It has become increasingly popular for stores and mobile employees to now use smartphones and/or tablets as an efficient method of completing consumer transactions. This trend is of no surprise based on the estimated number of shipments for tablets and mobile phones in 2013 at just over 2 million! However, with so many smartphone and…
International Data Corporation, a worldwide market-analysis provider, estimates current global waste in manufacturing supply chains at $900 billion. Modern supply chains literally involve countless moving targets, each of which must be hit to achieve optimum efficiency. The complexity of delivering on-time, every-time at minimum cost amid constant change can be staggering, if not seemingly impossible….
A new trend in the healthcare industry is for organizations to implement a barcode labeling system to keep track of products. In such tracking applications, barcode labels and scanners go together like immunizations and disease outbreaks. You cannot have one without the other. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control found an efficient solution when it…
For more than 20 years, the same doctor served as my general practitioner, and during those years the medical records he maintained on me were all on paper and grew from a few pages in a single folder to an impressively-thick stack of pages bound in that same folder. He not only knew my medical…
Hundreds of skis, thousands of people, and billions of dollars worth of assets – what do they have in common? All of the above and more have been carefully monitored and tracked for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. For security and logistical purposes, the Olympic committee needed to stay in control of what – and…
One of the most famous taglines in modern technology is Apple’ trademarked, “There’s an app for that,” a phrase that brilliantly captures the defining app-centric characteristic of modern mobile computing. Savvy developers know the advantages of delivering new technology in application formats and interfaces with which clients are already familiar, competent and comfortable, and Zebra…
The use of RFID has been substantially beneficial in a wide range of applications. From inventory tracking to logistics, RFID allows for faster tracking on assets while saving money at the same time. For those who haven’t incorporated RFID technology into their daily operations, I would strongly suggest it. Rather than scanning barcodes, RFID technology…
We’ve written extensively about the importance to patient safety of rigorous identification protocols, and implementation of the patient wristbands is key to most such strategies. But strapping an ID band – any ID band – on your patients’ wrists does not, in and of itself, ensure their safety. As Zebra Technologies explores in its recent…
Although Zebra Technologies had long since established its position as a world-class provider of patient-identification tools, it recently strengthened its already formidable patient-ID solutions by entering a strategic alliance with LifeMed ID, Inc. This symbiotic alliance integrates LifeMed ID’s unique Cloud-based patient-authentication systems with Zebra’s secure printers to achieve even greater certainty and efficiency to…
I’ve written previously about deployment of Zebra Technologies real-time locating systems (RTLS) solutions in the critical flight-line operations of the aerospace and defense industries, but aerospace and defense applications go well beyond the flight-line. For example, Zebra’s RTLS solutions were incorporated by Robins Air Force Base in Georgia to provide real-time asset visibility in a…
