Körber Achieves Zebra Technologies Validation

Körber has announced it has successfully completed Zebra Technologies’ Solution Validation Program for its Körber One Voice platform, which orchestrates voice-directed workflows for all warehouse operations using Zebra’s Android devices to improve productivity. This designation indicates to customers and partners that Körber’s voice solution meets Zebra’s high standards for
performance and functionality with the company’s mobile computers.

Zebra is a leading digital solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect data, assets, and people. Körber is part of the award-winning Zebra® PartnerConnect program.

Hiring and retaining labour is one of the biggest challenges for supply chain operations today. Billions are lost annually to disengaged people in manual warehouse areas. These dynamics require a constant evaluation of workflows and warehouse technology.

“Working closely with Zebra engineering teams, we have tested the interoperability of Körber’s voice solution with select products, including Zebra’s TC52AX and TC57 mobile computers,” said Dan LeBlanc, Director Product Partnerships at Körber Business Area Supply Chain. “This ensures customers that our application meets their needs and reduces both the risk and the deployment time for them.”

Technologies such as voice play a key role by not only making many warehouse tasks safer, but by also making operations significantly more productive. Körber’s voice technology is intuitive by nature, can adapt to unique user language inflections and has achieved productivity gains of up to 35%, accuracy improvements up to 85%, and training time reductions up to 50%.

“Körber has been a global voice leader for many years, delivering market-leading voice and warehouse management system solutions,” said Daniel Dombach, Industry Solutions Director EMEA, Zebra Technologies. “Our Android-based voice-enabled mobile devices empower Körber to continue its voice market leadership, delivering cost effective solutions for customers.”

Zebra’s Enterprise Testing Program enables eligible channel partners to test the interoperability of their software and hardware solutions with select Zebra mobile computers, scanners, printers, radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions and software products, to meet user application-specific needs.

Supply chains are growing more complex by the day. Körber uniquely provides a broad range of proven end-to-end solutions tailored to help manage the supply chain as a competitive advantage. Fitting any business size, strategy or industry, our customers conquer the complexity of the supply chain thanks to our portfolio of software, voice, and robotics solutions – plus the expertise to tie it all together.

Accurate Inventory with Powerful RFID Sled

Datalogic is significantly increasing the value of its innovative wireless charging PDA Memor™ 10, with the new UHF RFID 2128P hand held reader, bringing unmatched reading, writing and localization capabilities.

Now workers can complete a faster and more accurate inventory, with extended nominal read range up to 9 meters – 33% longer compared to other similar units on the market – due to a 34 dBm of maximum RF output power. When connected with the Memor™ 10, the combination simplifies work and increases the precision of inventory in Retail, Transportation and Logistics, Manufacturing and Healthcare applications in an ergonomic design.

The 2128P RFID reader allows users to locate hard-to-find RFID tagged assets more easily than ever. Advanced visual and audio indicators, coupled with embedded processes and accelerometers, makes it the most configurable, in-depth and “search and find” capable RFID reader currently available on the market. In addition, any duplicated tags are automatically and instantly discarded by the de-duplication software system, improving reading performance and facilitating data flow.

Users can directly connect the 2128P RFID reader to the Memor™ 10 PDA with an easy to use ePop-Loq® mount. In addition, this mount enables an ultra-secure wired connection for data transfer. This innovative mounting solution provides a one-piece UHF RFID scanning solution. Recharging operations are simplified and accelerated, as the RFID reader and PDA are charged simultaneously in one charging station – without the need to disconnect. Up to 500 million transponder EPCs can be stored offline on a 32GB Micro SD card. The RFID Sled comes packaged with useful applications and tools making it ready to go out-of-the-box.
