No matter what business you’re in, an inefficient device leads to an inefficient operation. Monitoring your devices and quickly identifying issues is a good way to combat this, but when you have a large fleet, this can seem like an impossibly daunting task. That’s why Zebra is proud to announce the launch of VisibilityIQ™ Foresight for scanners.

As 2022 draws to a close, businesses are looking to stay on top of any upcoming trends. The label and packaging business is no exception, and with 2023 looming on the horizon, it’s more important than ever to know what to expect. Here are five trends to keep an eye on in 2023.

The MP7000 makes full use of Zebra’s Intelligent Illumination system, which turns the scanner’s LED on only when something passes in front of it. When not in use, the scanner enters sleep mode. As a result, the MP7000 uses up to 60% less power than competing bioptic imagers and up to 30% less than competing laser-based checkout scanners.

A memorable custom label is vital in building brand awareness. However, for some small businesses, having custom labels printed by a third party simply isn’t in the budget. Even if your business can afford it, you may want to cut down on correspondence time. Fortunately, Microsoft Word makes creating custom label templates simple.

Zebra Aurora™ is an elegant, versatile application that combines enterprise-wide management tools in one place. The recent Zebra Aurora™ update takes the already useful software and makes it even more versatile.

Barcode scanners are an integral part of any barcode system. Because they’re so vital, it’s no surprise that many different models have come out over the years: rugged, wearable, fixed mount, presentation and more. While it’s easy to sift through the more specialized scanners when purchasing one - a self-serve checkout doesn’t need a wearable ring scanner, after all - you may find yourself stuck when choosing between more basic configurations, such as corded or cordless scanners.

Zebra Techologies’ ZQ600 Plus series of mobile printers takes mobile printing and elevates it to the next level. With advanced technology, an innovative design, and a host of useful features, it only makes sense to purchase one - or more - for your business. Here are five reasons why you should get a ZQ600 Plus series printer.

Honeywell is proud to introduce the CT30 XP HC Mobile Computer. The CT30 XP is a durable all-purpose tool, capable of accessing patient information with the tap of a button and enabling both easy communication and scanning.

After April 30th, 2023, BarTender 2016 will no longer be supported. Seagull Scientific encourages its users to update their software in accordance with their lifecycle schedule; therefore, if you haven’t upgraded to BarTender 2022 already, you should do so as quickly as possible.

Barcode Factory is proud to bring you the Honeywell CW45 Wearable Computer. The CW45 is a rugged, reliable mobile computer that fits comfortably on the arm, streamlining your workflow and allowing you to carry out tasks with both hands free.

Zebra is proud to reveal the TC53 and TC58 Mobile Computers. The rugged devices are the newest in Zebra mobile computer technology, perfect for front-line workers in retail, field service, logistics and more. With a rugged frame, durable battery and lightning-fast cellular speeds, you’ll be kicking off the new year with levels of productivity you never thought possible.

In times like these, healthcare professionals need technology they can trust. They need devices that are efficient, versatile, durable, and most importantly, easy to clean. In times like these, the choice is simple: Zebra’s ET4x-HC Healthcare Tablets, available at Barcode Factory.

The Unitech TB170 Rugged Tablet is a rugged tablet that combines advanced technology and durability, all housed in one of Unitech’s lightest and slimmest rugged tablet designs to date. It’s perfect for warehouses, manufacturing, field service and any other work environment that requires ruggedness.

The ET4X Presentation Stand allows you to mount and configure tablets for check-in systems, self-service kiosks, price checkers, point-of-sale stations and other setups. Your employees can enjoy the benefits of a work-optimized tablet while having both their hands free for other tasks. The versatile Presentation Stand is perfect for retail, healthcare, hospitality and other work environments.

As technology advances, so do cyber attacks. In the third quarter of 2022 alone, approximately 15 million data records were exposed through data breaches. When guarding your network against hackers, your first thought may be to focus on your computers. However, there’s another way for hackers to access your information: your printer.

If you’re purchasing a printer or tablet, it’s a good idea to get a service contract with it. A service contract can cover tech support, repairs and even replacement parts, depending on what the plan covers. Without one, you’ll be financially responsible for every part of your device’s repair or replacement, regardless of how or when it happened.

Thermal printers are an essential tool for many businesses. They allow you to print barcode labels, receipts and more, all in the comfort of your own building. It’s natural to want to get as much use as possible out of your printer before you move on to the next one; however, it’s important to know when to cut your losses.

Mobile technology is an ever-evolving industry. With standards for speed and accuracy always increasing, it’s crucial to have mobile devices that are able to keep up with your business’s needs. That’s why Zebra Technologies is proud to introduce the TC73 and TC78 mobile computers.

Tracking your assets is a crucial part of any industry. Misplacing or miscounting inventory or corporate assets can cost you time, money and peace of mind. Barcode tracking systems have made taking inventory much easier in recent years, but it’s possible to take it one step further. To that end, many businesses are implementing RFID tracking systems.

If you’re a business that wants to have individual information close at hand, or a venue that needs to know who did and didn’t pay for their entry, consider Zebra scannable wristbands.
