Real keys for fast data entry

Typing quantities, location codes and order numbers is quicker and more accurate on physical keys, especially with gloves on. The ME40K has a 21-key alphanumeric keypad with five programmable keys, so common actions in your warehouse or stock app can be set to a single press. Scan buttons sit on both sides, and the 4-inch Gorilla Glass touchscreen works with wet hands and gloves.

It is a familiar layout for staff moving from older Windows Mobile or keypad scanners, which makes the switch to Android much easier.

Enterprise scan engines

The ME40K is available with a Zebra SE4770, Honeywell HS7 or MEFERI SE5070 scan engine. It reads 1D and 2D barcodes quickly, including damaged and poorly printed labels, with sound, light and vibration to confirm each scan.

Small, light and tough

• IP67 sealing against dust and water
• 1.8m drops to concrete, repeated across the full temperature range
• Works from -20°C to 60°C, including chilled rooms
• Just 289g with the battery and 18mm thick

Up to 20 hours, with hot swap

The 5,180mAh battery is rated for up to 20 hours of scanning. When it does need changing, staff can swap it without rebooting: a small backup battery keeps the device running for 5 to 10 minutes, so apps and network connections stay as they were. A single-slot cradle and a 4-slot battery charger are available.

Business-ready Android

The ME40K runs Android 12 with Google Mobile Services and Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) certification, upgradeable to Android 13, with security patches for at least five years. It supports zero-touch enrolment with standard MDM tools, so a fleet can be set up quickly.

Who the ME40K is for

• Warehouses and stockrooms doing goods-in, putaway and stock counts
• Teams replacing older keypad scanners
• Retail back offices and parts counters
• Staff who key in a lot of numbers alongside scanning

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the ME40K and the ME74?

Both have physical keypads. The ME40K is smaller and lighter at 289g, for everyday warehouse and retail work. The ME74 is a heavier, ultra-rugged device with IP68 sealing, 5G, freezer operation down to -30°C and an optional long-range scanner.

Can I use my existing warehouse software?

If your software runs on Android or in a web browser, it will run on the ME40K. It is Android Enterprise Recommended, so it works with standard MDM tools for installing apps and managing devices.

Can I order several units with accessories?

Yes. For teams, we quote volume pricing with spare batteries, charging cradles, 4-slot battery chargers and protective covers. Request a quote and tell us how many devices you need.
