Cool Chain Challenges
Increased on-demand and e-commerce economies can make it more difficult to ensure products are of top-quality from manufacturing, through shipping, to the end-user. Zebra Technologies merged with Temptime® technology to help ease the challenges businesses can face.
Marty discusses:
-
-
-
- Compliance regulations
- Validation of processing
- Assessing unexpected effects
- Minimizing waste
- Lower costs
- Avoiding liability
- Maintaining customer confidence
- Improving profits while accelerating ROI
-

Cold Chain Monitoring
Monitoring products through a chain can be performed using three specific solutions. From something that is easy to apply and easy to read, to constant monitoring through electronic means, Zebra has the solution for your business.
- Marty discusses:
-
- Electronic sensors
- Ready to Use indicators
- Printable indicators
-
- Ankan provides greater detail about:
-
- Visibility “At-A-Glance”
- “Closed Box” condition visibility, including location data over time
-
Core Markets and Applications
These environmental solutions are designed to meet different use cases among different industries, from cold chain, storage, monitoring, and even high heat processing. Marty addresses the following industries and how their sensors can help their processes:
-
-
-
Transportation & Logistics
-
Food
-
Pharma
-
Manufacturing
-
-
Electronic Product Solutions
Zebra’s electronic sensors allow asset condition monitoring to be tiered, meaning the monitoring is visible at different stages. Electronic sensors continually gather information through a supply chain and broadcast that information across a secure network.
Electronic monitoring provides current conditions at any given moment, allowing rapid decision-making on next steps to take without having to unpack or open items. Ankan provides an overview of a complete electronic product solution:
-
-
- Zebra Sensor ZS300
- Zebra Bridge ZB200
- Android Software ZSFinder / ZBSetup apps
- Cloud Software storage & APIs
- No Cost Recycling with pick up on request
-
From extreme heat to freezing conditions, there are simple visual solutions that can be attached to your products, placed in cases, or printed out. Marty discusses the range of visual solutions, how they visually change, and what can be thermal printed and what cannot.
-
-
- Ready-to-Use Temperature Indicators
- Temperature Printable Indicators
- Humidity/Moisture Printable Indicators
- Sterilization Printable Indicators
-
Webinar Wrap-Up
Reduce waste and eliminate assumptions that products have been kept within specific environmental parameters. Integrating environmental indicators and sensors can improve accuracy. Marty and Ankan complete the webinar by answering the following questions:
-
-
-
Are there custom options for visual indicators?
-
How do the electronic sensors communicate?
-
Are there different label material (base substrate) options?
-
Can a regular Zebra printer print temperature labels?
-
Are there extra costs for the Cloud services?
-
