The new Chainway C63 is a rugged keypad handheld computer that combines flagship performance with a durable design, tailored for advanced data collection in logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, retail, and cold chain environments. It ensures continuous productivity in demanding conditions thanks to strong computing power, extended battery life, and high durability.
Performance and platform
The C63 is powered by a Qualcomm 2.0 GHz octa-core processor, Android 13, and high-speed UFS storage to deliver smooth operation throughout the device lifecycle. It can be upgraded up to Android 18, with lifecycle support guaranteed through 2031 to protect enterprise investments and ensure long-term operational stability.
Keypad and ergonomics
The device offers three keypad layouts (27, 37, and 47 keys) so enterprises can choose the configuration that best fits their workflows, complemented by an intuitive touch display for fast and flexible interaction. The handle has been optimized so that the main battery can be replaced without removing the handle and without affecting the rear camera.
Smart power system
The C63 includes a 6700 mAh main battery, which can be combined with an optional 5000 mAh handle battery for a total capacity of 11,700 mAh. A quick-release structure with pop-up button and hot-swap support allows battery replacement without rebooting the device, while intelligent power monitoring further improves efficiency and battery health.
Scanning and connectivity
Users can choose between standard, medium, and long-range scan engines, supporting reading distances of over 20 meters to cover everything from close-range labels to barcodes placed high on warehouse racks. Wi‑Fi 6 Ready with Fast Roaming and TWT power-saving technology reduces latency, optimizes power consumption, and ensures stable data transmission when workers move across large warehouses and sorting centers.
Rugged design and cold storage option
With an IP67 sealing rate and 1.5-meter drop resistance, the C63 is built for harsh environments such as dusty workshops, ports, loading bays, and outdoor operations. A dedicated cold storage version operates reliably down to −30 °C and features active heating for the display and scan window plus a 5400 mAh low-temperature battery, making it ideal for cold storage management, cold chain transport, medical cold chain, and food processing.
Overall, the Chainway C63 combines high performance, flexible operation, long-lasting power, and outstanding durability in a single device, enabling smarter, more efficient data capture and supporting digital transformation across industrial operations.
