Description
The MC51S is the Android 16 successor in Chainway’s MC51 family. Rather than a fixed RFID design, it uses a flexible UHF back clip: the rugged 6-inch mobile computer can be used on its own for barcode work, then clipped onto the UHF module and pistol grip when you need to read RFID tags.
That makes it a practical single platform for warehouses, container yards and stores that run barcode and RFID processes side by side.
High-speed UHF with long range
The self-developed UHF module is based on Impinj E-series reader ICs and Chainway’s anti-collision algorithm. It supports Impinj Gen2X, reads at up to 1,300+ tags per second and reaches 30 m or more in open-air tests (results vary with tags and environment). Output power is adjustable from 1 to 30 dBm for tuning range in dense areas.
Modern Android platform
A Qualcomm octa-core 2.8 GHz processor runs Android 16 with Google AER certification. Memory starts at 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and goes up to 8 GB + 256 GB, with a TF card slot. A 6-inch display (1440 × 720, or optional 2160 × 1080) uses Gorilla Glass and works with gloves and wet hands.
Barcode, NFC and connectivity
Scan engine options include Zebra SE4710 and SE55, CM60 and CB300T for long-range work. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, Bluetooth 5.1, GNSS and 4G LTE support keep data moving, and NFC reads 13.56 MHz cards at 2–4 cm.
