How the WS50 Delivers Complete Functionality and Flexibility in the Palm of Your Hand 

In addition to automated data capture and workforce communication, Zebra’s small wearable computer facilitates many other workflows, so teams can accomplish more while on the go. Leverage Android’s user-friendly interface to:

• Minimize employee training – Android already powers over half of consumer-grade devices, bringing familiarity into the warehouse. Workers using Android devices tend to be productive in less time given the platform’s intuitive nature. 
• Assign tasks remotely – Push-to-talk features also enable teams to diffuse tasks in real-time, ensuring workers receive the support they need, whenever they need it. 
• Manage battery lifecycles – The WS50 is equipped with hot-swappable batteries to protect unbroken uptime for an entire shift. Furthermore, modular charging solutions enable real-time battery management to notify teams when devices need to be recharged. 
• Ensure connectivity within the four walls – Zebra’s pre-installed Wireless Fusion delivers superior WiFi connectivity to keep applications running from anywhere within your facility.  
• Document photos – The WS50’s high-resolution 13MP camera allows you to capture and upload crisp images to your central database for detailed reporting. 
• Protect data – Unlike unsupported operating systems, Android provides users with ongoing OS updates and security patches. Zebra’s LifeGuard and Mobility Extensions take you a step further with government-grade encryption and multi-factor authentication to protect data from unauthorized access. 
• Add new applications without complex coding – Lastly, Android’s open application ecosystem and Zebra’s Mobility DNA applications assist in developing additional apps to expand your device’s functionality without extensive IT involvement.
