Zebra Technologies Corporation has announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Zebra to its 2017 Internet of Things 50 list, which recognizes companies whose innovative offerings are helping connect objects, computing devices, infrastructure, data storage and data analytics that will transform our everyday lives.

Zebra’s IoT solutions are standards-based, easy to deploy and operate, and scalable for small- and medium-sized businesses all the way up to global enterprises. Zebra and its PartnerConnect partners help companies add value to existing assets by offering IoT solutions that are interoperable across multiple IT platforms.

Within the past year, Zebra has introduced several new IoT-focused solutions including:

• Savanna™, a fundamental building-block platform for accelerating the digital transformation of enterprise operations by helping Zebra® partners and customers build applications that make use of edge data in near real-time to mobilize insight and actions that deliver new levels of service, productivity and profitability;
• SmartLens™ for Retail provides complete visibility of the entire store with up-to-the-minute location information on tagged inventory, employees and customers who have opted into the network or loyalty application; and
• SmartPack™ Trailer captures operational data such as load density, trailer fullness, images of loads in progress and the number of packages scanned and loaded per hour, giving unprecedented actionable insights to personnel and dock managers.

 
The Internet of Things 50 list will be featured in the December issue of CRN and on CRN.com at crn.com/iot50.
