The answer is: GO Zebra Trade-In. With this program you can “swap setbacks for savings” by trading in old equipment for rebates towards new equipment. 

​TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE GO ZEBRA TRADE-IN PROGRAM?

​Think of how when you are ready to upgrade your phone or turn in your leased or used vehicle. You’ve been using them for a while. They were great when you first bought them, but over time their functionality has been reduced by normal ware-and-tear not to mention their technology is now outdated. You want the newer model, but you know there’s a cost associated. Unless there’s an exchange program that assists with those new costs. GO Zebra Trade-In program is essentially the same arrangement but with your enterprise’s devices (think tablets and scanners, as examples). You bring in your old devices (regardless of brand, by the way), and Zebra gives you a cash rebate to put towards the purchase of new devices. Additionally, Zebra then recycles the old devices, thereby reducing landfill waste. As they put it, it’s a “win for you, your wallet, and the environment.”

WHAT EXACTLY CAN I RETRUN AND GET A REBATE FOR?​

WHAT IS THE PROCESS? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?​

Zebra recognizes that staying ahead of your competition requires mobile computers and tablets that are beyond their predecessors’ class of intelligence. Those computers and tablets need to be able to shave time off processes, assist in better decision-making, and stand up to the daily grind. All of this is why Zebra has a list of eligible mobile computers and tablets that you can get a rebate for when you turn in your old ones. Similarly, you need scanners that are ready for action in the production line, hospital or stock room, etc. Your scanners need to capture data the first time and every time after. As such, Zebra has included in its Trade-In program the exchange of qualified scanners for the next generation of scanners.

It's time. Out with the old and in with the new. ​

Who knows just how much downtime all those old devices and technology have really been costing you? Even without the exact figures, you know the benefits to having updated devices is invaluable to your business operations. Rather than worry about the cost, figure out how many devices you may have to trade in and what that translates to in rebates to put toward newer and better technology. You can head here to submit a form and see how much you can save by using the GO Zebra Trade-In Program or contact us and we can help you.

Automotive Industry Use Case 

Incorporating a total wearable scanning solution can provide valuable savings that add up quickly. An automotive plant can build upwards of 1,000 vehicles a day, with each vehicle requiring approximately 1,000 scans. Every second saved per scan can equal a total savings of 1,000,000 seconds per day, coming out to roughly 12 working days in one business day.

Wearable solutions can also help employees by minimizing the steps to scan and move items. For example, an employee needs to scan a 20-pound brake rotor. Using a scanner terminal, the employee picks up the scanner, scans the item, puts the scanner down, picks the item up, and places it onto a cart or pallet. A ring scanner eliminates the need to pick up and put down the scanner terminal.

Omnichannel Warehouse Use Case

Consumer Products Use Case

From the front of a store to the back, wearable technology is great for consumer product businesses. Backroom complexities can be lowered using all-in-one swappable batteries. One consumer products company went from only using handheld terminals to a completely wearable solution due to the increase in ecommerce and on-demand ordering.

Picking efficiency and productivity improved 15% by removing the unnecessary steps of picking up and putting down scanner terminals. Orders were easily seen and verified on wearable mobile host computer, with the ring scanners leaving hands available for picking items.

Some wearable mobile host computers can incorporate voice picking, where verbal commands are provided through a headset, directing employees to the specific products, which can also reduce employee training time.

Service Management Maximizes Your Time and Productivity

Create a total wearable scanning solution that will increase productivity and efficiency, saving your company money. With the technological advancements, wearable technology has greater accuracy for maximum performance and enhanced ergonomical designs.

The key is in obtaining the correct combination of wearable barcoding solutions available from Zebra Technologies that provides greater flexibility for improved mobility and productivity.

Why Use Wearable Barcode Technology?

Wearable technology is optimal for many industries and can decrease unnecessary errors by up to 39%. Having been around for about 12-15 years, wearable tech started out tethered to help employees manage items that are bulky and heavy without having to pick up and put down barcode scanning devices.

As ecommerce picked up, speed and efficiency became more important to keep up with tasks. Wearable scanners have proven how they increased efficiency in picking when both hands are needed for heavy and bulky items. Why stop there? Micro-efficiencies that were previously dismissed can save time from the extra motions of picking up and putting down a mobile computer, or having to search for where it was last placed. 

