The past few weeks, I introduced two blogs discussing the benefits of a mobile computer and a mobile printer in the retail industry. Now it’s time to put this information together and see where specifically a mobile point of sale (POS) solution would have the greatest benefit. Some retailers are best fit for a standalone,…
It’s easy to adopt old habits and stick with them – especially when they’re a part of a grand process such as checking out customers in a retail setting. For decades, that process consisted of a standalone computer next to a printer, as customers filed through the – sometimes long – lines to checkout. But…
I’ll be going on a much-needed vacation early next month, which calls for some new clothes for the trip. Something tells me that what I normally wear in Upstate New York won’t do me any favors for the Florida heat. Shopping at the mall last weekend, I found myself waiting in lines at the counter…
If you’re working in the field or in a warehouse, chances are you’re either looking for a reliable mobile computer or using one already. Empowering the workforce to get the job done efficiently and safely – isn’t that what mobile computers are meant to do? Those using mobile computers expect their devices to: Withstand…
I wrote recently of Zebra Technologies’ sponsorship of the 2014 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference at Boston’s Hynes Convention Center, specifically noting the participation of Jill Stelfox, Zebra Vice President and General Manager of its Location Solutions division, in the panel discussion, Big Data: Lessons for Sports.

CES (Consumer Electronics Show) wasn’t the only early-2014 tech show to feature wearables: The MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference (SSAC14) was held at Boston’s Hynes Convention Center in February, and it too featured a greater-than-ever emphasis on wearable technology. Although L-Tron partner, Zebra Technologies, is a relative newcomer to sports wearables, the company has a…
By October 2012, smartphones had reached 50% of the U.S. market. According to an October 29, 2013, report by The Nielsen Company, the third quarter of 2013 closed with overall smartphone penetration of 64.7%. Smartphone reach was even broader among young adults with 79% of those aged 18 through 24 using smartphones. A majority of…
Recent additions to Zebra Technologies’ extensive white paper library include a report prepared by the research firm of Frost & Sullivan entitled Seeking Sustainable Growth: Understanding the value real-time visibility technology brings to business and people. While the 12-page report covers a range of RTLS-related topics, including current and future scopes of the global RTLS…
When it comes to mobile computers, there are a wide variety of devices to choose from. Each task using mobile computers requires different features, sizes, and specs. Package tracking and logistics workers need to make sure that their mobile computers can scan barcodes, capture images, access internal software, integrate with current systems, and more. When…
As much as I love success stories, this one offers a twist I should have seen coming a mile away. Zebra Technologies is an industry leader in Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS), but what is an industry leader to do when faced with its own RTLS challenges? Zebra operates a 72,000-square foot distribution facility in…
