The Bluebird X40-ANLHRN is an Android enterprise mobile computer with integrated UHF RFID, designed for organisations that require fast inventory identification, barcode scanning and mobile computing over enterprise Wi-Fi.

Rather than requiring workers to carry a separate smartphone, barcode scanner and RFID reader, the X40 combines multiple enterprise data-capture technologies into one lightweight handheld.

The X40-ANLHRN is particularly suitable for businesses whose devices primarily operate inside warehouses, retail stores, factories, hospitals or other locations with reliable Wi-Fi coverage.

The X40-ANLHRN includes an integrated UHF RFID reader, allowing workers to identify compatible RFID-tagged products and assets without attaching a separate RFID sled.

Bluebird specifies an RFID reading distance of approximately up to 1.2 metres and a reading rate of up to 50 tags per second under suitable conditions.

Unlike conventional barcode scanning where individual labels are generally scanned one at a time, RFID can allow multiple compatible tags to be identified rapidly and without requiring direct line of sight.

Typical applications include:

• Retail inventory counting
• Stocktake and cycle counting
• Warehouse inventory checks
• Apparel and item-level RFID
• Asset tracking
• Equipment identification
• Stockroom management
• Inventory audits
• RFID-enabled manufacturing workflows
• Workforce and equipment management

Alongside RFID, the Bluebird X40 supports camera-based barcode scanning for compatible 1D and 2D barcode applications.

The scanning system uses an 8MP autofocus camera with PDAF together with a green LED aiming system and illumination to help workers quickly identify and capture barcodes.

This allows the X40 to support workflows where businesses use both traditional barcodes and RFID tags within the same operation.

• Product identification
• Receiving and dispatch
• Order picking
• Inventory management
• Retail price checks
• Asset identification
• Stock movements
• Product verification

The X40 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon QC6490 octa-core processor running at up to 2.7GHz.

This X40-ANLHRN configuration includes 6GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 flash storage, providing ample performance for modern inventory, retail, warehouse, RFID and enterprise Android applications.

The device runs Android 14 with Google Mobile Services, allowing organisations to deploy compatible Android enterprise applications and management solutions.

Bluebird also lists planned operating-system upgrade support for Android 16 and Android 18, subject to Bluebird's applicable upgrade program and availability.

The X40-ANLHRN supports Wi-Fi 6E across compatible IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax wireless networks.

Wi-Fi 6E allows the X40 to connect to compatible 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz wireless infrastructure, providing high-speed enterprise connectivity throughout warehouses, retail stores, hospitals, factories and offices.

This Wi-Fi-only configuration is particularly suitable when devices will remain within locations that already have reliable enterprise wireless coverage.

Integrated Bluetooth 5.3 provides wireless connectivity for compatible enterprise peripherals, mobile printers, headsets and other Bluetooth devices.

This allows organisations to integrate the X40 with compatible mobile printing, communications and data-capture workflows.

The X40 features a 6.11-inch 1080 × 2340 AMOLED display, providing a large, high-resolution workspace while maintaining a compact handheld form factor.

The display supports brightness of up to 600 nits in Outdoor Mode, helping improve visibility in brighter working environments.

Its capacitive touchscreen supports operation with a bare finger, wet finger, compatible glove or stylus.

Corning Gorilla Glass protection and a fingerprint-resistant anti-smudge coating help make the display suitable for everyday enterprise use.

The Bluebird X40 uses a user-replaceable 4320mAh / 16.72Wh standard battery.

Warm Swap functionality allows workers to replace the battery while helping preserve their active working session, reducing interruption during long operating shifts.

Quick charging is also supported when using compatible Bluebird charging equipment.

The X40 includes a high-resolution 50MP rear-facing camera with autofocus, PDAF, flash, torch mode and optical image stabilisation.

An 8MP front-facing camera supports compatible video communication and enterprise collaboration applications.

The cameras can also be used for applications such as proof of condition, product photography, equipment documentation, damage reporting and workplace records.

Integrated NFC supports compatible contactless identification, card-reading and enterprise applications.

The X40 supports ISO 14443 Type A and B, FeliCa and ISO 15693 cards together with Host Card Emulation.

It also supports EMV Contactless Level 1 RR2, providing a platform for compatible contactless payment, identification, loyalty and authentication applications.

The Bluebird X40 is engineered for demanding commercial and enterprise environments where mobile devices experience frequent daily handling.

The device carries an IP68 sealing rating and a specified 1.5 metre / 5 foot drop rating to tile over concrete under the defined testing conditions.

Bluebird also specifies repeated tumble testing and an operating temperature range from approximately -20°C to 50°C.

This makes the X40 well suited to retail stockrooms, warehouses, factories and other demanding enterprise environments.

Despite integrating UHF RFID, barcode scanning, NFC and enterprise computing hardware, the X40 weighs approximately 199 grams.

Its compact dimensions of approximately 155.2 × 74.2 × 12mm give the X40 a smartphone-style form factor designed for comfortable one-handed operation.

Dual-action side scanning buttons provide convenient access to scanning functions during repetitive inventory and warehouse workflows.

The X40 supports compatible Bluebird enterprise charging and communications accessories.

Bluebird states that selected X40 accessories are compatible with the HF550X, helping organisations protect existing accessory investments when upgrading compatible Bluebird deployments.
