As retailers eye IoT, AI and Automation to drive growth, Zebra Corporation launched its new TC5 Series touch mobile computers, and the DS2200 and DS8100 series handheld 2D scanners in India. The new devices will help retailers increase productivity in front-of-store, back-of-store, distribution centers, warehouses, and deliveries, giving shoppers an enhanced omni-channel shopping experience.
The TC5 Series is an enterprise-grade mobile device that is as modern and easy-to-use as a consumer smartphone, allowing employees to “hit the ground running” with minimal training.
It offers robust enterprise functionality and durability that would ensure that it can withstand the rigors of field mobility duties.TC5 Series also provides the operational ease of support for a better total cost of ownership (TCO), as well as the fastest, most dependable wireless connections inside or out on the field.
To ensure seamless integration, increased productivity and secure operations, the TC5 Series is supported by Zebra’s Mobility DNA, the industry’s most comprehensive suite of application security, development tools and mobile end-user apps.
At the same time the DS8100 enables retailers to increase productivity of cashiers to shorten queues at checkout, as its superior scanning range enables cashiers to easily scan items in customers’ shopping carts without leaving the register.
In addition, the high-performance DS8100 instantly captures the most problematic barcodes including dense, poorly printed, dirty or damaged, as well as electronic barcodes on dimly lit displays.
Detailed DS8100 scanning performance and battery health metrics simplify spotting and correcting issues before they impact employee productivity and customer service.
Meanwhile, small- and medium-sized enterprises can benefit from upgrading to the latest 2D scanning technology with the cost-effective DS2200 series scanners.
The DS2200 series is easy to deploy, use and manage, and is ready to use out of the box with Zebra’s 123Scan software tool that allows devices to be configured with just one scan.
Deep Agarwal, Regional Sales Director – India, Zebra Technologies APAC: “The retail industry is experiencing a convergence of the physical and online worlds – which we call ‘phygital’. Shoppers today are technology-savvy and have high expectations for a digital and connected shopping experience, creating both challenges and opportunities for retailers vying for sales on all platforms. As the omni-channel approach picks up steam, implementing the right visibility technologies from the warehouse to the storefront is instrumental in fulfilling orders, scheduling for fast deliveries, and personalizing the experience for different shoppers. Zebra is committed to helping customers strive in the dynamic retail landscape by bringing to them technology that facilitates a successful omni-channel transition and offers increased visibility into their operations, associates, inventory, and shipments.”

For example, the new TC5 Series combines the user-friendliness of a consumer mobile device together with the high performance of an enterprise-grade computer, allowing the staff to start generating ROI with minimal training – in the retail store, warehouse, factory, or out on the field. The DS2200 and DS8100 scanners are designed to accelerate the checkout process and deliver a seamless shopping experience in retail. The cost-effective DS2200 also helps small- to mid-sized retailers transition smoothly from 1D to 2D.”
