Optimize Your Manufacturing Processes with Zebra Devices

19 Nov 2024 - Marek Gaweł

In every manufacturing company, especially in industries with high quality requirements, the efficiency of production processes is an important element of success. The use of modern technologies, such as RFID systems or vision cameras, significantly contributes to the improvement of production and warehouse operations. Zebra are professional devices that allow you to optimize processes and improve quality. See how Zebra technologies can revolutionize your manufacturing and warehouse operations.

Zebra Label Printers

Zebra offers a wide range of label printers that allow you to print a variety of labels and markings for the industry. Zebra printers are reliable, fast and interoperable. Thanks to RFID technology, they allow for convenient printing of labels with RFID chips, which additionally enables efficient and error-free identification of objects in inventory and production management systems. Zebra printers are most commonly used to print the following markings:

  • Printing warehouse markings – Warehouse labels with a barcode or RFID tag allow for precise and durable marking of racks, shelves, pallets or crates. Thanks to this, operators can quickly locate the necessary products, which optimizes work and shortens the search time. In addition, using RFID technology, it is possible to read labels quickly and error-free without the need for direct contact with the tag, as in the case of a traditional barcode.
  • Printing labels for raw materials – Marking materials and production raw materials with appropriate labels is the basis for their proper use at various stages of production. They help with inventory monitoring and traceability in the production process, which allows for better quality control and prevention of errors resulting from the use of incorrect materials.
  • Printing RFID identification labels on components-  RFID identification tags are one of the most modern ways to identify components during manufacturing. Zebra printers allow you to easily print and encode RFID labels with information at every stage of production that components pass through. This makes it possible to trace every component throughout the entire production chain.
  • Printing of product labels – Product labels are printed at the final stage of production and applied to the finished product. Zebra printers provide excellent print quality on labels, especially barcodes and 2D codes such as QR and Datamatrix.
  • Logistics label printing – Logistics labels allow you to monitor the flow of goods throughout the supply chain. Zebra’s 6″ and 8″ head width printers deliver high-quality printing of extra-large pallet labels. Printing logistics labels with an RFID tag additionally allows for quick and effective tracking of shipping units during their transport. 

RFID Terminals, RFID Readers, Barcode Scanners, Mobile Computers, Zebra Industrial Tablets

Zebra is not only printers, but also RFID terminals, code scanners or mobile computers with software. Modern Zebra devices automatically read and transmit information contained in barcodes, QR codes and RFID tags. They monitor the flow of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods in real time. They speed up processes related to inventory, receipt of goods into the warehouse, as well as quality control during production.

  • Receipts to the warehouse – Receipt of raw materials or finished products to the warehouse becomes easier thanks to devices that allow you to quickly scan labels and save data in the management system. Error-free reading of barcodes or instant reading of data from RFID tags makes the processes related to the receipt and release of goods faster and more effective.
  • Inventory Counts –  With Zebra’s data terminals and mobile computers, you can quickly take inventory of raw materials and items in warehouses. With RFID technology and barcodes, all movements of goods are recorded in real-time, providing accurate inventory information and enabling better management of raw materials.
  • Production Monitoring –  Zebra’s mobile computers, readers and industrial tablets allow you to monitor your production processes. Scanning production orders, labels applied to raw materials or semi-finished products ensures that the right material is used for the next step. Automation at each production station minimizes the risk of mistakes, accelerates the operation of starting and closing the order, which in turn translates into increased efficiency of the entire production process.

Smart Cameras & Sensors, Vision Cameras, Zebra Industrial Scanners

Zebra’s vision cameras and smart sensors support quality control at various stages of production. Thanks to these technologies, it is possible to:

  • product quality control – vision cameras mounted above the production line automatically check whether products have no manufacturing defects and meet specific standards,
  • verify prints and codes – Zebra industrial scanners validate label information, barcodes and 2D codes. Thanks to them, labels with errors in texts, illegible or incorrectly printed codes are eliminated at an early stage,
  • monitoring of the flow of raw materials and products – they enable tracking the flow of the product through the entire process, which ensures full control over the production process and minimizes the risk of errors.

Zebra Technologies Business Benefits

Leveraging Zebra’s technologies in your manufacturing processes offers a number of benefits, including:

  • streamlining and accelerating production processes – process automation with the use of Zebra devices allows you to significantly speed up production operations, thanks to which the company can respond faster to changes in demand and fulfill orders on time,
  • Improve productivity and efficiency – With Zebra’s auto-identification solutions, they increase productivity on your production lines. Fast data processing and fewer errors result in higher work efficiency,
  • Increase quality and reduce costs – Leveraging Zebra’s modern technologies improves the quality of finished products while reducing the cost of complaints by eliminating errors, saving time and materials.
