Zebra SmartSight recognized as innovative IoT solution by Compass Intelligence

Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, today announced that Compass Intelligence recognized its SmartSight™ intelligent automation solution with an IoT Retail & Customer Experiences Innovator Award. The Retail & Customer Experiences category evaluated solutions that support industry innovation, advancements in processes or operations specific to retail services, customer experience enhancements, transaction automation, innovative buying experiences, and other retail advancements.
 
SmartSight is the retail industry’s first subscription-based robotics solution that turns data into corrective actions for mass merchants, grocers, and supermarkets/hypermarkets. It is comprised of the EMA50 mobile automation system, retail automation software platform and both professional and managed services. Using 2D and 3D sensors, SmartSight creates a digital twin of stores and their shelves to help determine if there are out-of-stocks, price integrity or planogram compliance issues. The retail automation software platform then determines the corrective action needed and assigns a task to the nearest store associate’s mobile computer in real time.
 
“We are honored that SmartSight has been recognized with a 2020 Compass Intelligence IoT Innovator award,” said Joe White, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Enterprise Mobile Computing, Zebra Technologies." 

​With SmartSight, retailers can dedicate human associates to focus on higher value tasks, such as helping customers in store. SmartSight, including the EMA50, leverages Zebra’s deep retail experience and market leadership over the last 50 years. Our solutions help reduce the time front-line workers spend monitoring the status of shelves and increase their availability to interact directly with shoppers and improve the shopping experience.”
 
When used with the EMA50 enterprise mobile automation system, SmartSight can provide 95% accuracy in identifying stockouts, misplaced product, incorrect price labels, and location and planogram compliance. SmartSight provides brick-and-mortar retailers a performance edge by autonomously prescribing corrective actions to associates based on what is happening at the shelf. By substantially reducing out-of-stock conditions and improving inventory availability, SmartSight with EMA50 enables retailers to better utilize store labor and minimize price issues. This leads to higher levels of in-store revenue and customer satisfaction along with reduced price non-compliance fines.
 
“SmartSight offers the retail industry an innovative solution to provide real-time intelligence and insights across store operations while freeing up workers to focus on more patron-facing services,” states Stephanie Atkinson, CEO of Compass Intelligence. “We applaud Zebra and its entire team for combining automation, video analytics, robotics technology, and real-time data analytics to enhance the retail experience.”

Roambee Corporation, a leader in on-demand logistics visibility won the Compass Intelligence IoT Asset Management award for its recent product release: the BeeSense Air, which makes it possible for any actor in the air cargo supply chain to get first-hand visibility at a package level.
​
The BeeSense Air is a Non-Dangerous Goods (Non-DG), live sensor technology that is purpose-built to monitor the location and condition of air shipments first hand, from door to door. It works without relying on anyone in the chain of custody and without encountering restrictions on sensors imposed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) arising from the use of Lithium batteries.

The ability to monitor air cargo across all legs of its journey is critical to ensure on-time, in-full (OTIF) deliveries, especially at a time when industries such as Pharma, Food, Consumer Electronics, and eCommerce are tackling new logistics challenges brought about from air freight capacity reduction. This sensor technology is also being adopted swiftly by the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers and distributors to ensure that clinical trials verifiably reach their target locations on time and intact, pre-empting the impact of environmental changes on vaccine stability.

The Non-Dangerous Goods (Non-DG) BeeSense Air technology generates first-hand visibility signals, irrespective of whether the package is in the hands of the shipper, at the airport, or on its last-mile journey. These signals help detect and predict critical logistics anomalies, such as if a package is segregated from the lot, if it missed loading the flight, or if it took-off on the wrong flight. You will also be alerted if the consignment is handled incorrectly, if it is facing a temperature or humidity excursion in airport storage or on the tarmac, and if the estimated time of arrival (ETA) is impacted.

Vidya Subramanian, Roambee’s Vice President of Products said, “Lithium-Ion batteries, the same variant used in mobile phones that recently caused issues on some flights a few years ago, is a critical component that powers live IoT sensors through a multimodal air cargo journey. Most IoT sensors are thus labelled as Dangerous Goods (DG) on flights and restricted in volume per Airway Bill (AWB). The BeeSense Air, which is a Non-DG, flight-safe, wire-free sensor uses both cloud and edge data to communicate only when required, optimizing its Non-Lithium batteries to last the journey.”

Subramanian further added, “You can safely monitor every package within an AWB now! When combined with Roambee’s Honeycomb Visibility platform and AI-enabled insights & foresights, manufacturers, freight forwarders, and airlines alike can improve logistics efficiency and proactively achieve quality control without relying on any supply chain actor for traceability – truly democratizing air cargo visibility.”

Innovative IoT companies, organizations, products, platforms, and solutions are honored each fall by Compass Intelligence through incoming nominations to the IoT Innovator Awards program, along with a voting process to recognize leading companies or organizations. Roambee is proud to be among the 26 companies recognized this year including Verizon, Signify, Trilogy Networks, Telit, IBM, Zebra Technologies, Volkert, ClearBlade, Vigilent, Assured Wireless, Vivint, Digital Matter, Spireon, Pedigree Technologies, ORBCOMM, ADLINK Technology, MediaTek, Medigate, NimbeLink, T-Mobile, Roambee, SkyBitz, Aptilo Networks, Skyward, ZEDEDA, and KORE.
