Joe White, vice president, Enterprise Mobile Computing, Zebra Technologies

"Zebra's Warehouse Vision Report found that 72 percent of nearly 1,400 logistics professionals expect to use voice-directed picking solutions by 2020, up from just 30 percent in 2015. They recognize the need to help workers focus on the task at hand, rather than on handling a device. By liberating warehouse workers' hands and eyes, Zebra's Total Wearable Solutions will improve productivity and enhance their mobility, comfort and accuracy with all the necessary information in sight."
