Frequently Asked Questions

What location technologies does Zebra Technologies use for healthcare asset tracking?

Zebra combines passive UHF RFID (readers, antennas, tags) and barcode for asset and inventory tracking, with RTLS location technologies including UWB, BLE, and Wi-Fi RSSI for real-time positioning. Healthcare-grade mobile computers add scanning and contextual location services.

Does Zebra integrate with Epic?

Yes at the device level. Zebra's TC52-HC healthcare touch computer is formally approved for Epic's Rover clinical mobile app, letting clinicians access and update the EHR at the bedside. Asset-tracking and RFID data typically reach the EHR through middleware or partner integrations rather than a turnkey native link.

Is Zebra Technologies a healthcare-focused company?

No. Zebra is a broad enterprise hardware company (founded 1969, Lincolnshire IL, roughly $5.4B revenue and around 10,700 employees in 2025). Healthcare is one vertical, served with healthcare-grade devices, RFID, and RTLS, not the company's sole focus.

Does Zebra have hospital RFID asset tracking deployments?

Yes. Instituto do Coracao (InCor) in Sao Paulo deployed Zebra FX7500 fixed readers, MC3300xR handhelds, and AN510/AN480 antennas for wheelchair and asset tracking. Hull University Teaching Hospital runs one of Europe's largest RFID-for-RTLS healthcare deployments using Zebra. Reported outcomes are operational rather than numeric.
