The Ruby 8 Tablet is a rugged 8-inch mobile device designed to support RFID-enabled operations, mobile POS applications, and real-time field data capture. With its 8-inch display, Ruby 8 offers a compact and portable form factor that is easier to hold and operate with one hand compared with larger tablets, making it suitable for frontline workers who need to scan, check inventory, process transactions, or capture field data while moving through retail stores, warehouses, logistics facilities, and service environments.

Purpose-Built for Logistics Operations

Ruby 8 features a compact 8-inch design that fits easily into a cargo pocket while providing the screen size needed for comfortable one-handed operation. Integrating RFID, enterprise-grade barcode scanning, NFC, 4G LTE, 5G RedCap (optional), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, Ruby 8 enables inventory management, asset tracking, real-time data synchronization, and electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) on a single device.

With NFC-enabled SoftPOS support, delivery drivers can also accept contactless payments and Cash on Delivery (COD) directly at the customer's doorstep, eliminating the need for a separate payment terminal. Equipped with front and rear cameras, Ruby 8 also enables drivers to capture photos of delivery conditions, packages, or the delivery site, providing visual documentation to support proof of delivery and help resolve potential delivery disputes. Combined with its rugged design and long-lasting battery life, Ruby 8 helps frontline workers stay connected and productive across logistics, retail, and field service applications.

Powering Every Step of Warehouse Operations

Ruby 8 is purpose-built for WMS workflows, enabling warehouse teams to manage inventory, assets, and item-level operations with speed and accuracy. Its integrated RFID reader and enterprise 1D/2D barcode scanner provide flexible dual data capture for receiving, put-away, picking, packing, cycle counting, and shipping.

Built to withstand demanding warehouse environments, Ruby 8 features IP65 dust and water resistance, 1.2-meter drop protection, and MIL-STD-810H vibration and shock compliance.

With a 5,700 mAh main battery delivering more than 10 hours of operation and a backup battery that supports hot swapping without powering down, Ruby 8 keeps workers connected and productive throughout continuous warehouse operations.

Fast, Contactless Inventory Management with RFID

In warehouse operations, RFID enables fast, contactless, and batch inventory identification without requiring direct line-of-sight. It is particularly valuable when goods are stacked on pallets, stored in sealed cartons, placed on high shelves, or frequently moved throughout the warehouse. With a handheld RFID reader, workers can quickly scan multiple tagged items at once, significantly reducing the time and effort required for inventory counting while improving inventory visibility and accuracy.

Built for High-Efficiency RFID Inventory Workflows

Ruby 8 supports RFID-based inventory workflows for pallet and carton counting, high-value asset tracking, blind inventory checks, and automated inbound and outbound operations. Workers can read multiple RFID tags simultaneously—even when items are covered or difficult to access—making it ideal for high-frequency cycle counting and fast-moving warehouse environments. Combined with real-time connectivity, Ruby 8 helps WMS teams keep inventory data synchronized and up to date, improving operational efficiency and reducing discrepancies between physical stock and system records.

One Device. Ready for Every Field Mission

From facial recognition and driver fatigue monitoring to ID verification and real-time image capture, Ruby 8 gives field workers the tools they need to capture, verify, and share critical information wherever work takes place.

Its rugged design, featuring IP65 dust and water resistance, 1.2-meter drop protection, and MIL-STD-810H vibration and shock compliance, ensures reliable operation in demanding environments. Whether deployed in transportation, public safety, inspections, or field service, Ruby 8 keeps frontline teams connected, informed, and ready for action.

A Versatile Smart Retail Hardware Investment

A single tablet fully handles mobile POS, order reception, contactless NFC payments, and warehouse inventory management, significantly saving on the space and budget required for multiple single-function devices. Featuring on-screen contactless payment capabilities and EMVCo Reduced Range 2 certification, it offers staff and customers a secure, fast, and seamless mobile payment experience with comprehensive sensing coverage.

The device supports 24/7 non-stop operation via a hot-swappable battery design; it combines a high-capacity 5700mAh main battery (providing over 10 hours of runtime) with a secondary battery to enable hot-swapping without powering down. This allows frontline staff to replace batteries without interrupting applications or rebooting, completely eliminating the risk of business disruption due to power loss.

FAQ
Q1: How can retailers and logistics companies reduce the number of mobile devices used by frontline workers?	Retailers and logistics operators can consolidate inventory counting, barcode scanning, RFID reading, identity verification, mobile payment, and proof of delivery into a single rugged mobile device. An integrated platform reduces the need for separate barcode scanners, RFID readers, payment terminals, and tablets, helping lower hardware costs, simplify device management, and improve frontline workflow efficiency. Ruby 8 is designed around this all-in-one approach with RFID, 1D/2D barcode scanning, NFC, wireless connectivity, and mobile computing integrated into one 8-inch platform.
Q2: When should a warehouse use RFID instead of barcode scanning for inventory management?	RFID is particularly useful when warehouses need fast, non-line-of-sight, or bulk inventory counting. Multiple tagged items, cartons, or assets can be identified without scanning each barcode individually. Barcode scanning remains valuable for precise item-level verification. Combining RFID and barcode capabilities allows warehouse operators to use RFID for rapid inventory counts and barcode scanning for receiving, picking, packing, and shipping verification.
Q3: Can one mobile device support inventory, delivery, and payment workflows from the warehouse to the customer?	Yes. Modern enterprise mobile devices can support an end-to-end workflow beginning with RFID inventory counting and barcode-based picking in the warehouse, followed by cellular or Wi-Fi data synchronization during transportation, electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) at the customer's location, and NFC-enabled contactless payment for COD transactions. This allows logistics operators to manage multiple stages of the delivery process on a single device.
Q4: What should enterprises consider when selecting a rugged mobile device for retail, logistics, and field operations?	Key considerations include durability, battery life, hot-swap capability, OS lifecycle, wireless connectivity, barcode and RFID data capture, NFC/payment capability, display readability, operating temperature, and device size and weight. Enterprises should also consider whether one device can support multiple workflows, because consolidating functions can reduce equipment costs, training requirements, maintenance complexity, and the number of devices frontline workers need to carry.
Q5: How can mobile technology improve ROI and productivity in retail and logistics operations?	Mobile technology can improve ROI by reducing manual inventory processes, shortening transaction and delivery times, improving inventory accuracy, and consolidating multiple dedicated devices into one platform. For high-volume operations, capabilities such as RFID bulk reading, enterprise barcode scanning, real-time wireless synchronization, mobile payment, and ePOD can reduce repetitive work and help frontline employees complete more tasks without returning to a fixed workstation.
Q6: Can an all-in-one rugged tablet lower the total cost of ownership compared with separate RFID readers, barcode scanners, and payment terminals?	Yes. Consolidating RFID, barcode scanning, NFC payment, connectivity, and mobile computing into one rugged device can reduce the number of devices an organization needs to purchase, deploy, charge, maintain, and replace. It can also simplify employee training, spare-device management, software deployment, and mobile device management. For retail, logistics, and field service operations, an all-in-one platform can therefore help reduce total cost of ownership while providing a more streamlined workflow for frontline employees.
