Podcasts about Zebra Technologies

Global supply chains are facing no shortage of complexity from shifting tariffs and changing consumer behavior to rapid advances in artificial intelligence. But having more technology and data does not automatically create a more resilient operation. What matters is how leaders interpret that information and turn it into action. In this episode of The Buzz, powered by Zebra Technologies, host Scott Luton is joined by guest co-host David Shillingford and Shannon Vaillancourt, founder and president of RateLinx. Together, they explore the latest developments affecting global trade, grocery spending, freight operations, supply chain resilience, and AI adoption. The conversation examines why resilience is ultimately a leadership challenge, how poor data can undermine even the most advanced technology, and where human judgment remains essential as organizations automate more decisions. Key Takeaways Why increased tariffs create additional complexity and uncertainty for global trade and supply chain teams How consumer spending pressures, food waste, inflation, and changing purchasing habits may be influencing grocery sales Why supply chain resilience requires action, not simply visibility, risk documentation, or additional technology How experienced leaders use patterns, information, and anticipation to make stronger decisions Why AI often exposes existing data-quality problems rather than creating new ones Which routine supply chain tasks are best suited for AI and where human oversight remains critical How technology can eliminate repetitive work and help teams focus on higher-value decisions Why conversations, collaboration, and real-world experience remain powerful sources of supply chain insight Supply chain leaders do not need more information for information's sake—they need the ability to recognize patterns, evaluate risks, and act with confidence. Tune in to hear practical perspectives on using AI responsibly, strengthening operational resilience, improving decision-making, and preparing your organization for the next disruption.

From rising diesel prices and China's evolving economy to Boeing's continued turnaround and the growing role of AI in logistics, this week's episode of The Buzz, powered by Zebra Technologies, covers the biggest stories shaping global supply chains. Scott Luton is joined by special co-host Blythe Milligan (Everything is Logistics) and featured guest Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics, for a timely conversation on freight markets, infrastructure, innovation, and what leaders should be paying attention to now. The discussion begins with the latest freight and economic headlines, including diesel price volatility, shifting global trade patterns, China's export performance, and what these trends mean for supply chain professionals. Scott and Blythe also explore Boeing's ongoing recovery and why trust remains one of the industry's most valuable currencies. Later, Matt Yearling joins the show to discuss an often-overlooked area of supply chain operations: the yard. He shares why yard management has become a strategic differentiator, how AI is driving measurable operational improvements, and why successful digital transformation requires more than simply adding new technology. Throughout the conversation, the panel emphasizes practical innovation, operational excellence, and the importance of people in every supply chain. Key Takeaways Diesel prices, freight rates, and geopolitical uncertainty continue to pressure transportation costs. China's manufacturing and export trends are reshaping global trade and nearshoring strategies. Boeing's recovery demonstrates that rebuilding trust takes years—but is essential for long-term success. AI delivers the greatest value through practical, incremental improvements rather than flashy automation. Yard operations remain one of supply chain's biggest untapped opportunities for improving efficiency and reducing costs. Technology succeeds when paired with operational expertise, strong processes, and empowered people. Whether you're navigating freight volatility, evaluating AI investments, or looking for new ways to improve operational performance, this episode delivers practical insights from experienced supply chain leaders. Tune in for thoughtful analysis of today's biggest headlines and actionable ideas you can apply across your own organization.

