Zebra Technologies announced the updated release of the Link-OS environment. This combines an innovative new device operating system with a powerful software development kit (SDK) and software applications to make Zebra printers easier to integrate, manage and maintain. The Link-OS environment connects Zebra printers to the cloud and allows companies to access and manage them from desktop and handheld devices, including tablets and smartphones. Zebra is committed to advancing the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) innovations by making its solutions cloud-connected and scalable. These innovative and market demand-driven features enable organizations to harness information to make smarter decisions based on real-time information. Link-OS also reduces the cost and time spent on printer deployment, management and trouble-shooting. “At Zebra, we are always looking ahead to the changing expectations and growing demands for devices that are mobile, intelligent and connected to the cloud,” said Keith LeFebvre, vice president of product marketing and management, Zebra Technologies. “Our latest enhancements to the Link-OS environment are the next step in Zebra’s continued commitment to investing in new technologies to help our channel partners and customers take advantage of the exciting opportunities that the cloud, the Internet of Things and mobility are creating for improved visibility into enterprise value chains.” Currently available for the iMZ220, iMZ320, QLn and ZT200 series of Zebra printers, the features and apps for the Zebra Link-OS environment are highly flexible and give users creative new ways to integrate printers. Selected Link-OS printers feature Print Touch Near Field Communication (NFC) tags, which automatically launch helpful web pages and apps on NFC-enabled mobile devices. The AirWatch Connector app, created through a Zebra-AirWatch partnership, enables the management of multiple Link-OS devices from a single console. The Multiplatform SDK exposes the core features of the Link-OS apps to developers, reducing the time needed to create new apps with innovative features. Zebra plans to introduce additional Link-OS enhancements over time for greater functionality, as well as a broader range of compatible printers.
