Autumn brings unmatched excitement across stadiums worldwide. The roar of fans and the game play between the hash marks command our attention. Beyond the visible action, numbers tell a deeper story. For over a decade, Zebra tracking technology has captured every movement across every inch of the gridiron, fueling the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. This continuous data stream equips teams, broadcasters, and fans with data that enhances the game experience.   Read the full article here

SAP supports warehouse operations for many of the world’s leading manufacturers, distributors, and logistics companies. Many of these organizations also rely on Zebra mobile devices to help their frontline teams receive, move, pick, and manage inventory. Read more here.

In healthcare today, administrative documentation often takes up 25% to 41% of nurses’ time – part of a heavy technology burden that includes many other tasks and systems, as well, according to several studies. In fact, nurses sometimes have to interact with up to 13 different fragmented systems to manage and document patient care.

SAP enterprise systems provide the robust foundation that successful businesses rely on to manage, track, and process complex order, inventory, and industrial workflows. This centralized structure is highly optimized for strategic data management and core business operations.

Increasingly, healthcare workers are facing the threat of workplace violence. In fact, studies have shown that healthcare workers are five times more likely to be assaulted than any other profession. And recent incidents have turned deadly, with some healthcare workers losing their lives while trying to care for the rest of us and our families.

Every day, your frontline workers navigate a complex world of tasks. They operate vehicles on highways, forklifts in warehouses, and equipment on airport tarmacs. In all these environments, a common, persistent risk exists right in the palm of their hands. The constant ping of a mobile device presents a powerful temptation, one that pulls focus away from the critical job at hand. This challenge affects nearly every organization that relies on a mobile workforce, creating significant safety and liability concerns that demand a modern solution.

For the final episode of our podcast series, my conversation with FedEx moved beyond the hype and into the reality of building the automated facility of the future. Their approach is not about a single giant leap but a series of deliberate, incremental steps. It’s a journey that requires a harmonious integration of automation, advanced industrial scanning, machine vision, and AI to create a truly data-powered environment.

In the second episode of our podcast series, I spoke with the team at FedEx about how they are mastering this crucial touchpoint. Their innovative Picture Proof of Delivery feature directly addresses the customer’s need for peace of mind. By providing a quick photo of the delivered package, they offer instant visual confirmation and accountability. The customer no longer has to wonder; they can see for themselves that their order arrived safely.

In logistics, what you can’t see can hurt you. Every moment a package is unaccounted for between scans represents a blind spot, a gap in the story of its journey. For a global leader like FedEx, operating at a scale of millions of packages a day, these gaps create operational friction and prevent the kind of flawless visibility their customers expect. How do you find a way to see everything, everywhere, all at once?

As a communications strategist, I live for a great story. I recently had the distinct pleasure of hearing five incredible ones during a special CRN Women of the Channel podcast. The conversation with Zebra’s 2025 honorees brought to life a theme I see playing out across the tech industry: we achieve so much more together. Our relentless pursuit of innovation finds its greatest expression through the power of our leading ecosystem, a truth our guests illustrated with powerful real-world examples.

It was a privilege to welcome back former NFL linebacker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Brandon Copeland to our latest episode of Chalk Talk. While many know him for his impressive 10-year career in the league, it’s his profound impact off the field that truly defines him as a leader. In our conversation, Brandon shared the powerful story behind his foundation, Beyond the Basics, which he co-founded with his wife, Taylor. It was born from a desire to be a "beacon of light" and a realization that one-off visits aren’t enough to change a child’s environment. This commitment is powerfully embodied in their flagship "December to Remember" event, where each year, Brandon and his NFL colleagues host shopping sprees for children who believe they are attending a community service event to help others.

As business leaders, we constantly look for ways to streamline operations, empower teams, and deliver better results. If you’ve ever wondered how AI could make your frontline team’s workday smoother, more efficient, and maybe even a little less stressful, the Frontline AI Summit offered some exciting answers. Hosted by Zebra Technologies, this event brought together some of the sharpest minds in the industry to talk about how AI is already transforming operations and what’s next.

Welcome back to Conversations with a CNIO In this second episode, host Kassaundra McKnight-Young delves into the crucial topic of workplace safety and violence. Our special guest, Chad Salahshour, CEO of 911 Cellular and a valued channel partner, shares valuable insights on how organizations can leverage innovative technology to improve safety in healthcare settings. From the importance of mobile panic buttons to integrating systems for effective emergency responses, this episode is packed with practical tips and actionable solutions.

Hello, everyone!

With my experience as a nurse and passion for problem-solving through innovation, I’m excited to use this platform to connect with you and dive into the issues shaping the future of care delivery.

In the fast-paced world of technological innovation, government contractors find themselves at the forefront of a digital transformation imperative. As these organizations strive to meet strict audit requirements and manage vast inventories of government property, modern RFID technology emerges as a beacon of efficiency and accuracy. Recently, I had the privilege of discussing this transformative impact alongside Therese Van Ryne, Senior Director of External Communications at Zebra, and Pete Collins, President and CEO of A2B Tracking Solutions, on the Zebra podcast. Here’s how RFID is reshaping the landscape for government contractors.
