Put the power of android in your warehouse vehicles
With the VC80x, you can easily migrate your material handling vehicles to the next generation platform for warehousemobility. Based on Android, the VC80x delivers a well-proven mobility platform with guaranteed security support you can count on. You can migrate from Windows to Android without changing the experience you have in place today — no re-training, re-configuration, or development is required. Designed for the most extreme environments, the VC80x can go everywhere your vehicle operators need to go — inside the warehouse, out in the yard, on the loading dock and even in the freezer. And only Zebra fortifies Android with powerful Mobility DNA features to accelerate every aspect of the warehouse, from goods in to ship out. The VC80x — ultra-rugged, Android-powered for a smarter warehouse.
Easily transition to android
Run the apps you have today — no changes needed
Since Ivanti Velocity is pre-loaded and pre-licensed, you can run your existing terminal emulation (TE) screens or HTML5 apps on the VC80x, right out of the box. Your workers get the same experience they have today — there’s no need to change your backend or re-train workers. And you can even transform your green TE screens to graphical, touch-based screens.
Ready for the next generation of Warehouse Management Systems
Since the VC80x is based on Android, you’re ready for the new wave of Android-based Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). With a powerful computing platform and flexible development environment, the VC80x can grow as your applications evolve.
Built-in future proofing and operating system support
Only from Zebra, LifeGuard™ for Android guarantees direct security updates for a total of 10 years from the release date, along with the ability to upgrade to future versions of Android1 for a superior lifecycle and return on investment.
Android Certified for guaranteed security and performance
Since the VC80x is an Android Certified device, you get the peace of mind that comes from knowing the device is secure and proven compatible with the growing number of Android apps built for the warehouse and enterprise.
A common platform for the warehouse and beyond
If you are using Zebra Android handheld and wearable devices in the warehouse, workers and IT will benefit from a common operating system and solution platform. You’ll get the same user experience and management tools across different form factors throughout the warehouse and supply chain.
THE RUGGED VC80X — YOUR PATH TO ANDROID AND A SMARTER WAREHOUSE
Ultra rugged design
Built for extreme environments
The VC80x is ready for your toughest environments, with dust-and-water tight IP66 sealing, sealed connectors, and extreme temperature, shock and vibration testing.
Freezer-ready for the coldest supply chains
The VC80x is the only Android vehicle computer to offer true frost and condensation free operation with touchscreen, connectors, board and battery heaters, plus smart temperature sensors that automatically control heater and heating speed.
An optional heated, rugged keyboard
If your workers prefer full keyboard operations, you can mount the optional rugged keyboard to the bottom of the VC80x. The keyboard’s internal heater ensures frost and condensation free operation in freezing temperatures, while drainage holes prevent heavy icing on the keyboard.
Fits in virtually any warehouse/material handling vehicle
Multiple mounting options, including standard RAM mounts combine with a compact size for an easy fit and easy mounting, even in the smallest vehicles. A 10-second quick release mount makes it easy to move the VC80x to another vehicle during vehicle maintenance or device repair.

Programmable keys to simplify the most complex operations
With six direct and six soft programmable keys, multi-step processes can be executed with one key press, boosting throughput and productivity.
