Ergonomic, lightweight TC8000 mobile computers
saves up to an hour per shift in ASICS German and French
distribution centers
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), the market leader
in mobile computers, barcode scanners and barcode printers enhanced
with software and services to enable real-time enterprise
visibility, announced that ASICS Europe BV, the manufacturer of
true sport performance products, has increased productivity of its
European distribution center warehouse operators by one hour per
shift with Zebra TC8000 mobile computers.
KEY FACTS
- ASICS Europe BV warehouse operators are
saving time and cost with the multifunctional TC8000 device that
enables fast data capture during receiving / goods-in processes,
including hands-free proximity scanning, which reduces the time
spent moving products to capture data.
- Inventory management, packing and
shipping have become simpler, more comfortable and intuitive. The
lightweight TC8000's large screen and design that eliminates the
need to tilt and verify each scan, capturing barcodes, checkboxes,
text fields and signatures simultaneously, ultimately reducing
worker fatigue and injuries.
- Warehouse teams, who can make as many
as 2,400 scans in a shift, have reported increased comfort and
reduced strain and praise the device's crossed laser feature, which
allows them to scan from a wider range of angles.
- Device downtime is being slashed with a
‘triple-shift’ battery housed in the TC8000’s handle for a
comfortable center of gravity and is replaceable during a shift
without losing Wi-Fi connection.
- Training and onboarding new staff is
also easier via an intuitive interface, which eliminates “green
screen” terminal emulation (TE) with Zebra’s familiar Android-based
HTML 5-based apps, provides glove-friendly contextual on-screen
buttons and reduces click error and picking time.
- An enterprise-ready Android Operating
System allows ASICS Europe BV to explore a wider range of new
functions, such as voice interface, without sacrificing the
stability or security of legacy Windows CE software.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Ronald Plooij, Senior Distribution Manager, ASICS Europe
BV
“When our existing warehouse scanners were reaching the end of
their operational life, we wanted to select a mobile computer that
provided a truly comprehensive upgrade. Compared to other available
products, we found that the TC8000 offered the best mix of comfort,
ruggedness and longevity. Beyond the productivity increase we have
already seen, we have also had excellent feedback from users
regarding its ergonomic, lightweight design and serviceability. We
are very pleased with our return on investment.”
Casper Zweers, Sales Director Benelux, Zebra
Technologies
“Like ASICS Europe BV, we appreciate that designing a superior
product - from a sports shoe to an enterprise mobile computer -
means keeping the human body in mind. The TC8000 emerged from our
efforts to create the most efficient, feature-loaded mobile
computer that meaningfully improves every aspect of warehouse work,
including associate wellness. We are pleased to help ASICS Europe
BV unlock significant improvements across its European warehouses,
both in terms of productivity and real-time operational
visibility.”
