2. Put-Away / Replenishment

Improve put away and replenishment productivity and accuracy with StayLinked Evolve and the rugged HD4000 Enterprise Head-Mounted Display, the only see-through wearable display built for the enterprise.

• Put the information your workers need right into their real-time field of view, enabling hands-free directed action workflows
• Pair with StayLinked to virtually eliminate dropped sessions between the device and the host application
• Whether the problem is poor wireless network coverage, mobile device battery issues, or mobile device reboots, the terminal emulation session will never be lost

3. Inventory & Materials Movement

When inventory management devices are collected from smart lockers, StayLinked receives a message. Device battery life is monitored and location is mapped. Even if a device is faulty, runs out of power or drops off the network, the session is seamlessly picked up on a new device.

• With StayLinked, sessions can be shared across multiple devices and continue over cellular networks when coverage is temporarily lost
• Zebra Savanna and StayLinked Evolve capture detailed data on device performance and how productivity is affected
• StayLinked Evolve provides the insights needed to strategize improvements

4. Picking

StayLinked Evolve provides detailed visibility into fundamental picking and packing processes using images and metrics, with several Zebra APIs.

• Zebra Savanna integration unlocks details about devices and the environment, as well as capturing all relevant data relating to picking and packing operations
• Gather device application Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs), Unique Identification Numbers (UIDs) and signal strengths to determine locations
• Simplify and streamline API integrations

5. Packing

Evolve allows you to combine the breadth of Fetch Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) and packing optimization of Zebra FulfillmentEdgeTM – alongside StayLinked TE to enhance collaborative packing across multiple orders while orchestrating workers and robots.

• Enable faster, more accurate fulfilment and improved workflows
• Allow workers to spend more time in the aisle instead of manually moving material throughout a facility
• Deploy autonomous mobile robots in hours, iterate workflows until perfect, and then integrate into a warehouse management system or optimization layer when desired

6. Shipping

With StayLinked Evolve and Fetch AMR integration, completed orders can be sent to shipping with StayLinked triggers, ensuring your workers are doing what they do best.

• Leverage the power of Fetch AMRs to arrive upon order picking completion
• Eliminate transit inefficiencies associated with large warehouse environment
• Maximize picking operations to get more orders to shipping and out the door

7. Cross-Docking

StayLinked Evolve and SmartTE are an integral part of any innovative warehouse solution: StayLinked can replicate and pilot your planned automated conveyor operation within a week of inception. Coordinating cross-docking activities requires a high degree of visibility of assets to ensure the efficient and accurate movement of goods, equipment, and people.

• Automate scanning processes with RFID technology to quickly and accurately sort and track pallets on the move.
• Deploy rugged devices that are tough enough to withstand continuous use in hostile operational environments and reduce the need to replace them as often.
• Devices running on StayLinked eliminate virtually all dropped sessions to ensure the right shipments are always put on the right trailer in the right order

8. Reverse Logistics

Zebra's Android mobile computers give you total visibility across your operations, allowing you to efficiently process customer returns, put seasonal and surplus inventory back into stock, or identify goods for refurbishment or disposal.
