May 17, 2023 – Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a leading provider of digital solutions that enable businesses to intelligently connect data, assets and people, announced that its partner EiT Logistics is working with Zebra to modernize its warehouse and distribution center operations.
The Chilean transportation and logistics company needed to digitize, migrating from paper operations to automated processes, to serve its broad customer base, and in a short time, it has managed to successfully accelerate processing times, visibility and productivity challenges, generating an attractive return on investment.
Before implementing the Zebra solution, EiT processed 100 units of items per minute and after digitizing its warehouses, this number multiplied by twenty, up to 2,000 units per minute. Additionally, it reduced ongoing operating costs within its distribution center by 20%.
“Zebra Technologies’ innovative warehouse solutions help us increase inventory accuracy, while providing real-time information on goods exactly where and when they are needed,” said Gerardo Cáceres, Innovation and Development Manager at EiT. “Human errors are reduced and our workers can now make fact-based decisions, which helped save time and money through operational efficiency,” he added.
EiT is now leveraging the breadth of Zebra’s portfolio in its warehouse to receive products, pick orders, package shipments and track deliveries. With the MC3300, MC2700, MC9200 and TC26 mobile computers, the RS5100 ring scanner and the ZT411, ZQ500 and ZD421 thermal printers, they address the most business-critical workflows within your warehouse operations.
Zebra devices work in harmony with EiT’s warehouse management system (WMS) provided by STG Chile, a Zebra Premium Solutions Partner, in the Zebra PartnerConnect program. “Implementing Zebra solutions alongside our WMS increased the productivity of EiT’s frontline workers,” said Leonardo Navarrete, Sales Manager at STG Chile, adding: “Our collaboration with Zebra has always allowed us to offer a leading warehouse logistics solution tailored to the needs of our customers.”
According to Zebra’s Global Warehouse Vision Study, 71% of decision makers said they are accelerating their warehouse modernization plans to increase the accuracy and speed of their operations, while upskilling workers with automated asset tracking and data capture processes.
“Zebra set a new standard to guide and accelerate warehouse modernization, fully backed by decades of proven innovation and experience from thousands of storage implementations and use cases,” said Alejandro Prosperi, vice president of sales and general manager for Southern Latin America. “The perfect time to modernize warehouses is now and Zebra helps companies like EiT connect all mobile workers with their WMS and capture every inventory movement for holistic control and visibility,” he concluded.
