Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global leader in digitising and automating workflows to deliver intelligent operations, today announced a major expansion of its software portfolio.

The company launched a new solution that enables IT leaders and frontline workers to be more efficient and turn data into decisive action.  The launch of Zebra Nucleus underscores Zebra’s focus on empowering a connected frontline.

A Single Source for Device Management

For IT and operations leaders, Zebra Nucleus simplifies how they set up, secure, manage and optimise their device fleets. By uniting Zebra’s value-added DNA software ecosystem into a single platform, this solution provides real-time visibility into device deployment, health, and performance.

“Our new Nucleus platform provides our customers and partners with a common interface for configuration and control across our entire portfolio, simplifying deployments and accelerating the time to value,” said Tom Bianculli, Chief Technology Officer, Zebra Technologies. “When their frontline tools are fully optimised, organisations can make smarter, faster decisions and manage their operations with confidence.”

Nucleus unlocks Zebra’s powerful software-driven advantages across an organisation’s entire operation. With Nucleus, users gain:

  • Complete visibility and control: Achieve full oversight of the Zebra ecosystem on a single
    platform with seamless user experiences, regardless of device type.
  • Combined inventory: Administer large fleets of enrolled Zebra devices in one consolidated view, simplifying management and oversight.
  • Simplified onboarding: Add, configure, and update devices safely with automated, no-touch
    enrolment and provisioning.
  • Flexible integration: Use as a complete standalone solution or seamlessly alongside existing
    enterprise management tools.
  • Enhanced security: Keep your devices and business protected with instant notifications and
    updates to the latest software patches and security firmware.
  • Centralised license management: Manage subscriptions and licenses for all your Zebra
    devices, all in one place.

    features such as remote “no touch” configuration, updates, and device controls through one paid license.

Zebra Nucleus Connector

Joining the launch of Nucleus is the introduction of Zebra Nucleus Connector, a free mobile app for Android and iOS that makes the process of setting up and configuring Zebra thermal printers easier and faster. Users of any technical skill level can now configure their printers with a simple, modern interface and intuitive guidance, with all printer setup, connectivity, configuration, and update steps combined into one easy-to-use app. 

Printer configurations in four critical areas (connectivity, security, media, Nucleus enrolments) can be saved as printer profiles for easy setup. A single printer setting profile can bundle these four configurations for rapid deployment to printers via NFC tap-and-pair.
