Barcodes still drive data

Barcode devices bring consistency to organisations, enabling predictable operations for enhanced product quality by combining various data management functions while preventing bottlenecks at data entry stations. By having the right barcode printing and labelling system in place, one that is proven and reliable enables a single source of truth data management. It also provides companies with relevant, accurate, and insightful information so leadership can make timely, informed decisions that control costs and ensure performance. For example, after rolling out 635 devices across 20 facilities in two months, Zebra Technologies helped Whirlpool move from managing devices with spreadsheets to managing and analysing device utilisation, location, and performance from one location and dashboard. Today, Whirlpool can ensure that each distribution centre has a proper mix of equipment based on usage statistics.