This episode of FreightWaves Today covers key developments across logistics, freight technology, and the industrial economy: Key Episode Highlights & Topics Industry News & AI Breakthroughs: The hosts review major headlines, including JB Hunt's partnership with startup Overroot to deploy AI-led freight execution platform agents across millions of loads. They also examine Forward Air's nonbinding agreement to retain 50% to 75% of a crucial $250 million account (believed to be NVIDIA) that was at risk due to customer diversification, alongside MARAD's agreement with the Port of Long Beach to test small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). Modal Shifts & Bulk Logistics with Circle Logistics: Nicholas Schipe, Director of Premium Transportation at Circle Logistics, discusses automotive expedited shipping, intermodal conversions, and chemical/liquid bulk freight. He highlights how supply disruptions, port downtimes, and domestic energy production trends (like wastewater and transformer oils) drive modal shifts between rail and truckload. AI and Automation in Warehousing: Andre Luecht, Global Strategy Lead for Transport & Logistics at Zebra Technologies, details how "physical AI," mobile devices, and environmental sensors (e.g., tracking temperature, shock, and ripening gases) empower frontline warehouse workers. He explains how smart assistants give frontline workers instant access to tribal knowledge and standard operating procedures. AAR Rail Data Analysis: The hosts break down the latest Association of American Railroads (AAR) weekly report, pointing to overall volume growth (up 3.4% total traffic, 3.8% intermodal) as a strong indicator of industrial momentum. They contrast solid U.S. demand with declines in Canadian auto parts and commodities tied to trade policy uncertainties. Class 8 Truck Orders & Used Market Dynamics: Chris Ciolino (Industrials Analyst from Bloomberg Intelligence) shares insights on strong Class 8 truck orders and dealer sentiment. He notes that while order backlogs are full through early 2027, much of the volume represents replacement demand ahead of EPA 2027 regulations rather than aggressive fleet expansion, due in part to driver shortages, engine pricing, and tariff impacts. Earnings & Financial Trends with Triumph: Aaron Graft, CEO and Founder of Triumph, breaks down their spectacular Q2 earnings. He reports a 26% increase in average invoice size in their factoring business and highlights why this tight, supply-driven freight market feels structural rather than short-lived. He also discusses operational efficiencies, their 65% market touch in brokered freight, and the rapid 49% growth of their LoadPay digital wallet product. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves Today Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

BONUS S6E8 A Zebra ZONE 2026 recap on pragmatic AI, on-device AI, super apps, and giving store associates their day backRicardo Belmar just got back from Zebra Technologies' ZONE 2026 conference in Nashville, where pragmatic AI was the main theme. In this special bonus episode of The Retail Razor Show, he and Casey Golden unpack what it all means for retail's frontline workers. This is a story about pragmatic AI, the kind that gives store associates and warehouse teams their day back instead of promising the moon.The headline from ZONE 2026? Zebra is no longer telling a devices story. It's telling a frontline platform story, anchored by on-device AI that runs with no cloud, no tokens, and no waiting. Ricardo brought back two exclusive interviews, with Zebra CTO Tom Bianculli and Mobile Computing chief James Poulton, plus a notebook full of stats, demos, and hallway conversations that deliver the full pragmatic AI story.We get into why frontline workers are drowning in 70 to 80 apps when they only use about a dozen, the super app built to fix it, real-time translation running live on a device, and why “tokenless” pragmatic AI became the word of the week. If you want to understand on-device AI and what it delivers for frontline workers, this episode is your shortcut.In This Episode, You'll Learn•     Zebra's three big software announcements: Nucleus, Workcloud IO, and Workcloud BI•     The 80-apps problem and the super app designed to collapse it down to one experience•     Why on-device AI, tokenless and at the edge, beats cloud round trips for frontline use cases•     Real-time translation in any language, live on the device•     Micro-learning, the “TikTok of learning,” and tackling 70 to 80% frontline turnover•     Picture proof of delivery: how a second and a half scales into tens of millions of dollars•     The octopus organization, and why intelligence belongs at the edge of the org•     James Poulton on why large language models are overhyped for the enterpriseWhy it mattersWe've spent years on this show arguing that your associate experience is your customer experience. ZONE 2026 felt like the technology industry finally catching up to that idea, treating frontline workers as the most under-invested asset in retail and giving them on-device AI that augments rather than replaces. Pragmatic AI wins on the accumulation of small moments, and that is the thread we pull all episode long.Subscribe & FollowIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5‑star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Goodpods. Subscribe on YouTube so you never miss an episode and check out the other shows in the Retail Razor Podcast Network: Retail Transformers, Blade to Greatness, and Data Blades.Subscribe to the Retail Razor Podcast Network: https://retailrazor.com/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://retailrazor.substack.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://go.retailrazor.com/utubeFeatured guestsTom Bianculli, Chief Technology Officer, Zebra Technologieshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-bianculli-9053892/James Poulton, SVP & GM, Mobile Computing, Zebra Technologieshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jamespoulton/Chapters00:00 Teaser01:01 Show intro02:12 What Zebra announced at ZONE 202604:00 The 80-apps problem and the super app06:53 Real-time translation on the device08:55 Tokenless, on-device AI explained11:46 Best moment: the octopus organization15:43 Interview: Tom Bianculli, CTO Zebra Technologies35:50 Recap: pragmatic AI and returning time to workers40:27 Interview: James Poulton, SVP & GM Mobile Computing53:21 Big takeaways from ZONE 202659:32 Show CloseMeet your hostsHelping you cut through the clutter in retail & retail tech:Ricardo Belmar is an NRF Top Retail Voice for 2025 and a RETHINK Retail Top Retail Expert from 2021 – 2026. Thinkers 360 has named him a Top 10 Thought Leader in Retail, a Top 25 Thought Leader in AGI and Careers, a Top 50 Thought Leader in Agentic AIand Management, and a Top 100 Thought Leader in Digital Transformation and Transformation. Thinkers 360 also named him a Top Digital Voice for 2024 and 2025. He is an advisory council member at George Mason University's Center for Retail Transformationand the Retail Cloud Alliance.

