FROM MOBILE DEVICE TO DESKTOP – FLEXIBLE WORK
Zebra Workstation Connect docking systems for fast workflows. The Zebra Workstation transforms classic mobile devices such as handheld terminals or tablets into fully functional desktop workstations – with just one simple step. Simply insert the mobile device into the appropriate cradle and the docking station connects to the monitor, keyboard, mouse, network, and much more.
What is the Zebra Workstation?
The Zebra Workstation is not a traditional workstation, but rather a docking system that, in conjunction with Zebra mobile computers or tablets (e.g., from the TC or ET series), creates a complete desktop environment. The mobile computer is placed in the docking station and connected to a monitor, keyboard, mouse, network, or peripherals via HDMI, USB, or Ethernet.
Benefits for companies
- Cost savings: Lower hardware costs for each workstation, a single device replaces multiple devices (handheld and desktop or laptop computer).
- Space saving: Especially in confined environments such as shifts, branches or warehouses.
- Increased productivity: No more time-consuming device changes, data transfers, or synchronizations.
- Scalability: The workstation is compatible with various Zebra devices – ideal for growing teams.
Application scenarios in everyday work
Health services
In everyday hospital practice, nurses document vital signs or medications directly at the patient's bedside. Once in the ward, the device is transferred to the Zebra workstation, where data is transferred to patient records and reports are generated – securely and efficiently.
Retail & Branch Operations
Employees on the sales floor use mobile devices for price checks and inventory queries. In the back office, the same device plugs into the workstation and serves as a terminal for reports, email communication, and complaint processing. One device – two workstations.
Warehouse & Logistics
A warehouse worker uses his handheld computer in the morning to scan items in receiving and record inventory. At shift handover, he plugs the device into the Zebra workstation, opens a dashboard on the connected monitor, and seamlessly transfers all data to the ERP system. Thanks to the keyboard and mouse, queries can be handled quickly – without having to switch devices.
