LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.,
Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Zebra
Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global leader in
providing solutions and services that give enterprises real-time
visibility into their operations, helped Canadian-based medical
marijuana producer, Aphria Inc. create a seamless end-to-end
solution for regulatory compliance, real-time visibility and data
integrity. Ample Organics, a Zebra partner, provided the ERP
seed-to-sale system integrated with Zebra hardware.
KEY FACTS
- The Ample Organics ERP system functions with Zebra products
like the MC3200™ mobile computer, ZT220™ industrial printer,
GK420D™ and ZD410 label printers plus ZXP1 patient ID
printers.
- Health Canada – the Canadian
Government's public health department – regulates the medical
marijuana industry and conducts frequent on-site inspections making
visibility into the growing process imperative.
- A patient order comes in through customer service or online via
the Ample Organics e-commerce portal, and the Zebra MC3200 mobile
computers help employees find, pick, label, and pack each order
efficiently while automating compliance related tasks.
- All data is collected and stored in real-time within the Ample
Organics system, which is essential for frequent Health Canada
inspections.
- The data collected in the Ample Organics' system - using
Zebra's mobile computer along with its label and card printers -

occur.

"We needed
enterprise-grade equipment that could stand up to the rigors of a
greenhouse where you are dealing with dirt, water, and a concrete
floor. We knew we needed to quickly, efficiently generate all
inventory tags and barcodes to scan contextually and save on
efficiencies. The only way to do that was with Zebra
Technologies. We wouldn't have the industry-leading software
solution we have without Zebra standing behind us."
