Ease of use design of TC51 touch computer
appeals to medical innovator
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), the market leader
in rugged mobile computers, barcode scanners and barcode printers
enhanced with software and services to enable real-time enterprise
visibility, announced Medline has chosen Zebra’s TC51 touch
computer for its warehouse operations as part of an upgrade for its
voice-directed picking solution. Zebra Premier Solution Partner,
Strategic Mobility Group, helped Medline select the TC51 to improve
warehouse picking, increase employee productivity and future proof
its enterprise with an Android-based device.
KEY FACTS
- The TC51 touch computer paired with
Zebra’s HS3100 Rugged Bluetooth headset will help Medline quickly
and efficiently process more outbound customer orders with its
voice-directed picking solution. Workers will be able to move
freely without a wired headset as orders are processed.
- Medline uses Lucas Move from Zebra
Premier Solution Partner Lucas Systems for voice-directed picking,
the mobile component of the Lucas Mobile Work Execution Solutions.
The TC51 touch computer is the first Android-based industrial
computer certified for Lucas Move.
- The TC51 touch computer is part of
Zebra’s industry leading Android™ OS portfolio and enables Medline
to move its warehouse teams seamlessly to an Android OS as Windows
CE support ends in 2020.
- Ease of use design of the TC51 touch
computer also appealed to Medline for its front-line warehouse
workers. The TC51 delivers the look and feel of a smartphone with
the ruggedness, security and durability of an enterprise
device.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Paul Ancona, VP Engineering Operations, Medline
“The TC51 functions like a smartphone with the ruggedness of an
industrial device. That was a critical differentiator for us and
makes it easy to deploy across our warehouse branches where we
already have seen an increase in productivity. It also offers us
Android OS which we wanted to future proof our technology.”
Joe White, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Mobile
Computing, Zebra Technologies
“The TC51 has been successful globally because it is built with
an industrial design that feels like the most popular
consumer-style smartphones but works in the enterprise. Pairing it
with the HS3100 Rugged Bluetooth Headset ensures high-quality voice
performance with the power and security Medline needs.”
