With the continued adoption of mobility and the Internet of
Things (IoT), the edge of enterprise operations are becoming
increasingly connected. This unprecedented, growing level of
connectivity is generating vast amounts of actionable data about
processes and assets that can be leveraged to transform workflows
to improve business performance and outcomes. Savanna provides a
means for Zebra, its partners and customers to build applications
that make use of this edge data in near real-time to mobilize
insight and actions that deliver new levels of service,
productivity and profitability.
KEY FACTS
- Savanna is comprised of IoT end-point
connectivity, configuration management, data transport, data
storage, analytics and machine learning components.
- With enhanced and secure device
connectivity, Savanna gives organizations the power to gain
insights at the edge of its operations - ensuring the right data is
available to the right people at the right time, giving them the
power and informed intelligence to make the best decisions.
- As an open, centralized data platform
designed to empower enterprise applications, Savanna will power
Zebra® data-driven solutions along with applications and solutions
built by Zebra partners.
- Zebra has also launched a Savanna
platform early adopter program, selecting five partners to

using edge data and associated insights from Savanna. Savanna’s

become more intelligent enterprises, including:
- Asset Visibility Service
(AVS)/Operational Visibility Service (OVS) gives customers and
partners important insights and visibility into the health, usage
and performance of their Zebra devices to help optimize business
operations;
- SmartLens™ for Retail turns an entire
store into a “smart store” that automatically senses and records
the location and movement of virtually everything in the store,
allowing data to become actionable intelligence; and
- SmartPack™ Trailer creates the most
intelligent loading environments in the world by providing
real-time visibility into loading processes to increase efficiency,
allowing support for higher delivery volumes.
