Honeywell CK67-NB-UVN-0 Enterprise Handheld Mobile Computer
The Honeywell CK67-NB-UVN-0 is a purpose-built rugged handheld designed for warehouse, manufacturing, logistics, and field service environments where consumer smartphones would fail within weeks. This is a machine built around drop testing and dust sealing, not style. Running the Honeywell ScanPal platform on Android, it combines industrial durability with processing power sufficient for real-time WMS integration, multi-application multitasking, and high-volume barcode capture.
Key Features
- Qualcomm QCS4490 Octa-Core 2.0 GHz processor: Eight-core CPU handles concurrent barcode scanning, WMS lookups, and data synchronization without lag — meaningful when your scanning volume hits 200+ transactions per shift and you're pulling inventory data from multiple backend systems simultaneously.
- IP65 with optional IP68 sealed construction and 2.4 m (8 ft) drop rating: Dust and water ingress won't brick this device. You can drop it from waist height onto concrete or asphalt and keep working. No tray or protective case required for most warehouse floors, though we still recommend one for fall heights above eight feet or drop onto sharp edges.
- 4.3-inch WVGA display (800 x 480) with Gorilla Glass 7: Bright enough to read in direct sunlight without squinting, tough enough to resist scratching from keys or debris in a pocket. The glass layer won't crack from typical drops, and the resolution is sufficient for picking lists, small barcode details, and confirmation screens without excessive zooming.
- WiFi 6E (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax): Backward-compatible with existing 2.4 GHz networks, but WiFi 6E's 6 GHz band and improved efficiency reduce latency and congestion in dense warehouse deployments. Real benefit: snappier WMS response times during peak receiving or shipping hours when dozens of devices are active on the same access point.
- Bluetooth 5.2: Pairs reliably with warehouse peripherals — scales, printers, headsets — at range up to 240 m (780 ft) in open space. In practice, expect 40–60 m in typical warehouse with metal racks and concrete walls.
- 7000 mAh Li-Ion battery: Delivers full eight- to ten-hour shift without swap or charging dock. On slower days, you'll have 15–20% battery left at end of shift; during peak picking, you'll finish near empty. Plan for dock charging between shifts, not during.
- 6 GB RAM and 128 GB Flash storage with microSD expansion: 6 GB is sufficient for running multiple warehouse or logistics apps simultaneously without crashes. 128 GB internal accommodates app suites, offline WMS caches, and local image/barcode logs; microSD expansion up to 512 GB (or higher, depending on card availability) gives you room for extended data logging if required for compliance or troubleshooting.
- Day/night imaging capability: Built-in camera with low-light performance supports outdoor receiving inspections, evening shift asset documentation, and quality control photography without supplemental lighting. Useful for proof-of-delivery photos and condition inspections in unlit loading areas.
- Operating temperature range -20° to 50°C (-4° to 122°F): Handles freezer operations, climate-controlled warehouses, and hot outdoor receiving docks without thermal shutdown. Below -20°C or above 50°C, battery performance degrades and the device may not boot; plan accordingly if you operate heated trailers or arctic storage.
Integration and Deployment
The CK67-NB-UVN-0 runs Honeywell's ScanPal software ecosystem, which includes pre-built integrations for major WMS platforms (SAP, Oracle, JDA, Manhattan, Blue Yonder) and support for custom REST and SOAP APIs. Bluetooth integration with nearby label printers, mobile scales, and barcode verification accessories is straightforward pairing; most Honeywell and third-party Bluetooth peripherals will recognize it automatically. WiFi 6E support future-proofs network investment — you can deploy this device today on existing WiFi 5 infrastructure and upgrade access points later without replacing handhelds.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your operations are entirely indoors with room-temperature climate and low drop frequency, consider evaluating a lower-cost Honeywell mobile computer in the same family. If you require cellular (2G/3G/4G/5G) connectivity for field service in areas without WiFi coverage, you'll need a variant with integrated LTE modem — confirm your specific model supports cellular before purchase. If you need integrated GPS for route mapping or outdoor asset tracking, verify GPS module inclusion in your configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the CK67-NB-UVN-0 compatible with my existing Honeywell peripherals?
A: The CK67-NB-UVN-0 supports Bluetooth 5.2 and pairs with Honeywell barcode scanners, label printers, and scales via standard Bluetooth profiles. Confirm your specific peripheral model in the device's Bluetooth settings; most Honeywell Bluetooth accessories (2015 and later) are compatible.
