What do Workers Want From Their Mobile Printers?
Mobile technology is increasing prevalence in the manufacturing industry. When it comes to working in your product line, mobile printers can help your enterprise achieve new levels of productivity, efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction. In order to implement new mobile printers to your team you need to find out what do the workers want from their mobile printers. A good quality mobile printer should have the following:
- Flexibility– workers can work with both hands while the mobile printer is hooked on a belt or mounted in a vehicle.
- Reliability– need a purposely built rugged device for everyday use on the go.
- Compatibility– must work well with other devices that workers are using.
- Simple– ease of use and non-complicated controls.
- Fast– no time for delays with an uncooperative printer.
- Easy to Carry– can be worn on belts or shoulder straps for easy accessibility.
The Brother Rugged Jet RJ4250WBL mobile printer can provide the solution to meet your needs. In manufacturing and warehouse environments, with the RJ4250WBL mobile printer clipped to a belt or mounted on a forklift, workers can print high quality labels for finished goods, bins, shelves, shipping, work in progress tickets, and more.

Zebra Android Devices Accelerates E-commerce Fulfillment
The warehouse industry is changing, can your operations keep pace? To compete in a new warehouse environment in which e-commerce has raised delivery speed expectations, workers needs to fill orders more efficiently. Outdated Windows devices running green screen applications aren’t designed to match the speed and volume of today’s demand economy. Zebra Android touch-screen devices are designed for faster, more flexible operation that improves warehouse performance in four areas:
Greater order-fulfillment speed. The intuitive Android user interface and modern touch-screen technology combine to yield 40% faster data entry.
Higher fulfillment accuracy. Empowered with the flexibility to easily add soft buttons, on-screen keypads and photos of products to Android’s larger touch displays, workers can reliably capture barcode data faster, from near and far distances.
Faster onboarding. Zebra Android’s familiar, intuitive touch-screen interface cuts training time for both permanent and temporary workers, giving them the confidence to work fast.
Continuous uptime. Fast charging, hot-swap batteries and more reliable Wi-Fi connectivity keep your workers productive. PowerPrecision+ analytics indicate when batteries need recharging or replacement. Mobility Extensions provide an extra layer of enterprise security and LifeGuard for Android extends security support for up to seven years.
Contact us today for more insight into how Zebra’s modern Android mobile devices and tablets can meet the needs of today’s on-demand economy.
