For decades, ETI Automation has partnered with the industry’s leading manufacturers to bring you best-in-class products and custom-engineered solutions. We are proud to be your one-stop shop for the most complex automation applications.
Today, we are thrilled to highlight our partnership with Zebra Technologies, which allows us to provide you with the industry’s broadest and most powerful portfolio of fixed industrial scanning and machine vision solutions.
Why Zebra Technologies? A Legacy of Innovation
Zebra has been a global leader in data capture technology for decades. Their industry-leading barcode solutions, RFID tools, and mobile devices are trusted by enterprises worldwide. When they launched their automated vision solutions, they brought groundbreaking simplicity and unprecedented scalability to the industry with an innovative lineup of interoperable scanners, smart cameras, and software.
The Game-Changer: Zebra Acquires Matrox Imaging
Zebra then took its capabilities to the next level. Their 2022 acquisition of Matrox Imaging created a comprehensive portfolio of hardware and software that far exceeds any other manufacturer’s capabilities.
As a premier partner for Zebra, ETI Automation now delivers solutions that address everything from basic track-and-trace applications to the most complex inspection, recognition, and guidance tasks.
Whether your focus is greater throughput, improved accuracy, or enhanced quality, ETI Automation and Zebra can help. We leverage the power of a single-source provider to offer streamlined, field-proven solutions for your most critical operational goals.
The Unmatched Zebra Portfolio: Hardware & Software
With the integration of Matrox Imaging, Zebra has built the broadest available ecosystem of machine vision hardware and software. This comprehensive approach allows ETI to design and implement a wide range of solutions that can evolve and grow with your operational requirements.
Advanced Vision Hardware
Zebra’s hardware lineup now includes:
- Fixed Industrial Scanners: To easily track and trace parts and packages throughout fast-moving operations.
