ID3s: Battery-Powered Mobile Workstation for Labs & Packaging Areas

Some mobile workstations are built for GMP cleanrooms — the ID3s is made for the important spaces outside them.

Developed as a flexible solution for clean areas such as labs, packaging lines, and warehouse settings, the ID3s brings the core functionality of the ID3 model, with upgrades that make it ideal for pharmaceutical production where full cleanroom classification isn’t always required.

What is the ID3s?

The ID3s is a battery-powered mobile workstation designed for clean production environments across pharmaceutical labs, packaging zones, and warehouses. It houses its batteries and electronics internally, features a stainless steel base with a grey pod system, and supports both single and dual-screen configurations.

It’s suitable for operators, lab technicians, scientists, and packaging teams who require real-time software access, including LIMS in labs or procedural software in packaging, at the point of work.

Key Features of the ID3s:

• Stainless steel base: Durable and easy to clean, ideal for labs, packaging, and warehousing environments
• Grey pod system: Contains internal batteries and electronics, with a removable design for easy maintenance.
• Single or dual-screen setup: Vertically stacked screen options depending on the workflow
• Fixed internal Pro Durance batteries: Choose one or two (250 or 500 watt-hour), charged via plug-in. No hot-swapping
• Supports barcode scanners & label printers: Integrated options for labs and packaging areas.
• Real-time IT access: Compatible with a wide range of systems, including LIMS and procedural software.
• Electronic height adjustment: Built-in adjustability for improved user comfort.
• Battery display: Shows charge level and runtime directly on the front of the unit.

Where is the ID3s used?

• Pharmaceutical labs: Supporting LIMS software use, sample tracking, and documentation.
• Packaging areas: Batch labelling, barcode scanning, and procedural compliance.
• Warehouses and clean support areas: Digital visibility for materials and operator SOPs.

Its flexibility allows deployment in clean but non-GMP zones, with some customers even using it in cleanrooms depending on internal standards.

Who Uses the ID3s?

The ID3s supports a range of roles across pharmaceutical production areas that don’t require full GMP-grade equipment:

• Lab Technicians & Scientists: Use the ID3s for LIMS software, sample tracking, and procedural work
• Packaging Teams: Access software tools, scan barcodes, and print batch labels on the go.
• Operators & Process Staff: Follow SOPs and track workflows in real time across labs and packaging zones
• IT & Automation Engineers: Integrate and maintain micro-PCs or thin clients using familiar IT systems.
• Procurement and Lab Managers: Value its flexibility, cleanability, and ease of setup across sites.

How does it compare to the ID5s and ID6s?

The ID3s shares design elements with other Kinetic ID workstations but is optimised for a different class of environment

• Usage context: ID5s and ID6s are intended for GMP cleanrooms. The ID3s supports labs, packaging, and clean support areas.
• Material: Stainless steel base with grey HIPS pod system, compared to the fully enclosed stainless steel design of ID5s and ID6s.
• Battery system: Uses fixed internal Pro Durance batteries (same as ID9s), charged via plug-in. ID5s and ID6s use hot-swappable Circadian batteries.
• Screen & adjustability: Like other models, the ID3s supports dual screens and electronic height adjustment.

Why Choose the ID3s?

For pharmaceutical teams operating outside GMP-classified cleanrooms: in labs, packaging lines, or warehousing, the ID3s brings together mobility, cleanability, and ergonomic flexibility.

• Built for daily use in real-world lab and packaging environments.
• Real-time software access where LIMS, SOPs, or label printing is required.
• Internal power system that reduces maintenance and avoids hot-swapping.
• Modular integrations that support barcode scanners, printers, and micro PCs.
• Easy to maintain with a removable pod system and front battery display.

Battery Technology: Fixed Internal Pro Durance Power

The ID3s uses the same reliable Pro Durance battery system trusted in our ID9s unit:

• 250 or 500 watt-hour options to match usage needs.
• Internally fixed batteries that charge via standard plug-in.
• No hot-swapping required – fewer moving parts and simpler power management.
