, you change the battery during operation.
How long will the CK62 receive Android updates?
The CK62 ships with Android 14 and, according to the spec sheet, can be upgraded to Android 18. Android 16 is planned for the 4 GB RAM model, subject to confirmation by Qualcomm and Google. Updates are best rolled out centrally through Mobile Device Management.

SmartStart is a package from the shop for goods receipt and putaway in the ERP system. The Basic version includes three CK62, the Ontego software, implementation and configuration, charging stations and a maintenance contract; the Plus version adds OPAL Mobile Device Management. Find out more about such projects under Mobile processes.
How far does the scanner read?
According to the manufacturer, the FlexRange XLR reads from 8 cm to 24 m, from the label in your hand to the bin location in the high bay. The S0703 slim imager is designed for 1D and 2D codes at close range; the spec sheet does not state a range.
