Company to showcase the industry’s smallest
back-of-hand scanner, new wearable computers and autonomous mobile
robots, enabling workers to streamline productivity
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a leading digital
solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect
data, assets, and people, today announced new enterprise mobile
computing and intelligent automation solutions designed to enable
an agile, resilient supply chain with the power of a connected
workforce. Zebra will highlight its expanded portfolio of solutions
at MODEX 2024 Booth B6623 in the Georgia World Congress Center –
Hall B, March 11-14 in Atlanta, Ga.
Operations leaders in the manufacturing, warehouse, retail, and
transportation and logistics industries worldwide continue to
grapple with fostering resilient supply chains amid heightened
omnichannel demands for speed and accuracy, ongoing labor
shortages, and economic uncertainty. Recognizing the criticality of
an optimized supply chain, 89% of decision-makers surveyed in
Zebra’s 2023 Global Warehouse Study say if their organizations do
not invest in technology to improve operations, they will not meet
their business objectives.
“Managing the supply chain has become more complex with
increased consumer expectations for inventory and same-day
deliveries,” said Andre Luecht, Global Strategy Lead,
Transportation, Logistics and Warehousing, Zebra Technologies.
“Zebra helps businesses work in new ways with technology and
automation to drive the right outcomes in their operations and
build an agile supply chain through better accuracy, visibility,
and efficiency.”
Connected Frontline Workers Drive Productivity According
to Zebra’s study, eight in 10 decision-makers and frontline workers
said using more technology and automation would help meet or exceed
productivity goals. In addition, decision-makers (54%) and workers
(49%) agree addressing worker comfort and ergonomics is a top
workforce initiative.
At MODEX, visitors will see how Zebra’s new RS2100 wearable
scanner – the industry’s smallest back-of-hand (BOH) scanner –
enhances productivity and delivers new levels of comfort to
workers. The unique mount on the RS2100 leaves the palm completely
unobstructed, providing greater freedom to handle items.
Zebra will also launch the WT6400 and WT5400 wearable computers.
Engineered to streamline hands-free workflows while enhancing
comfort, the WT6400 and WT5400 provide more flexibility for picking
orders, sorting items, and managing inventory with greater
efficiency and accuracy. With a larger display and integrated
keyboard, the WT6400 is easily accessible for right- and
left-handed workers, and its integrated angled camera captures
images to document damaged items or completed tasks. The WT6400 is
designed for demanding environments, including freezer operation
(-30°C), while the WT5400 introduces a new class of wearable
computers for hands-free retail workflows.
A new addition to Zebra’s TC5X series are the
TC53e/TC58e/TC53e-RFID mobile computers. Designed to meet today’s
latest standards, the TC5Xe series offers 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, integrated
RFID, premium security features and contains 25% post-consumer
recycled plastic by mass. The TC53e-RFID offers integrated
short-range UHF RFID, enabling associates to take inventory in the
backroom, validate tickets at a concert or verify all items in a
shopping cart from up to nearly 4 ft/1.2m away with the same device
ergonomics as the standard TC53e.
The TC5Xe series, WT6400 and WT5400 are all powered by the
Qualcomm® QCM4490 processor and Qualcomm® QCS4490 processor which
provide long lifecycles and more processing power compared to
previous generations. These devices can run multiple applications
including apps powered by augmented reality and AI, apps designed
for voice and line of business as well as simple ‘green screen’
legacy apps.
“We are excited to be a part of the next evolution of Zebra’s
TC5Xe series and new WT6400 and WT5400 wearable computers,” said
Art Miller, Vice President, Business Development & Global Head
of Retail IoT, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Our collaboration with
Zebra equips front-line workers with intelligent computing,
enabling them to be more efficient and more productive.”
Beyond its new wearables and mobile computers, Zebra will also
showcase its recently launched MC9400 series, the ultra-rugged
mobile computer designed to enhance workflow efficiency and device
security across the retail, warehouse, manufacturing, and
transportation and logistics industries.
Intelligent Automation Advances New Ways of Working
Automation is a top technology-led priority for manufacturing
leaders, and augmenting front-line workers is key. Zebra will
unveil enhancements to the Fetch100 autonomous mobile robots (AMR)
at MODEX including the Fetch100 Roller Guide Autonomous Mobile
Robot which combines simplified worker-robot collaboration and
conveyer delivery into one solution. Workers can easily see tasks,
destinations and status via the Roller Guide’s integrated
touchscreen and smart LEDs. Its ability to autonomously load and
unload totes and bins from existing mechanized equipment - such as
conveyors - increases worker productivity.
Together with its channel partners, Zebra will also demonstrate
several machine vision-based solutions at the show. These flexible,
“ready solutions” enable businesses to do everything from simple
track-and-trace operations to complex quality inspection checks to
deep-learning-based optical character reading (DL-OCR) of
manufacturing work in process. Scan tunnel, dock door and packing
bench demos will highlight the efficacy of Zebra’s fixed industrial
scanner and machine vision technology in reducing errors as well as
improving productivity, visibility and overall operational
efficiency.
Zebra executives and industry thought leaders will participate
in two speaking sessions including:
- Proximity: How Just-in-Time Everything Transforms Business,
Society, and Our Lives, presented by Tom Bianculli, Chief
Technology Officer, Zebra Technologies, and Professor Robert C.
Wolcott, Co-Author of Proximity, How Coming Breakthroughs in
Just-in-Time Transform Business, Society and Daily Life. Tuesday,
March 12, at 12:45 pm – 1:30 pm, Theater H. Listen to this podcast

- Making Modern Warehousing a Reality, presented by Andre
Luecht, Global Strategy Lead, Transport, Logistics and Warehousing,