Send us Fan MailTom Scott is the CEO of Wrike, the work management platform trusted by over 20,000 customers including Walmart Canada and Sony Pictures Television, across more than 140 countries and nearly 2 million end users.Tom's path to the CEO seat is anything but conventional. He spent over 20 years leading finance and operations across some of the most hardware-intensive sectors in tech, from building cell towers to running finance at Zebra Technologies and autonomous robotics company Fetch Robotics, before joining Wrike as CFO and transitioning to CEO in July 2023.In this episode, Tom draws on that rare vantage point (having led through multiple waves of technological disruption) to make a case that the leaders and companies that treat organizational intelligence as a combination of human judgment and AI capability, rather than a replacement of one by the other, are the ones building something that lasts.In this conversation, we discuss:Why transformation remains stubbornly hard in the AI era, and what leaders consistently underestimate about the real blockers to changeWhy the biggest career risk today is not AI itself, but the decision to stop moving up the value stack of your current roleThe two words Tom's customers and team use most to describe the current moment: pace and noise, and what that means for leaders trying to drive transformation.How Tom coaches his leadership team to hire for intensity and ownership over domain expertise, and why that philosophy matters more now than everWhy a deterministic career plan is no longer a viable strategy, and what curiosity and experience-chasing actually look like as professional operating principlesWhat Tom believes will be table stakes in the workplace well before 2031, and why the building blocks are already visible todayExplore this conversation:00:00 Intro and Fun Fact04:08 Scaling Work Management with Tom Scott, CEO of Wrike 04:47 From Cell Towers to the CEO Seat at Wrike 05:51 How Wrike Helps Teams Connect and Accelerate Work 10:21 The Hardest Part of Transitioning to the CEO Role 14:13 Wrike's Origins: Building Scalability for Complex Workflows 17:04 Managing Pace and Noise During AI Transformations 21:20 Why True Organizational Intelligence Requires Human Judgment 25:54 Embracing Technology to Move Up the Value Stack 28:11 Why Curiosity Outweighs a Deterministic Career Plan 31:25 Hiring Empowered Teams: Selecting for Ownership and Intensity 34:31 The Future of Work: When Agentic AI Becomes Table Stakes 36:32 Where to Connect with Tom Scott and Wrike Resources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Thomas on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn How Decentralized Intelligence and Data Precision Are Reshaping the Future of AI

Kassaundra McKnight-Young, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer at Zebra Technologies, spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, during the HIMSS conference about how technology is transforming clinical workflows and improving patient care through real-time data access. McKnight-Young emphasized the critical role of nursing informatics in bridging the gap between clinical practice and technology. By equipping frontline caregivers with mobile devices and real-time data, healthcare organizations can improve decision-making, reduce administrative burden, and enhance patient outcomes. “When clinicians have access to the right information at the right time, it directly impacts the quality of care they can deliver,” she said. Zebra Technologies focuses on enabling real-time visibility across healthcare environments, providing tools that support communication, data capture, and workflow optimization at the point of care. These solutions help ensure that clinicians can access accurate patient information quickly, reducing delays and minimizing the risk of errors. The discussion also highlighted the growing importance of integrating technology seamlessly into clinical workflows. Solutions must be intuitive and reliable so that healthcare professionals can focus on patient care rather than navigating complex systems. As healthcare organizations continue their digital transformation journeys, conversations at HIMSS underscored the need for technologies that empower clinicians, improve operational efficiency, and support better patient outcomes through timely, actionable data.

