Next-generation mobile computers have long been essential in today's fast-paced supply chains. Mobile computers have almost become the face of current modernization efforts, from minimizing repetitive tasks to facilitating real-time data sharing. While familiar devices such as Zebra's long-lasting Series may still provide dependable performance, newer models empower operations with quick adaptability to reshape workflows in the event of unexpected challenges such as demand spikes and shortages. Five recognition for the Mobile Computer - The familiar Android interface – Legacy TE applications and green-screen platforms are becoming more difficult to adopt as younger generations enter the workforce, increasing training costs and the risk of user error. Through All-Touch Terminal Emulation, Android's familiar touchscreen platform facilitates employee onboarding and reshapes green-screen apps to the touchscreen interface, reducing keystrokes for fewer manual data entry errors. Adaptability to your specific workflow – Unique workflows, such as trailer loading or cold chain, may necessitate special device features to reduce the risk of a breakdown. To maximize uptime in any work environment, It can be customized with advanced scanning engine options, freezer-ready screens, and non-incentive models. Flexible scanning options – Provides a variety of scanning capabilities for long-range data capture as far as 70 feet, omnidirectional scanning, and a DPM model for faster scanning speeds to reduce the need for time-consuming rescans. Additional data capture applications give workers more power by allowing them to capture multiple barcodes at once with a single trigger pull. Strong data security – With Microsoft's support for Windows CE ending, legacy devices running unsupported operating systems are more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Not only do Zebra's handheld computers rely on Android's ongoing support, but Zebra LifeGuard adds an extra layer of security with 90-day security patches and government-grade encryption to keep files safe while still allowing them to be shared across your network. Performance applications that can be scaled up – Zebra's Mobility DNA apps improve data capture workflows, visibility, and device management from the inside out, resulting in higher productivity gains. Next-generation handhelds can streamline disparate vital workflows through one platform, from uninterrupted WiFi connectivity to built-in device trackers. Furthermore, because it is based on Android's open app ecosystem, it can support new apps in addition to Zebra's Mobility DNA for improved usability without requiring extensive backend rewriting. Simply put, next-generation mobile computers offer warehouses several optimization options for keeping up with rising customer demands. In addition to the features listed above, Zebra's extensive mobile device portfolio offers unique features that help supply chains improve visibility, ease of use, and productivity.
