That page also notes that Honeywell's Productivity Solutions and Services business is now part of Brady Corporation. See our post on what the Brady acquisition means for repair and support.
What end of support does and does not mean
- It does not stop the device from working or scanning.
- After the date, Honeywell no longer provides service and support for the CK75, so manufacturer repair and support options end.
- The CK75 shipped with Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 or Android 6, according to Honeywell's product page; both are older platforms, so check that your applications and security requirements still fit before running a fleet on them long term.
Your three options
- Keep the fleet running with independent repair. Common CK75 repairs include battery and charging problems, scan engine faults, cracked screens and touch faults, trigger and keypad wear, and housing damage. Red Barcode Planet offers a free diagnostic, No Fix No Fee, a 90-day parts and labor warranty, published flat-rate pricing from $99, and 48-hour turnaround on most repairs. See our Honeywell CK75 repair page or use the quote form.
- Replace gradually. Move the units that fail most first and keep healthy ones in service. Honeywell lists the CK65 as the CK75's replacement, and Honeywell's CK67 FAQ names the CK67 as the upgrade for the CK65 and says it is designed to be backward compatible with most CK65 accessories. Confirm current availability and support dates with Brady or your reseller.
- Bridge with refurbished units. See our refurbished Honeywell CK65 page.
A simple way to decide
Count your units and note which ones fail most. Then compare the repair cost per unit with the replacement cost for the same unit. You can run the numbers in our free repair-vs-replace calculator.
