Zebra KC50 Kiosk Computer

Download Spec Sheet

Designed for consumers, built for business. The ultimate modular self-service solution.

The Zebra KC50 Android Kiosk Computer represents a paradigm shift in self-service technology, bridging the gap between the sleek aesthetics customers love and the rigorous durability businesses demand. While it offers the inviting look and feel of a high-end consumer tablet, the KC50 is engineered with the same robust enterprise DNA found in Zebra’s industry-leading mobile computers.

For Maltese businesses striving to modernize—whether in retail, hospitality, or healthcare—the KC50 offers a flexible, all-in-one platform. It solves the complexity of custom kiosk deployments by offering a modular “mix-and-match” system that can be mounted on a wall, counter, or floor. Unlike consumer-grade tablets that fail under constant use, the KC50 is built to handle 24/7 operation, ensuring your self-service stations are always open for business.

Key Benefits

• Unmatched Modularity with Z-Flex: The KC50 eliminates the need for complex custom cabinetry. It features universal “Z-Flex” connectors on all four sides, allowing you to instantly snap on peripherals like the Zebra SE4720 enterprise barcode scanner, notification light bars, or payment terminals. You can change the layout anytime as your needs evolve.

• Exceptional Device Lifecycle: Avoid the hidden costs of mixed-model deployments. The KC50 is available for sale for four years, with support extended for an additional four years. This guarantees up to eight years of consistent service and support, maximizing your return on investment.

• Simplified Infrastructure with PoE: Reduce installation costs and cable clutter. The KC50 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), meaning you can deliver both power and high-speed data through a single standard Ethernet cable, eliminating the need to hire electricians for new power outlets.

• Interference-Free Wi-Fi 6E: In crowded retail environments, connectivity is critical. The KC50 supports Wi-Fi 6E, unlocking the new 6 GHz band to double wireless speeds and eliminate interference from other devices.

• Digital Wallet Optimized: Meet modern customer expectations with native support for Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap. Customers can simply tap their phones to redeem loyalty points, present tickets, or use digital coupons.

The versatile design of the KC50 makes it the perfect fit for various sectors

Retail & Supermarkets Transform the checkout experience. The KC50 can serve as a compact self-checkout station where customers scan items using the integrated high-performance scanner. Alternatively, mount it on shelves as a price checker or an “endless aisle” station, allowing shoppers to check stock availability or order out-of-stock sizes for home delivery.

Hospitality & Hotels Streamline the guest experience from the moment they walk in. Use the KC50 as a self-check-in/check-out terminal, allowing guests to bypass the front desk during peak hours. In restaurants or cafes, it functions as an intuitive self-ordering kiosk, letting customers browse menus and customize orders visually.

Healthcare Facilities Improve patient flow in clinics and waiting rooms. The KC50 allows for secure patient check-in, reducing administrative bottlenecks. Its chemically strengthened glass and chemically resistant housing make it easy to clean and sanitize frequent-touch surfaces, maintaining essential hygiene standards.

Travel & Transport Ideal for ferry terminals or transport hubs, the KC50 can handle self-ticketing and baggage tagging, helping to manage queues and improve traveler satisfaction.

Detailed Features

Rugged and Ready for Public Spaces Don’t let the elegant glass front fool you. The KC50 is built to survive the “inevitable sudden impacts” of public use. The display is ball-drop tested for impact resistance and features an anti-smudge coating to resist fingerprints. It is also IP65 rated, meaning it is dust-proof and capable of withstanding liquid spills and sprays from any angle.

A Platform You Can Trust Running on a powerful Qualcomm® 5430 Octa-Core processor, the KC50 powers even the most processing-intensive applications. It comes with Zebra’s Mobility Extensions (Mx), allowing IT administrators to configure granular settings—like screen brightness and port access—remotely via their Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) system.

Interactive & Voice-Ready Future-proof your kiosk with voice capabilities. The KC50 includes two noise-canceling microphones and dual 1W speakers, ensuring audio clarity even in noisy stores. This hardware readiness allows you to integrate conversational digital assistants, giving customers a new way to ask for help without finding a staff member.
