Zebra Technologies Responds to Mobile Workforce Industry Demands With the Introduction of the RW 420 Print Station
BOURNE END, England, June 15, 2010--
- Mobile Printer Designed to Hold Motorola Handheld Terminals
Offers Slimmer, Lighter Profile Form Factor for Increased Productivity in the
Mobile Workforce
Zebra Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ZBRA), a global leader in
specialty printing and automatic identification solutions, today announces
the new RW 420 Print Station (model RW4-PS), a printer and hand-held in one
unit. The RW4-PS enhances worker productivity by delivering more efficient
and effective mobile equipment management. Now workers will carry less
equipment and fewer charging devices, allowing for quick end-user adoption.
The RW4-PS is designed to address the evolving business challenges of the
mobile workforce by incorporating Zebra's mobile printing technology into a
single, compact, lightweight and rugged unit capable of supporting the
Motorola MC70 and MC75 removable handheld terminals.
"The Zebra RW 420 Print Station boosts productivity and maximises
efficiencies for the supply chain of a business," said Les Dickin, Product
marketing team manager EMEA, Zebra Technologies. "This new product delivers
significant improvements in terms of having an integrated printer and yet is
lightweight and rugged enough for mobile workers to easily carry on their
work routes to visit more customers. This relieves the burden of carrying
multiple devices and products or making multiple trips to the vehicle."
Industries that benefit from Zebra's new mobile solution include:
- Direct Store Delivery: Requires accurate and real-time invoicing and
document production. This model can produce and manage receipts,
invoices, pick lists, load manifests and settlement report printing.
- Field Services: Workers in the field are tasked with increasing
customer satisfaction by providing superior service. This can be done
more efficiently by using the RW4-PS to print invoices, work orders,
order verifications and spare parts inventory reports.
- Government: Mobile printing and data collection are critical to helping
government agencies ensure information accuracy and improve officer
safety. The RW4-PS solution allows officers to enter and verify eCitation
data quickly in the field, decreasing manual paperwork and clerical
errors.
"The RW 420 Print Station illustrates the strong partnership between
Motorola and Zebra," said Marco Landi, VP EMEA Channels, Motorola Enterprise
Solutions. "Motorola is particularly excited that the unit supports our
popular MC70 and MC75 units creating a complete solution that will help our
joint customers increase their mobile worker productivity and efficiency and
overall customer satisfaction."
Available in North America and Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The
RW4-PS will be sold primarily through Zebra's vast network of channel
partners across a range of verticals and region. For more information, please
