Catchwell CW31
Discontinued · Historic Catchwell range
Catchwell CW31 was a rugged terminal for warehouse and field data collection. The family included a 3.5-inch touch display and numeric or QWERTY keyboards, with different setups for barcode and RFID identification.
The Catchwell CW31 is discontinued. If you need to replace it, contact Starcode to evaluate an alternative.
Features of the Catchwell CW31
- Windows Mobile 6.5 or Windows CE platforms, depending on configuration.
- 38-key numeric keyboard or 53-key QWERTY keyboard.
- 1D laser barcode scanner or 2D imager, depending on the setup.
- IP65 protection, declared drops of 1.8 meters and 4,000 mAh main battery.
- Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1; A-band support was optional.
Barcode versions and RFID configurations
The CW31 range included configurations with HF RFID reading and a UHF version with dedicated handle. The UHF version used EPC Gen2/ISO 18000-6C tags and an additional battery for RFID function. These features belonged to the specific setups and not to all CW31s.
How to replace the Catchwell CW31
For an alternative to the CW31, what matters above all is the type of acquisition: barcode, RFID HF or UHF. Starcode helps you choose between current terminals and RFID solutions, also considering keyboard, application and mode of use.
Native Windows CE and Windows Mobile applications do not run directly on Android: the move to a new terminal also includes evaluating the software and connection to company systems.
