Zebra DNA – the core of intelligent hardware

Zebra DNA – the core of intelligent hardware

The next step in printer, mobile computer and barcode scanner evolution

Zur Hardware-Optimierung setzt Zebra genau dort an, wo es am meisten zu bewirken gibt: am innersten Kern, am genetischen Code. Dies ist die Geburtsstunde der Zebra DNA, einer dauerhaften Veränderung für Mobilcomputer, Barcodescanner und Drucker. Die Folgen? Steigender ROI, sinkende Kosten – und begeisterte Kunden!

Being at the core of all life on earth, DNA determines not only a creature’s current state, but also its evolution. This is how the Zebra DNA works: Included in the design process of a product from the beginning, it plays a key role in all its further development – and thus in the development of your customers.

Zebra DNA: the double helix

Just like its counterpart in the nucleus, the Zebra DNA has a simple and complex structure at the same time, which holds an extremely high potential. It basically consists of two strands:

The first strand encompasses an ecosystem of professional tools with which your customers tailor their mobile computers, printers and scanners to their needs and make daily work faster, easier and more productive. These tools are completely compatible with all devices that were – or will be – designed based on the Zebra DNA.

The second strand carries a developer platform. Here, all tools that users submit are put through their paces and if Zebra’s development team approves them, they are incorporated to the Zebra DNA toolset. This procedure ensures that the evolution of Zebra’s portfolio focuses to 100 % on real user requirements.

Zebra DNA: building blocks

The two strands form the rack that holds the three building blocks Mobility DNA, DataCapture DNA and Print DNA. Each element is assigned to one field of Zebra’s portfolio:

Mobility DNA increases the user-friendliness and the flexibility of mobile computers while reducing integration and training costs. It relies on Android as a future-proof and user-oriented operating system that also leaves a lot of room for the development of new apps.

DataCapture DNA combines effortless barcode scanner configuration with remote management. It replaces complicated and time-consuming processes in the use and management of devices with user-friendly, goal-oriented and intuitive handling.

Print DNA is based on Link-OS, the industry’s most intelligent printer operating system. It enables location-independent implementation and management of extensive device pools. Pairing with other devices as well as the emulation of other printer languages are greatly simplified.

Zebra DNA: the basis

Whether printer, barcode scanner or mobile computer: the tools with which the devices are equipped are the foundation of the Zebra DNA. They were carefully selected for each type of device and may be roughly categorized into five groups:

Management tools facilitate device integration and management – for example via assistants such as 123Scan, which creates single programming barcodes for quick scanner setup, or Enterprise Home Screen to define exactly how mobile computers are used day-to-day.

Transparency tools enable real-time analysis and help reduce unexpected costs and downtime. Your customers use ScanSpeed Analytics to assess current performance trends and proactively plan maintenance tasks via Remote Diagnostics.

 

Productivity tools optimize device performance, implementation of new technologies and execution of everyday tasks. They include Powerprecision for efficient battery power management and ZebraDesigner for fast creation of tailored printing solutions.

 

Development tools reduce time and work expenses in the development of new apps and solutions. Users create browser-based printing applications with Browser Print and extend Android’s functionality with Mobility Extensions (MX).

Business tools help users to overcome communication barriers, to rationalise work processes and to optimally utilize resources. With Worforce Connect, for instance, employees handle more tasks with a single device.

Pretuned by Zebra DNA

Whenever you see this logo in our marketing communication from now on, you will know: This is a promise to you and your customers that the associated devices are equipped with Zebra DNA and offer enhanced configuration, functionality and extension options. Therefore, keep an eye out for the «PRETUNED BY ZEBRA DNA» logotype when looking for mobile computers, barcode scanners and printers at Jarltech.
