Built-in Wisdom
Zebra DataCapture DNA’s built-in wisdom provides capabilities that leverage everything we’ve learnt about technology, users, and thousands of use cases to ease your journey with our scanners. Auto-detect and program your devices for rapid deployment; configure them at the point of use; simplify fleet management, and much more to give your teams unmatched users experiences over the lifetime of every Zebra scanner.
Team Advantage
Zebra DataCapture DNA empower teams across your enterprise. It gives IT the ability to ensure your scanners are optimised to support your specific workflows. And your workers gain the power to prioritise barcodes, or capture them all at once; to read virtually any barcode the first time, every time; and ultimately to scan more, faster—all by simply pulling the trigger.
Covering Every Stage
From scanner integration and deployment, to management and optimisation, Zebra DataCapture DNA covers every stage of your scanning journey. Develop apps faster, leverage remote management and troubleshooting tools, update firmware, view stats, generate reports and correct small issues before they become big problems. With this level of agility, your scanners can evolve with your business needs.
