Zebra

Zebra Technologies Corporation is an American multinational technology company that builds smart data capture and intelligent solutions. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois, the firm employs more than 10,000 people and maintains 120 offices worldwide. Its work spans rugged mobile computing, barcode scanning, RFID readers, and thermal printing - the last of which follows from the company's origins in barcode printing technology.

The product line is designed to help frontline workers capture, communicate and act on business data in real time. Rugged mobile computing devices carry data capture into the field; barcode scanners and RFID readers handle identification and tracking; thermal printers cover label and receipt output. Together these form a hardware and software integration effort aimed at real-time data capture and communication, with continuing investment in Internet of Things (IoT) development.

Zebra's technology is applied across retail, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics and government. The stated focus of that work is to help organizations digitize, automate and improve their processes. Engineers and other technical staff work across domains including smart data capture, RFID, thermal printing and connected devices.
