Zebra Technologies and enterprise AI in the APAC - AI News

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/zebra-technologies-and-enterprise-ai-in-the-apac-ai-news/

Zebra Technologies and enterprise AI in the APAC - AI News

Enterprise AI transformation is reaching a tipping point. In the Asia Pacific, Zebra Technologies has unveiled ambitious plans to change frontline operations across the region. At a time when CISQ estimates poor software quality will cost US businesses $2.41 trillion in 2022, the push for practical, results-driven AI implementation is urgent.

“Elements of our three-pillar strategy have been around for quite some time, but what’s revolutionising the frontline today is intelligent automation,” Tom Bianculli, Chief Technology Officer at Zebra Technologies, told reporters at a briefing during Zebra’s 2025 Kickoff in Perth, Australia last week. “We’re not just digitising workflows – we’re connecting wearable technology with robotic workflows, enabling frontline workers to seamlessly interact with automation in ways that were impossible just five years ago.”

Practical applications driving change

The real-world impact of enterprise AI transformation is already evident in Zebra’s recent collaboration with a major North American retailer. The solution combines traditional AI with generative AI capabilities, enabling fast shelf analysis and automated task generation.

“You snap a picture of a shelf, [and] within one second, the traditional AI identifies all the products on the shelf, identifies where there’s missing product, maybe misplaced product… and then it makes that information available to a Gen AI agent that then decides what should you do,” Bianculli explains.

This level of automation has demonstrated significant operational improvements, reducing staffing requirements at the retailer by 25%. When it detects missing stock, the system automatically generates tasks for the right personnel, streamlining what was previously a multi-step manual process.

APAC leading AI adoption

The Asia Pacific region is emerging as a frontrunner in enterprise AI transformation. IBM research presented at the briefing indicates that 54% of APAC enterprises now expect AI to deliver longer-term innovation and revenue generation benefits. The region’s AI investment priorities for 2025 are clearly defined:

– 21% focused on enhancing customer experiences

– 18% directed toward business process automation

– 16% invested in sales automation and customer lifecycle management

Ryan Goh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Asia Pacific at Zebra Technologies, points to practical implementations that are already driving results: “We have customers in e-commerce using ring scanners to scan packages, significantly improving their productivity compared to traditional scanning methods.”

Innovation at the edge

Zebra’s approach to AI deployment encompasses:

– AI devices with native neural architecture for on-device processing

– Multimodal experiences that mirror human cognitive capabilities

– Gen AI agents optimising workload distribution between edge and cloud

The company is advancing its activities in edge computing, with Bianculli revealing plans for on-device language models. This innovation mainly targets environments where internet connectivity is restricted or prohibited, ensuring AI capabilities remain accessible regardless of network conditions.

Regional market dynamics

The enterprise AI transformation journey varies significantly across APAC markets. India’s landscape is particularly dynamic, with the country’s GDP projected to grow 6.6% and manufacturing expected to surge by 7% YOY. Its commitment to AI is evident, with 96% of organisations surveyed by WEF actively running AI programmes.

Japan presents a different scenario, with 1.2% projected GDP growth and some unique challenges to automation adoption. “We used to think that tablets are for retail, but the Bay Area proved us wrong,” Goh notes, highlighting unexpected applications in manufacturing and customer self-service solutions.

Future trajectory

Gartner’s projections indicate that by 2027, 25% of CIOs will implement augmented connected workforce initiatives that will halve the time required for competency development. Zebra is already moving in this direction with its Z word companion, which uses generative AI and large language models and is scheduled for pilot deployment with select customers in Q2 of this year.

With a global presence spanning 120+ offices in 55 countries and 10,000+ channel partners across 185 countries, Zebra is positioned play strongly in the enterprise AI transformation across APAC. As the region moves from AI experimentation to full-scale deployment, the focus remains on delivering practical innovations that drive measurable business outcomes and operational efficiency.

Trump, Xi upbeat on trade after phone call; U.S. targets more Chinese firms

WASHINGTON/BEIJING (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who spoke by telephone on Thursday, expressed optimism about resolving their trade dispute ahead of a high-stakes meeting at the end of November in Argentina.