Summary: Recorded live from the floor of HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas, this Brand Spotlight conversation with Chris Sullivan, Global Healthcare Practice Lead at Zebra Technologies, explores how technology — from RFID drug tracking to AI-powered frontline devices — is reshaping the way hospitals deliver care, reduce waste, and protect patients. From a groundbreaking pharmacy innovation at Texas Children's Hospital to Zebra's vision for ambient intelligence at the point of care, this is a candid look at what it means to build technology for the people who actually do the work. At HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas, the conversation keeps circling back to the same question: how can technology help healthcare workers spend more time with patients and less time chasing information? For Chris Sullivan, Global Healthcare Practice Lead at Zebra Technologies, that question is not hypothetical — it's the work. In this Brand Spotlight, Marco Ciappelli connects with Chris from the conference floor to talk about what's actually happening in healthcare technology right now. Zebra Technologies, a 55-year-old company with over 10,000 employees and more than 300 healthcare-specific products, has built its reputation by designing tools not for the corner office, but for the frontline worker — the nurse, the pharmacist, the care team member who needs the right information at exactly the right moment. One of the most compelling stories Chris shares is Zebra's partnership with Texas Children's Hospital, a world leader in pediatric oncology. The challenge: high-cost cancer medications — some exceeding a million dollars per treatment — were being lost, duplicated, or expiring before reaching patients. The solution was an RFID-based drug management system, built in partnership with a Texas software company, that now tracks medications throughout the pharmacy supply chain. The result? Millions of dollars in annual inventory savings, improved patient safety, and a model that Texas Children's is now actively sharing with hospitals in Amsterdam and beyond. But the RFID story is just one piece of a larger picture. What Zebra calls healthcare workflow orchestration — the coordination of people, assets, and information across a complex hospital environment — is the bigger ambition. Chris describes a three-part framework: asset visibility (digitizing wheelchairs, pumps, medications, and supplies), real-time information for caregivers (through mobile computers and hands-free wearables), and operational automation (like the pharmacy RFID system). Together, these elements are designed to remove friction from the care delivery process and give clinicians back the one thing they most want: presence with their patients. And then there's AI. Zebra has been building sensor-rich devices for years, and now those sensors — over 15 per device, capturing voice, video, and environmental data — are becoming the foundation for an AI platform built specifically for frontline workers. Chris draws a sharp distinction between AI for knowledge workers and AI for frontline workers, arguing that the needs, rules, and structures are fundamentally different. Zebra's approach is to pre-extract sensor intelligence into an open SDK with over 21 AI enablers, then package those into industry-specific blueprints that can be deployed in months rather than years. The conversation ends where it began: with people. Chris is both a technology provider and a healthcare board member, which gives him a perspective that's rare in this industry. He understands what it means when a caregiver is interrupted. He knows that a nurse who has to stop and look something up is a nurse who isn't holding a patient's hand. That's the problem Zebra is trying to solve — not with a flashy pitch, but with 55 years of frontline experience and a clear-eyed view of what the work actually looks like.

Recorded live at the NRF Big Show in New York, this episode of The Voice of Retail features Matthew Guiste, Global Retail Technology Strategist at Zebra Technologies, for a strategic discussion on how AI, RFID, and frontline enablement are redefining modern retail. Zebra Technologies, a $5+ billion global enterprise and pioneer in barcode scanning, now powers retail operations through mobile computing, RFID, computer vision, and AI-driven solutions. Guiste explains how Zebra's evolution is centered on enabling frontline associates with embedded intelligence — delivering AI capabilities directly into handheld devices and wearable tools used in-store. A core theme of the conversation is what Guiste calls increasing “technology density” — ensuring more associates have access to connected devices, task engines, communication platforms, and real-time data capture tools. Retailers that invest in frontline enablement see measurable productivity gains and improved employee retention. According to Zebra's 18th Annual Global Shopper Study, nine out of ten associates feel more positive about employers who provide modern digital tools. The discussion explores major operational friction points, starting with inventory accuracy — one of retail's most persistent blind spots. With industry-wide accuracy rates often hovering between 60–70%, omnichannel promises like buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS) become vulnerable. RFID adoption, fueled by lower tag costs and retailer mandates, is emerging as a transformative lever, enabling real-time inventory visibility and smarter checkout experiences. Self-checkout also comes under scrutiny. While consumer acceptance has grown significantly since 2019, execution gaps remain. Guiste outlines how the next phase will combine RFID and computer vision to reduce scanning errors, shrink loss, and move toward seamless self-checkout experiences. Returns management is another strategic priority. With return fraud estimated in the tens of billions annually, AI-powered computer vision tools can now assist associates in disposition decisions — determining whether items return to shelf, warehouse, or liquidation — all in real time. Looking ahead a decade, Guiste predicts fewer paper-based processes, disappearing physical receipts and credit cards, and wearable AI tools guiding associates dynamically through tasks — shifting retail from humans using machines to intelligent systems supporting human expertise. For retailers navigating AI adoption, omnichannel complexity, and workforce productivity challenges, this episode delivers clear, operationally grounded insight from one of retail technology's leading strategists.

