What can be built into the device
| Function | Available options |
|---|---|
| Barcode scanning | Rear 2D engine from Newland, Honeywell N3680 or Zebra 4710; the engine connects to a dedicated FPC header inside the housing |
| Fingerprint capture | FAP10 capacitive sensor; FAP20 or FAP30 optical sensors (Slim2 / Slim3 family). The profile decides the capture area and image dimensions, so confirm the record format your application has to produce |
| Identity documents | Second-generation Chinese ID card reader, working offline, with an online version available where the workflow depends on a central service |
| NFC and contactless | NFC ST21NFC at 13.56 MHz, ISO/IEC 14443 Type A/B and ISO/IEC 15693 |
| RFID | LF 125K / 134.2K, HF 13.56 MHz (FD101) and UHF options depending on the platform |
Module availability varies by model — what fits the XH-500 tablet is not the same list as the XH-100 handheld. The set is confirmed against the platform you select, and any software impact is captured at the software customization stage.
Interfaces customers ask for most
External ports
On the XH-400 platform the external set is RJ45 Ethernet, USB-A, USB Type-C, a DC 3.5 mm charging port, a reset pinhole and a hybrid SIM/TF tray, with two microphones — enough for most counter, kiosk and vehicle installations.
- Wired RJ45 for installations that will not rely on Wi-Fi
- USB-A for printers, meters and legacy peripherals
- USB Type-C for charging and data
Internal headers for integrators
XH-400 also exposes internal USB, TTL serial, GPIO and SPI headers plus the 2D engine FPC inside the housing, so custom peripherals can be wired without external adapters hanging off the case.
- USB × 3, TTL serial × 2, GPIO × 3, SPI × 1
- Dedicated 2D scan engine FPC × 1
- Where RS232 is required, TTL can be converted to RS232 for the project
An interface that the mainboard does not offer is a design change rather than a configuration change — that is the boundary between an OEM build and an ODM build with a new board.
Memory, display, radio and power
| Area | How it can change |
|---|---|
| Memory and storage | On XH-500, Android 12 with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage is standard, and 6 GB + 128 GB or 8 GB + 128 GB are optional; the TF slot adds expansion up to 512 GB |
| Display | Optional display resolution on platforms that offer more than one panel tier; glass and touch behaviour are covered by the environmental specification |
| Cellular | LTE band configuration matched to the destination market, so devices work with the local carriers instead of being reworked after arrival |
| Power | Charger plug types and adapter input range matched to the destination market; vehicle and desk docking accessories available |
| Identification | Device model name and rating-label marking set for the project, with serialisation on the line |
Android version and the rest of the software image — GMS or plain AOSP, the launcher, pre-installed applications and kiosk behaviour — are handled on the Android OS customization page.
How hardware customization is quoted
The configuration is fixed before the line starts, so the sample you approve is the configuration that ships. Ordering terms →
What affects cost
- Whether the module is already integrated on that platform
- Whether the change stays inside the existing board and tooling
- Memory tier and storage configuration
- Quantity, which changes component pricing
What happens after approval
- A sample of the agreed configuration is built and inspected
- Acceptance criteria are checked on that sample
- Mass production follows the same bill of materials
- Units are serialised, so a shipped device traces back to its record
Hardware customization questions
Which modules can be specified on a rugged tablet or handheld PDA?
Can we add an interface the standard board does not have?
Can the memory and storage configuration be changed?
Can LTE bands and chargers be matched to our market?
Send the hardware requirement
Tell us what the device has to connect to and read, and we will confirm whether an existing platform covers it:
- The peripherals it must drive — printer, meter, relay, sensor, external scanner
- The codes, credentials or documents it must capture
- Interfaces required, including anything not on the standard board
- Memory tier, destination market and LTE bands
- Quantity and target date