Benefits of Using a Wearable Barcode Scanning Solution

Increasing Productivity

Micro-efficiencies save businesses money by saving employees time while performing work, increasing productivity. With wearable devices, fewer scanners and mobile computers are misplaced. Thousands of parts can be scanned per day on an assembly line easily and comfortably.

The ergonomic comfort, improved ruggedness, and advancements of software make wearable technology a more efficient alternative to standard handheld devices. Wearable devices are smaller and lighter with technological advancements, making them weigh less than conventional scanner terminals.

Mobile computers with independent hosts provide fast and reliable data without delay. This can decrease unnecessary errors by up to 39%. Fewer errors equal greater productivity and overall profits. And with having fast access to data, any errors found while scanning can be easily adjusted on the spot.

A laser-based ring scanner was tethered to a terminal due to the inability to power such a small device for a workable duration. Scanning was the sole purpose of the ring scanner, so if other information had to be reviewed or data needed input on the spot, everything had to pause to do so.

As technology has improved, so has the capabilities of wearable barcode device technology. Gone are the days of being tethered to a terminal. Wearable devices have also improved from being bulky and incapable of holding power to being ergonomic, Wi-Fi capable, and battery powered.

Moving into the Future of Wearable Technology

As technology has improved, so has the weight and bulk of barcode devices. Employees are more productive when wearable devices are light and ergonomic, yet accessible. Improved ruggedness means the devices can withstand typical wear and tear for scanning and picking in many industries, including manufacturing and warehouses.

Ergonomic comfort, improved ruggedness, and advancements of software make wearable technology a more efficient alternate to standard handheld devices. Match a ring scanner with a wearable host/terminal. The wearable WT6300 host computer even has the option for a tactile snap on keypad for easy data entry at your employees’ fingertips.

Consumer goods businesses must be able to keep up with changing regulations, technological advances, and increasing omnichannel shopping. In fact, in today’s climate, productivity and effectiveness are greatly affected by the ability to keep up with the demands of regulations, clients, and the economy.

Zebra Technologies and Imprint Enterprises have the tools, knowledge, and expertise to help you move forward with the future of barcode technology, including which barcode scanners are best for your manufacturing facility.

What’s Important to Know About Scanning

It's important to know what kind of barcodes your consumer goods SMB is needing to scan to determine what kind of Zebra scanners are best suited to your needs. There are different forms of barcodes, depending on the product it is placed on and the lifecycle requirements of the barcode itself.

1D, or linear, barcodes can only hold approximately 20-25 characters. 2D barcodes can have a higher data density in a smaller space. 2D barcode labels use patters, shapes, and dots to encrypt more data information and can include images, website addresses, and binary data.

RFID tags are considered either active or passive, where the antenna is always waiting to receive a signal from the RFID reader. Active tags are always awake, have their own power source and transmitter, and respond to the RFID reader’s signals. Passive tags are asleep until pinged by a signal, at which point it will then wake up and respond to the RFID reader. You can refer to Imprint’s RFID technology FAQ for more information.

Once you know what kind of barcodes you will be scanning, it’s important to determine if you will need tethered scanners or cordless scanners. Tethered scanners are typically connected to a host computer via USB cable, which powers the scanner. Cordless scanners are portable and typically connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to host computers.

Manufacturing businesses must be able to keep up with the technological advances and increasing omnichannel shopping. In fact, in today’s climate, manufacturing productivity and effectiveness are greatly affected by their ability to keep up with the demands of clients and the economy.

Zebra Technologies and Imprint Enterprises have the tools, knowledge, and expertise to help you move forward with the future of barcode technology, including which barcode scanners are best for your manufacturing facility.

What’s Important to Know About Scanning

It's important to know what kind of barcodes your manufacturing SMB is needing to scan to determine what kind of Zebra scanners are best suited to your needs. There are different forms of barcodes, depending on the product it is placed on and the lifecycle requirements of the barcode itself.

1D, or linear, barcodes can only hold approximately 20-25 characters. 2D barcodes can have a higher data density in a smaller space. 2D barcode labels use patters, shapes, and dots to encrypt more data information and can include images, website addresses, and binary data.

Once you know what kind of barcodes you will be scanning, it’s important to determine if you will need tethered scanners or cordless scanners. Tethered scanners are typically connected to a host computer via USB cable, which powers the scanner. Cordless scanners are portable and typically connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to host computers.
