The next evolution in rugged data capture — now available through Bidvest Mobility.


For South African businesses navigating fast-moving logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution environments, accuracy and efficiency are non-negotiable. As operations scale and customer expectations rise, the ability to capture, verify, and trace data in real time becomes critical to performance and profitability.


To support this demand, Bidvest Mobility is excited to highlight the Datalogic PowerScan 9600 RFID — a next-generation hybrid scanner built to bring the power of UHF RFID and high-performance barcode scanning into one ultra-rugged, all-purpose device.


A Hybrid Scanner Designed for Industrial Performance

The PowerScan 9600 RFID is the first industrial handheld scanner that seamlessly merges 1D/2D barcode scanning with UHF RFID reading and writing, giving operations the flexibility to transition between both technologies without swapping devices.


Whether you’re tracking pallets, reading bulk RFID tags, or capturing barcodes on packaging, the 9600 RFID delivers fast, reliable, and versatile data capture for every workflow.


Key Highlights

  • RFID reading range of up to 1 metre for rapid bulk reads

  • IP65 / IP67 industrial rating — resistant to water, dust, and extreme environments

  • Withstands 2.5-metre drops and 10 million+ trigger pulls

  • Inductive wireless charging for maximum uptime and zero contact wear

  • Smart battery technology, Bluetooth 5.0, and long-shift performance

  • Optional OLED display and 16-key keypad for advanced on-device control

  • High-performance barcode scan engine + Datalogic “Green Spot” good-read feedback


This makes it ideal for intense operational environments where durability, speed, and accuracy are essential.