When Nathan Winters led a supply chain team earlier in his career, he noticed something that would shape his leadership style: “The credibility you get by the operating leaders when they see you out in the field… is incredibly important.” Whether visiting customers, walking a manufacturing floor, or sitting in on operating meetings, Winters found that physical presence fostered trust—and that trust gave finance a real seat at the table.Today, as CFO of Zebra Technologies, Winters continues to emphasize business partnership grounded in proximity to operations. In the four years since he stepped into the CFO seat, Zebra has weathered post-COVID surges, global supply chain disruptions, and enterprise restructuring. The company's product footprint—often “hidden in plain sight,” from grocery checkout scanners to hospital wristbands—has expanded to include robotics and machine vision, Winters tells us.He's also broadened his own remit, taking on IT and cybersecurity leadership, including oversight of both the CIO and CISO. In that time, Zebra has reduced China-based production from 80% to 30% and introduced new AI capabilities like “Zebra Companion” to automate shelf management for retailers. Internally, Zebra launched a private LLM instance—“Z-GPT”—to streamline tasks from expense report queries to sales presentations.“Your job isn't to just close the books,” Winters tells us. “If you're not analyzing… finding new ways to think about things… you're getting passed up.” At Zebra, finance is not just a control function—it's a strategic force embedded in every operational stride.

The reason is simple: Zebra Technology has been in business for 55 years and has achieved an impressive amount of success in the commercial world. Jan states that 80% of Fortune 500 companies rely on Zebra for asset tracking. Yet, if one were to walk through a federal technology trade show, one would never identify Zebra. In today's interview, we focused on how Zebra Technologies has had a relentless focus on replacing pen-and-paper systems with modern technology. One unexpected benefit of streamlining asset tracking is the reduction in time to prepare reports. Jan Ruderman states that audit preparation can be reduced from eight hours to twenty minutes. Federal technology leaders are drowning in data, much of which is generated by devices such as Operational Technology under the control of Information Technology. Logistics management is the only way to get control of a rapidly changing system. The real lesson is an application of commercial success to the needs of a federal government that is increasingly operating at the edge.

Most of the noise around AI focuses on developers, creatives, and knowledge workers. But what about everyone else? The nurses, store associates, logistics teams, and warehouse staff make up nearly 80 percent of the global workforce. In today's conversation, I sat down with Tom Bianculli, Chief Technology Officer at Zebra Technologies, to talk about AI that meets people where they work. Not in a document editor or code repository but on the shop floor, in hospital corridors, and inside fulfillment centers. Tom shared how Zebra's strategy, built on research, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships, is helping to bring practical, purpose-built AI to frontline industries. From generative assistants to machine vision systems, Zebra is developing tools that support real-world tasks without replacing the people doing them. Whether it's improving shelf visibility in retail, enabling rapid quality control in manufacturing, or automating picking assistance through wearable cameras, the focus is on helping workers complete their tasks more efficiently, accurately, and with greater satisfaction. One of the standout topics was Zebra Companion, the company's AI-powered assistant for frontline teams. With four dedicated agents covering knowledge, sales, merchandising, and device support, it is a tool designed for immediacy, speed, and seamless integration with the daily workflow.  Tom explained how Zebra is utilizing feedback from pilot programs to enhance the experience and why a human-centered approach to automation is crucial for reducing attrition and boosting morale. We also examined how AI and machine vision are driving measurable improvements in logistics and manufacturing. Recent acquisitions have strengthened Zebra's capabilities in 3D vision and high-speed industrial scanning. Looking ahead, we discussed omniscient store concepts, collaborative robotics, and the increasing value of real-time operational data. While much of the AI conversation stays focused on the office, Zebra is showing what happens when intelligence meets physical work. This episode is a reminder that AI is not just about prompts and pixels. It is also about boxes, shelves, scanners, and real people doing real jobs. How is your business planning to bring AI to the teams that keep everything moving?

Since then, the railroad industry, Congress, and safety agencies have been haggling over how to make trains safer to prevent such future accidents.
