The world is on the brink of a fourth industrial revolution that will fundamentally transform the way we live, work and play.

Already, technology is blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds with more and more physical assets being monitored and improved using digital technologies. Today, 5 billion physical assets are connected through the Internet of Things (IoT), and an estimated 5.5 million new physical assets are connecting every single day.

By 2020, industry pundits predict that 21 billion physical “things” will be connected through IoT, giving the world unprecedented visibility into physical assets.

Digital knowledge is power

In this increasingly digital world, businesses need to be as smart and as connected as the world they exist in. They must learn how to bridge the gap between the physical and the digital worlds.

That means taking full advantage of technology that gives a digital view into every aspect of a firm’s operations. This data can then be used to improve productivity, reduce expenses, increase opportunities for sustainable growth and ultimately deliver distinct competitive advantages.

Enterprise asset intelligence

With a focus on Enterprise Asset Intelligence, Zebra Technologies is helping customers do just that. In retail, Zebra’s retail solutions give visibility into store operations, customers, employees, assets, inventory, shipments and receipts. Their Real Time Location Services (RTLS) geo-target customers based on their location within the store and give visibility into valuable information on shopping habits and purchasing behavior.

Zebra devices also make check-out faster and help retailers ensure the correct location and placement of merchandise on the shelf.

Zebra helps customers to create and sustain growth with Enterprise Asset Intelligence that ensures real-time visibility into people, processes and things.
