LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.,
Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global
leader in providing solutions and services that give enterprises
real-time visibility into their operations, announced today that
CRN,® a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized
Zebra's 3600 Ultra-Rugged series of barcode scanners with a 2016
CRN Tech Innovator Award. These annual awards honor standout
hardware, software or services that have helped move the IT
industry forward. In compiling the 2016 Tech Innovator Award list,
CRN editors evaluated 230 products across 27 technology categories
using several criteria, including technological advancements,
uniqueness of features and potential to help solution providers
solve end users' IT challenges. The 3600 Ultra-Rugged series took
top honors in the Internet of Things (IoT)
category.
In manufacturing plants, warehouses, outdoor yards and seaports,
business success relies on scanners in workers' hands. Delivering
the right products to the right customer on time depends on the
fast, accurate capture of barcodes. The purpose-built 3600 series
offers the industry's highest drop, tumble and sealing
specifications in its class along with the industry's first
IP67-rated scanner capable of enduring complete water immersion for
up to 30 minutes. With corded or cordless models that provide
superior scanning performance on any barcode in practically any
condition, its powerful multi-code feature captures up to 20
barcodes with a single press of the trigger.
"Zebra is honored to be recognized as a 2016 Tech Innovator for
the 3600 series," said Bob Sanders,
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Data Capture
Solutions, Zebra. "The 3600 series was built to exceed industry
standards for durability, scan performance and manageability,
enabling customers to benefit from innovative hardware and software
features that improve worker productivity and reduce the total cost
of ownership of mobility solutions."
"CRN recognizes vendor offerings that excel in increasing worker
productivity, reducing cost, and minimizing complexity for solution
providers, IT departments and end users through innovation and
technical advancement," said Robert
Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "From cloud to data
