The Honeywell 8690i is an industrial wearable RFID mini mobile computer designed to improve productivity in warehouse, logistics, sorting, and inventory management workflows where hands-free operation and rapid identification are essential. The device combines RFID reading, barcode scanning, wireless communication, and mobile computing capabilities into a single compact wearable solution. By replacing separate RFID readers, scanners, and mobile computers, the Honeywell 8690i simplifies workflows, improves ergonomics, and reduces overall equipment and operating costs. The integrated user-facing display allows operators to receive workflow instructions, status information, and process confirmations directly on the device, while the simple two-button interface supports quick navigation and efficient interaction without interrupting daily operations. One of the key advantages of the Honeywell 8690i is its ability to significantly accelerate RFID-based workflows. Compared to traditional handheld barcode scanning processes, RFID identification can reduce the number of required movements and handling steps by up to 66%, helping increase operational throughput and overall efficiency in high-volume environments. The device supports both RFID and barcode data capture. Its integrated omnidirectional area imager ensures reliable reading of 1D and 2D barcodes, while the built-in RFID technology supports EPC Global Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6C standards. Depending on configuration, the device can read RFID tags from distances up to approximately one meter using the glove-mounted auxiliary antenna. The Honeywell 8690i is available in both two-finger ring and back-of-hand glove configurations, both of which can be quickly reconfigured in the field to match workflow and ergonomic requirements. The wearable glove system securely positions the device for comfortable long-term operation while maintaining high user dexterity during picking and handling tasks. Integrated Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 communication provide fast and stable wireless connectivity for enterprise applications. The device supports fast roaming, NFC pairing, and advanced wireless security protocols, making it suitable for large-scale warehouse and industrial deployments. Designed for demanding industrial environments, the Honeywell 8690i offers rugged durability together with comfortable daily usability. The non-absorbent wearable materials are easy to clean and suitable for intensive multi-shift use. The hot-swappable battery system allows battery replacement without shutting down the device, minimizing operational interruptions during long shifts. The high-capacity 3400 mAh battery supports continuous RFID reading and regular barcode scanning throughout a full active working shift, while optional multi-bay chargers simplify large-scale device management and charging operations. The Honeywell 8690i is an ideal solution for warehouse picking, RFID inventory management, logistics operations, retail fulfillment, sorting applications, and industrial workflows where wearable mobility, RFID efficiency, and fast data capture are critical.