Q: What is the warranty on the CK67-NB-UVN-0?
A: Honeywell CK67 models typically ship with a one-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Extended warranty and accidental damage protection plans are available at point of purchase; confirm specific terms with your reseller or contact Honeywell directly.
Q: Can the CK67-NB-UVN-0 connect to my WMS via WiFi 6E only, or does it need WiFi 5 fallback?
A: The CK67-NB-UVN-0 is backward-compatible with WiFi 5 (802.11ac) and 2.4 GHz networks (802.11n). WiFi 6E (6 GHz band) is optional — if your access points don't support 6E, the device will default to 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz without any performance penalty or configuration change required.
Q: Is the CK67-NB-UVN-0 suitable for freezer or cold-storage operations?
A: The operating temperature range is -20° to 50°C. Freezer environments (typically -18°C to -25°C) fall below the specified minimum, and battery performance will degrade significantly. For extended freezer use, request cold-rated battery options or plan for frequent charging cycles; do not rely on the 7000 mAh battery spec in sub-zero conditions.
Q: Does the CK67-NB-UVN-0 support two-way voice communication or mobile push-to-talk?
A: The CK67-NB-UVN-0 includes a microphone and speaker for voice calls and Bluetooth headset pairing. WiFi-based PTT (push-to-talk) apps compatible with Android can be installed, though this depends on app availability from your software provider, not the device hardware itself.
Q: What happens if I drop the CK67-NB-UVN-0 from higher than 2.4 m (8 ft)?
A: Drops above 8 feet or onto sharp/hard surfaces (rebar, concrete edges, steel I-beams) may cause damage not covered under the drop rating. The device is rated to survive a single 8-foot drop onto hard floor under lab conditions; multiple drops from that height, or a single drop from 10+ feet, can cause internal damage despite the rugged casing.
The CK67-NB-UVN-0 represents a deliberate trade-off between ruggedness and processing power. This is not a smartphone pretending to be industrial — it's a purpose-designed scan-and-capture device that prioritizes drop tolerance, dust sealing, and sustained battery life over a flashy display or latest flagship CPU. The WiFi 6E support is forward-thinking, but the real deployment win is the combination of IP65/IP68 sealing with an 8-foot drop rating and 7000 mAh battery capacity, which together cut daily maintenance overhead significantly compared to consumer-grade alternatives.
Technical Highlights:
- Qualcomm QCS4490 Octa-Core at 2.0 GHz with 6 GB RAM: Sufficient horsepower for simultaneous barcode scanning, WMS lookups, and background data sync without lag or thermal throttling. You won't see freezing or app restarts under normal warehouse load, even during peak hour with multiple concurrent transactions.
- 7000 mAh battery with IP65/IP68 and 2.4 m drop rating: Full-shift runtime without mid-shift charging or battery swap reduces operator downtime and Total Cost of Ownership. The combination of sealed construction and certified drop tolerance means you're not replacing units every 6–12 months due to impact damage or moisture ingress.
- WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2: WiFi 6E reduces latency and congestion in multi-access-point warehouse deployments; Bluetooth 5.2 provides stable pairing with peripheral scales, label printers, and headsets even in high-density RF environments common in logistics facilities.
- Day/night imaging with microSD expansion: On-device camera supports outdoor receiving inspections and condition documentation without external hardware. Up to 512 GB microSD expansion allows local caching of proof-of-delivery photos or inspection logs for compliance or troubleshooting.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 4.3-inch WVGA display (800 x 480) is adequate for picking lists and barcode data but smaller than modern smartphones. If your WMS app relies on detailed maps or complex graphics, request a pilot unit to confirm readability for your user base.
- Temperature range -20° to 50°C excludes freezer operations below -20°C; battery performance degrades significantly in sub-zero conditions. Plan for cold-rated battery upgrades or frequent charging if extended freezer duty is required.
- The 8-foot drop rating is robust but assumes drop onto hard floor, not impact against sharp edges, rebar, or steel fixtures. Expect damage if dropped from 10+ feet or onto objects with edges or points.
Deploy the CK67-NB-UVN-0 in high-velocity warehouse picking, manufacturing floor inventory tracking, or logistics field operations where durability and battery endurance directly reduce per-unit maintenance cost. If your environment demands sub-zero operation, cellular connectivity, or integrated GPS, confirm variant availability before committing to purchase.
