The TEConnect Podcast #8:
Artificial Intelligence & Analytics in Healthcare w/Zebra’s Chris Sullivan

Terms like artificial intelligence, machine learning and predictive analytics get thrown around in many industries and may still feel like high-level futuristic concepts, but they are not and they are actively improving outcomes, especially in healthcare. Matt Jordan returns to the podcast with special guest Chris Sullivan, Zebra's Global Healthcare Practice Lead, to dive into how these concepts are making a difference right now. Where is AI currently in use and how did the pandemic accelerate that? What is machine learning? Is predictive analytics as simple as putting data you already have to work?
The TEConnect Podcast #56:
Food Safety Technology w/Zebra’s Ashley Barey

Food safety is topical for restaurants, grocers and, of course, customers. From foodborne illnesses to food allergies, hyperlocal sourcing, and FDA guidelines, there is a lot for businesses sell, prepare or deliver food to keep and mind and be vigilant about. This week, Zebra’s Ashley Barey joins us to discuss how we can utilize technology to combat some of these issues and where opportunities may lie for resellers. What does the FDA have planned that we should be talking about now? How did the pandemic impact the discussion? What are some key technologies for storage, traceability and delivery? What about food waste? It’s the episode that you should sniff to make sure it’s still fresh.

Robots, Cobots & Automating the Supply Chain w/Zebra’s Mark Wheeler

Look, robots are cool, and we like to joke about whether a Terminator-style world takeover could happen, but they also have very practical value when used alongside workers, especially in warehousing, distribution & manufacturing. Mark Wheeler, Zebra’s Director of Supply Chain Solutions, joins the show to discuss the current market for robots. What’s holding supply chain leaders back from implementing augmentation technology? What happens to facilities that embrace this kind of automation? What kind of data and analytics can robots bring to enterprises?
The TEConnect Podcast #92:
Intelligent Cabinets and Mobile Device Management w/Zebra’s Randy Murphy

Most industries understand the value of using enterprise mobile devices over consumer options, but are they properly caring for, storing, and maintaining them to maximize their potential? This week, Randy Murphy from Zebra joins the pod to discuss that very problem and a simple solution—deploying “intelligent” cabinets. What’s the need here? What options are available? What does the ROI and benefits look like? It’s the episode that reminds you that Sheriff ZAM is watching!

Retail Warehousing Fulfillment w/Zebra’s John Wirthlin & Tim Kane

Retailers are balancing a “new normal” of heightened customer expectations in-store and online with staffing shortages and inventory challenges. The back-of-house, supply chain, and warehousing aspects of retail require better tech solutions that VARs need to understand and drive. This week, Zebra’s Retail and Warehousing/Supply Chain SMEs, Tim Kane & John Wirthlin, help us look at the opportunities and break down the trends shaping retail fulfillment. How is the retail supply chain adapting? How can we help address customer expectations and operational visibility and empower employees?