But within hours of upbeat assessment, the U.S. Justice Department took aim at another Chinese firm it accused of unfair practices, part of an across-the-board pressure campaign by the Trump administration targeting China.

Still, investors cheered the resumption of dialogue and a report that Trump was taking steps to resolve the tariff war, with shares in Asia hitting three-week highs on Friday and the dollar softening.

Trump said on Twitter that trade discussions with China were “moving along nicely,” and that he planned to meet Xi on the sidelines of a G20 summit, in Argentina, after the two had a “very good” phone discussion.

Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, later reported that Trump wants to reach a trade agreement with China at the G20 meeting and that after the call with Xi, he had asked officials to begin drafting possible terms.

The news agency said it was not clear if Trump was easing up on demands that China has resisted, and it cited one person as saying intellectual property theft was a sticking point on a possible deal.

In comments in state media, Xi said he hoped China and the United States would be able to promote a steady and healthy relationship, and that he was willing to meet Trump in Argentina.

“The two countries’ trade teams should strengthen contact and conduct consultations on issues of concern to both sides, and promote a plan that both can accept to reach a consensus on the China-U.S. trade issue,” Xi said on CCTV state television.

Xi was quoted as saying after the call with Trump that they had hoped to expand trade cooperation.

Neither leader specified any details of possible progress in their first known direct discussion in several months.

Trump administration officials have said that trade talks with China cannot resume until it comes up with specific actions it is willing take to meet U.S. demands for sweeping changes to policies on technology transfers, industrial subsidies and market access.

The two countries have imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of each other’s goods and Trump has threatened to put tariffs on the remainder of China’s $500 billion-plus exports to the United States if the disputes cannot be resolved.

Jacob Parker, vice president of China operations at the U.S.-China Business Council in Beijing, said there were plenty of challenges that would require significant negotiations in advance of a meeting between Trump and Xi to ensure success.

“What negotiations have lacked to date has been that (presidential) level of engagement. If President Trump makes an agreement with President Xi, there is nobody above them to overturn it,” he said.

“We’re optimistic this is a potential off-ramp of increasingly antagonistic trade tensions and hope it leads to a pause and new negotiations,” he said.

Tu Xinquan, a trade expert at Beijing’s University of International Business and Economics, said he was sceptical that the Trump administration was truly ready to deal, and that other factors, such as the mid-term congressional elections, could be driving statements from the administration.

“The best situation (from a Trump-Xi meeting) would be no further actions, temporarily. But the tariffs already imposed will not go away,” Tu said.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT

Just after the upbeat readouts of the Trump-Xi call, the Justice Department announced the latest in a list of actions against what the Trump administration calls China’s cheating through intellectual property theft, unfair corporate subsidies and rules hampering U.S. corporations in China.

A Justice Department indictment targeted two companies based in China and Taiwan and three individuals, saying they conspired to steal trade secrets from U.S. semiconductor company Micron Technology Inc.

This week, prosecutors announced an indictment against 10 defendants, including two Chinese intelligence officers and other computer hackers and co-conspirators, who are all accused of breaking into American company computers to steal data on a turbo fan engine used in commercial jetliners.

On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said China was probably Washington’s biggest long-term security challenge and the United States was engaged in a “multi-pronged effort … to convince China to behave like a normal nation on commerce” and respect international law.

But Trump struck a more affable tone on Twitter after the phone call with Xi.

“Just had a long and very good conversation with President Xi Jinping of China. We talked about many subjects, with a heavy emphasis on Trade,” Trump tweeted. “Those discussions are moving along nicely with meetings being scheduled at the G-20 in Argentina. Also had good discussion on North Korea!”

Earlier this week, Trump said he thought there would be “a great deal” with China on trade, but warned that he had billions of dollars worth of new tariffs ready to go if a deal did not materialize.

The United States has imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods, with duties on $200 billion of the total set to increase to 25 percent from 10 percent on Jan. 1, 2019.

China has responded with retaliatory duties on $110 billion worth of U.S. goods.
