Zebra Technologies increases productivity with ‘30 percent fewer robots’

February 9, 2025 by Mark Allinson

Zebra Technologies, a supply chain workflow specialist, has expanded its Zebra Symmetry Fulfillment, a “comprehensive solution” that utilizes the company’s new Zebra Connect Fulfillment autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), wearable technologies, software, and analytics designed to increase productivity and reduce costs in warehouse operations.

This AI-powered solution combines the functions of a warehouse execution system (WES) with robot fleet management and powerful analytics.

Using the new Zebra Symmetry Connect Fulfillment AMR, the solution enables frontline workers to load and unload orders to and from carts without requiring the AMR to remain permanently attached to each cart. This increases utilization and reduces the number of AMRs required in the fulfillment system. [Read more…] about Zebra Technologies increases productivity with ‘30 percent fewer robots’

But that’s not the end of the story. After all, some companies may have more in-depth logistical needs, perhaps running trucks on the road seven days a week, or using custom vehicles to transport sensitive goods from one place to another.
