Brady HH86: Handheld RFID Reader with Android for Professional Data Capture
The Brady HH86 is a powerful handheld RFID reader and mobile computer in one device. Designed for industrial applications in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing and maintenance, it enables fast, accurate and seamless data capture. Whether for inventory management, asset tracking or traceability of equipment, the HH86 transfers captured data directly into existing systems such as MES, ERP or WMS.
The device supports UHF RFID in accordance with ISO 18000-63 (EPC Class 1 Gen 2 v2) and, thanks to its software-controlled circularly polarized antenna, achieves read ranges of up to 15 meters at speeds of up to 1,000 tags per second. In addition to NFC, HF and UHF RFID, the HH86 reads a wide range of common 1D and 2D barcodes and features an integrated 16 MP rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, making it a comprehensive solution for modern identification and data capture processes.
As a full-featured mobile computer, the HH86 runs on Android 13 and is upgradeable to Android 14. The powerful octa-core processor ensures smooth performance, while the NUR API enables easy integration into customized software solutions. The capacitive HD touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3, combined with visual, acoustic and haptic feedback, ensures intuitive operation even in demanding industrial environments.
The IP65-rated housing reliably protects against dust and moisture and withstands drops from up to 1.6 meters. Equipped with a 10,050 mAh lithium-ion battery that can be replaced during operation, the device delivers up to 18 hours of runtime, making it ideal for full-shift use. Modern connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, LTE, UMTS, GSM/EDGE, GNSS and USB 2.0 enable stable and flexible real-time data communication.
With its combination of high RFID performance, rugged design and powerful Android platform, the Brady HH86 is the ideal solution for companies looking to digitalize data capture processes and optimize operational efficiency.
