Key takeaways:

• Zebra‘s new Aurora Velocity scan tunnel ensures efficient, error-free package sorting and routing to drive automated warehouse operations. Velocity uses centralized processing to deliver exceptional barcode reading performance at high speeds, while its scalable architecture makes it easy to combine multiple machine vision capabilities in a single scan tunnel. These capabilities include dimensioning, AI-powered HAZMAT/Dangerous Goods label detection, optical character recognition (OCR), and package damage inspection. Furthermore, Velocity can seamlessly integrate additional functionality such as RFID, weighing, and print and apply.
• WS501 is the latest addition to Zebra’s wearable technology offerings. This Android mobile computer is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and supports multiple applications with unlimited mobile computing, scanning, communication, and collaboration capabilities.
• Zebra Guardian is an integrated solution with four components for fleets of mobile computers. It provides secure device log-in, access control, device recovery, and loss and theft prevention, ensuring employees always have ready-to-use devices. Identity Guardian uses facial biometrics and SSO for convenient access, and Device Guardian offers cloud-based visibility for quick recovery. Device Guardian Access Management provides real-time charging status while Guardian Cabinets securely store and charge devices, optimizing management and efficiency across the portfolio.
• Zebra Tread Intel automates tire tread depth measurements. Designed to work with Zebra’s TC78 and TC58e rugged mobile computers, this solution utilizes Zebra OCR Wedge optical recognition software to capture essential data, enhance passenger safety and improve efficiency in vehicle fleet operations.
