One Big Mobile Computer Family

The day has finally come. Your legacy Windows® operating system has reached its End of Life and its time for you to migrate your devices and solutions to Android™. The question is: do you hold on to some devices and replace others? Or do you overhaul the entire solution and start fresh. That’s a question everyone has to answer for themselves (with maybe a little help from the mobility experts at Mobile ID Solutions). But, whatever you choose, it’s good to know that Zebra has you covered with a complete edge-to-edge mobile portfolio, designed specifically for Android.

Zebra offers the products, solutions and services that intelligently connect people, assets and data. Their intelligent mobile computers, multi-tasking tablets, accurate scanners and steadfast printers integrate easily, pair instantly and talk freely to one another—making management, usage and sharing of critical information more effective and impactful.

While these devices are built to handle the demands of your toughest warehouse environments, they are also built for user comfort. You get reliable operation, even if the devices are dropped on concrete or used in driving rain, snow, summer heat, extreme winter cold, an industrial freezer or dusty warehouse. Each device is strong alone. Yet together, they make you unstoppable. Here’s a look at five key considerations for your new warehouse mobility solution and how they synchronize with Zebra’s Android offerings.

DATA CAPTURE

Speed and accuracy are the critical factors when scanning. Users may need to scan 1D and 2D barcodes, and the codes may be damaged, or distorted by shrink wrapping. Zebra’s Android devices can capture an entire document or multiple barcodes of data and automatically populate your existing systems quickly and accurately in a single scan.

POWER NEEDS

Power management goes beyond having a high capacity battery that could last a single shift. The power management capabilities within Android can enable longer battery life with fewer charges. And, with PowerPrecision Console, a Zebra Mobility DNA tool, you can identify and remove aging batteries from your battery pool before they impact workforce productivity.

TRAINING AND EASE OF USE

The more familiar the operating system, the faster users will get to know the capabilities of the device they are using. Training employees on a less-than-friendly interface can take time and at best can only be partially effective. As the world’s most popular operating system, Android will be familiar to most of your workforce, which means less training is required on the basics, and users can find the functions they need quickly and easily.

CONNECTIVITY AND QUALITY

When workers need to be able to access job related data or back-end systems on the move, Zebra’s robust WWAN/WLAN connections and seamless roaming can make all the difference. Take into account whether your workers will require only voice, only data, or a combination of the two. Then determine how the scale of the deployment might impact the range required for each. Will your system need to span one building, several buildings, a large industrial space and or support workers in the field?

TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

How much will your mobile device really cost? When you factor in the potential cost of worker downtime, accelerated replacement cycles, additional accessories, and the support needed for a successful implementation, the true costs of mobility go far beyond just the devices’ initial purchase price. Standardizing on Zebra’s Android devices eliminates much of the complexity of running a fleet of mobile devices, while the future-proofing further reduces TCO!
