I wrote recently about Zebra’s introduction of a newly enhanced version of its HC100 Wristband Printer line, but mentioned only in passing the unique cartridge-loaded Z-Band wristbands that the printers deliver. Z-Band wristbands are available in a number solution-specific of configurations, including antimicrobial-coated bands designed specifically for patient identification. Because those of us who are…
It isn’t everyday that I read about industrial-computing products in popular consumer-tech blogs, so I was thrilled when I stumbled across Engadget’s announcement of Honeywell’s new Dolphin 70e Black ruggedized smartphone. Although only announced by Honeywell as recently as October 23, 2012, this new creation has already been trumpeted by Engadget, the U.K.’s Phones Review,…
How do you improve class-leading label printers that are already efficient, user-friendly and durable? By significantly extending battery performance using two distinct strategies. First, Zebra’s industry-first (PSPT) manages energy output to the thermal print heads, allotting less energy to print plates that are already heated rather than wasting redundant power on those plates. PSPT is…
Like most of us, I get so caught up in day-to-day job challenges that it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture, and I got a reminder of that bigger picture recently while watching a favorite medical drama. There in state-of-the-art, make-believe operating theater was an actor using a touch-panel display that looked awfully…
Zebra Technologies’ Legacy HC100 wristband printer set the standard for ease of use, while producing readable, long-lasting barcodes and text at print speeds of up to 2 inches (51 mm) per second. The newly enhanced HC100 printer doubles that maximum output to up to 4 inches (102 mm) per second, while retaining the accuracy, ease…
An acquaintance is designing a home-brew Segway-style single-wheel vehicle and needed to integrate a 3-axis gyro and an accelerometer. He could have designed custom circuitry for this application, but sometimes the optimum solution is also the easiest, which was the iPod touch he already had on hand. As he described this solution, I was reminded…
Advantech recently announced a new range of industrial monitors that use the DisplayPort interface. DisplayPort offers a number of advantages to the industrial-computing arena, including being an open-standard, royalty-free format that is uniquely scalable and efficient. DP operates across cable connections of up to 15 meters in length without requiring signal boosters, while supporting resolution-intensive…
The more years I spend in the industrial arena, the more I’ve come to appreciate the resources provided by the companies that supply the services and equipment that are the lifeblood of this industry. Zebra Technologies offers numerous white-papers as an on-line resource for IT pros. Take for example, Zebra’s Benefiting From Bedside Specimen Labeling,…
A picture, a thousand words … or a video? I’ve written thousands of words and will undoubtedly write thousands more about the remarkable durability of Honeywell barcode scanners and mobile computers. But, if a single picture is worth a thousand words, what can we learn from a 1-minute 24-second video? Rather than take my word…
For most of us who’ve been involved in this industry for any length of time, it’s easy to think of Zebra Technologies first as a source for barcode printers. Indeed, the company’s presence in that important industry category is so huge that its wide experience with location solutions is sometimes overshadowed. But, I was reminded…
