1 Visibility that s Visionary: How Advanced Technologies are Transforming Capabilities in the plant and the warehouse Presented by: Mark Wheeler PRESENTATION TITLE 2017 MHI Copyright claimed for audiovisual works and sound recordings of seminar sessions. All rights reserved.

2 Agenda Supply Chain Priorities Mobile Client Architecture Task Optimization Systems of Reality

3 Supply Chain Priorities Speed Customization Perfect Execution The Intelligent Enterprise Visibility

4 The in-premise execution systems must move on from Win CE / Win Mobile 2015 IDC Mobile OS Market Share

5 Android Is Reducing Enterprise OS Fragmentation

6 The key-optimized handheld Still the dominant form factor for execution systems Will continue to be supported through Android Support for legacy systems User Interface / Mobile Client

7 The touch-optimized handheld Significant productivity improvement Can operate with legacy systems: Character-based screens Touch keyboards Can be optimized at the client to work with legacy systems Ready for browser and native clients

8 Client-side user interface for legacy systems BEFORE AFTER

9 Enhanced workflow with image capture Say Damaged Product Use the camera to capture condition of materials or shipment

10 Enhanced workflow with image presentation Leverage images for item verification Pack level confirmation Non bar-coded items

11 Systems of Reality: RFID Trends Retail adoption is driving RFID at item level Seeing steady growth in manufacturing, transportation & logistics, and healthcare Higher performance + Smaller form factors + lower cost Continuing to remove the human factor from more operations Integration of RFID technologies, one size does not fit all UHF, HF, NFC, UWB, BLE Data ---> actionable business information Importance of software and data analytics Data accuracy and integrity Moving toward the Internet of Things (IoT)

12 The expanding landscape of Real-Time Location Zebra and 3 rd party business applications Partner Apps Partner Integration Software Solutions Material Flow, Yard Management, Vehicle Tracking Asset Visibility integration (Supply Chain visibility, Asset location and status) SAP (Asset Manager) IBM Maximo (Asset Manager) Application and integration framework Data aggregation & business rules engine Application Framework (Data and event processing, persistence, visualization, notifications, APIs, SDK s) Location Platform (data interfaces and connectors, sensor APIs to any devices) Location and identification infrastructure Bluetooth Low Energy 1D or 2D Barcode Passive RFID ISO Ultra- Wide Band GPS Printers and Mobile Computer/Scanning Devices

13 Systems of Reality: Trailer Monitoring and Analytics RGB Image Depth Map Real-Time Dashboards

14 Trailer Monitoring and Analytics Monitor fullness of trailer while loading or unloading Monitor space utilization at load completion Enforce Safety and ergonomic practices

15 Systems of Reality: Smart Sensing for Retail Solution #1 PARTNER SOLUTIONS Solution #2 Solution #3 Inventory Management BUSINESS SOLUTIONS Omni-Channel Enablement Loss Prevention Find My Business Events (Event Engine) DATA ANALYTICS RFID Video Micro-Location AUTOMATED DATA CAPTURE

16 Smart Sensing for Retail: Use Cases

17 IT and OT convergence Technology is driving a convergence between the controls world and the IT world. Sensors can connect directly to the cloud More and more the control system are driving end user transactions to improve integration between the WMS / MES and the mechanized systems. Printers, scanners etc. need to connect to the controls system network easily. Gateway PLC OR

18 Key Takeaways Mobile client migration Operating system User experience New capabilities for task optimization Systems of reality Sensing plus analytics Visibility that s Visionary
