Labeling needs in industrial environments are becoming increasingly flexible. Labels need to be created quickly, directly at the point of work, and without complicated setup processes – whether in production, maintenance, warehousing, or laboratory environments. The new BradyPrinter i4311 from Brady is designed specifically for these challenges, combining the performance of a benchtop printer with the mobility of a portable device.
Industrial Printing Wherever You Need It
The BradyPrinter i4311 stands out with its portable and battery-powered design. It allows users to print labels directly on-site without requiring a fixed workstation or continuous power connection.
With a print width of up to 4 inches (101.6 mm), the printer supports a wider range of industrial applications compared to traditional mobile printers. Typical applications include:
- Cable and wire marking
- Equipment and asset labels
- Work-in-progress labels
- GHS chemical labels
- Rating plates and technical identification labels
This gives companies the flexibility to bring labeling exactly where operations take place.
Powerful Battery and Reduced Downtime
The printer is designed for demanding industrial use. A single battery charge supports printing up to 5,000 larger labels, while a full recharge takes approximately 3.5 hours.
The i4311 also supports fast battery replacement to minimize downtime. An integrated power-saving mode helps extend battery life when the printer is idle.
Connectivity for Modern Industrial Workflows
The BradyPrinter i4311 supports multiple connectivity options:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- Ethernet
- USB-C
The printer can be operated from smartphones, tablets, and laptops, making it suitable for mobile workflows and distributed production environments.
Additionally, the printer integrates into existing systems through Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) support and software development kits (SDK). This makes it ideal for automated labeling and traceability solutions.
Smart User Experience Directly on the Device
The printer features a large 7-inch touchscreen that allows users to create and print labels without a computer. Up to 85,000 label templates can be stored directly on the device for quick access and editing.
This is especially useful for maintenance work, field operations, and manufacturing environments where direct access to central systems may be limited.
Automatic Setup and Wide Material Compatibility
The BradyPrinter i4311 is compatible with more than 1,300 Brady labeling materials. Integrated LabelSense™ technology automatically recognizes the loaded material and configures the correct print settings without manual adjustments.
This helps to:
- Reduce setup errors
- Speed up workflows
- Ensure consistent print quality
The printer also supports Brady mobile applications that enable features such as:
- Barcode scanning with a smartphone
- Text extraction from images
- Voice-controlled printing with BradyVoice
Designed for Real Industrial Environments
The printer’s design is based on feedback from industrial users. Its durable construction, ergonomic handle, and easy battery replacement make it practical for both manufacturing and maintenance applications.
Despite its compact size, the i4311 delivers the reliability and performance expected from an industrial printer.
Modern Labeling Without Compromise
The BradyPrinter i4311 helps companies make labeling more flexible, faster, and better integrated into modern industrial workflows. It is an ideal solution for businesses looking to improve traceability, reduce manual processes, and bring labeling closer to operations.
