Robust high-spec handheld for a diverse range applications

The IT-G500 from CASIO combines the best of two established and proven product lines with innovative features. The IT-G500 is extremely robust and ergonomic, delivering a strong and powerful performance. Along with its versatile functionality, the handheld is easy to operate, features an excellent 4.3" touch display, and offers exceptional performance and resistance against external influences. There are a total of nine models available, with Microsoft® Windows® Embedded Handheld 6.5 or Embedded Compact 7, enabling the most economical and optimal model of the IT-G500 product line to be used for each task.

High-spec handheld for a diverse range of applications

The CASIO IT-G500 combines advanced technologies for optimal ease of use in an extremely robust unit, with specifications that exceed those of tried-and-tested handhelds. It retains the extreme robustness of an industrial handheld while also providing the versatile functionality and convenience of a business handheld..


Extremely robust and reliable

Despite its low weight, the device is resistant to external influences. Its housing is made of an elastic plastic material and can withstand drops onto concrete from a height of 1.50 m, or even greater heights if a bumper is fitted. The device offers IP67 protection against penetration by dust and water and operates at temperatures between -20°C to +50°C — ensuring that it is fully equipped for long-term use in tough working conditions.


Large, high-resolution colour display

It comes with a 480 x 800 pixel screen, the WVGA display provides 23% more surface area and information than a conventional VGA display. With LED backlighting, it provides optimal readability in the dark in a wide range of working environments. The special display technology from CASIO ensures that the touchscreen can withstand abrupt impacts and does not break.


Easy and comfortable to use

The CASIO IT-G500 has been optimised for one-handed operation and has a scanner head angled downwards by 25°. By angling the scanner in this way, the device is comfortable to hold and the user can see the display during the scanning process. Three trigger buttons minimise the amount of finger movement. Due to the symmetrical arrangement of the buttons, it is just as easy for both right and left-handed users to operate the device.


igh-speed scanner or CMOS imager?

The application determines whether or not a laser scanner for barcodes or an imager for common 2D codes is required. Both reading modules are extremely high-performance. They can read multiple codes—even damaged ones—simultaneously at lightning speed. The read result is confirmed optically or acoustically and with vibration. 


A vital feature: Filter to counteract flickering of LED lighting

A band-pass filter prevents the high-frequency flickering of LED lighting from interfering with scanning. Optimised decoding algorithms and an improved stabilisation process have also helped to further improve reading performance, even under modern shop lighting.


Digital camera with built-in RFID/NFC and GPS

The built-in digital camera is ideally suited to creating documentation for the purposes of quality assurance and recording damage. Common protocols in the fields of RFID, contactless smart cards and near field communication (NFC) are supported. The current location can be easily determined using the position coordinates of the integrated GPS.


Signature capture directly on the display

The scratch-resistant surface of the touch screen allows for handwritten input, such as confirming receipt via a signature. The special display technology ensures that the touch panel can withstand abrupt impacts and does not break. The display is approximately ten times more robust than normal screens.


Ready for demanding applications

The CASIO IT-G500 is equipped with the powerful ARM® Cortex® A9 Dual Core Processor (1.5 GHz). Together with generous memory (1 GB or 512 MB RAM and 4 GB ROM), the device provides high levels of performance. "Powered by Microsoft® Windows® Embedded Handheld 6.5 or Embedded Compact 7" technology makes it easy to integrate the device into existing applications and standard solutions. This guarantees that the device will be a secure investment over many years and suitable for use in a diverse range of demanding applications. 


Ideal for use in the retail, industry and service sectors

Thanks to a selection of nine different models, the most economical and optimal model of the IT-G500 series can be used for each task. One group features a built-in laser scanner, while another is equipped with a CMOS imager. In addition to fast WLAN capabilities, both groups can also be made mobile if required through the use of SIM cards for WWAN.
