Collaborating for Accessibility: Enabling Technology Together

In a world driven by technology, ensuring equal access for everyone is more important than ever. At Zebra, we're committed to creating a more inclusive future by building accessible technology. We know we can't do it alone, which is why we work with third parties to ensure our hardware and our partners’ software applications meet the defined accessibility requirements for our public-facing computing devices. Together, we work to configure our solutions and deploy them in a way that meets specific requested accessibility standards across retail, healthcare, transportation and logistics, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

Designed for Everyone: Our Accessible Product Features

We build extensible platforms and customizable systems.  We collaborate with trusted third‑party partners to adapt our hardware to documented accessibility requirements to meet the needs of the widest possible audience.
