Zebra and INFORMATICS transcend system boundaries

Zebra Technologies and INFORMATICS Healthcare are committed to implementing simple and smart processes and streamlining work in clinical settings. The partnership we have maintained for several years with Zebra Technologies, the world’s largest provider of data collection and processing devices and software, has already helped a number of customers improve their processes.

Barcode scanners are used across various industries; for example, at our clients Mich. Weyermann and Austria Card AG, they are used for inventory tracking, labeling samples, and order picking in the logistics sector. In the healthcare sector and at clinical facilities, medical staff—such as those performing blood draws—benefit from this integration between Mobile Framework and Zebra.

The devices are lightweight, portable, and feature both a barcode scanner and an RFID scanner. Thanks to Zebra’s Android development partnership with Google, software updates for the Android base system are guaranteed for up to 10 years. This makes investing in Zebra devices and SAP-based applications a sustainable choice.

The best of both worlds

With Mobile Framework, it is already possible today to add barcode scanning functionality to Fiori applications. However, it has become clear that Zebra’s barcode module offers unmatched camera sensitivity, making it the recommended choice for general use with our solution. This sensitivity provides unparalleled added value for the scanners, especially in low-light conditions.

Zebra devices also help meet the requirements of hospital information systems and healthcare providers. For example, the MFW and SAP i.s.h.med enable MDR-compliant processes to be carried out in hospitals and clinical facilities.

These practical solutions are built entirely on the APIs provided by SAP i.s.h.med, thereby eliminating the need for cross-system interfaces. Based on this architecture, only MDR-certified components are used in the core processes, ensuring that the hospital operates in compliance with legal requirements.

Online Event: Healthcare and Digitalization

In July, our healthcare experts demonstrated how mobile devices can pave the way for MDR-compliant processes in SAP i.s.h.med during the online event “GS1 meets Zebra,” which focused on healthcare and digitalization.
