Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a leading digital
solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect
data, assets, and people, today announced its sponsorship of the
NFL Health & Safety Summit from March 25-28, adjacent to the
NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla. The Summit brings together
medical, athletic training, sports performance, and equipment
representatives from all 32 Clubs, the League office, NFL partner
organizations, and third-party experts.
“Our partnership with Zebra is enabling the NFL to bring the
future to the field faster,” Jennifer Langton, Senior Vice
President, Player Health and Innovation, National Football League.
“The data provided by Zebra allows trainers and team personnel to
work more efficiently in managing the training and loads of each
player to help predict and prevent injuries as well as optimize
player performance.”
An industry leader in RFID, Zebra is the Official Real Time
Location Solutions Provider of the NFL. For the past ten seasons,
Zebra has tracked every player on every team for every game, every
week of the NFL season. The company uses RFID to track players and
footballs to generate data for the NFL’s Next Gen Stats platform to
enhance the fan experience.
Since 2021, Zebra has also tracked equipment – helmets, shoulder
pads, knee braces, and cleats – worn during games for use in
analytics to improve the health and safety of players. The NFL uses
Zebra’s RFID tags in players’ equipment to generate data which
enhances player performance, informs training and recovery
decisions as well as supports injury prevention, workload
management, game planning and return-to-play situations.
“A broader data set enables the teams to better analyze,
evaluate, train and game plan to improve player results on the
field and mitigate risks,” said Joe White, Chief Product &
Solutions Officer, Zebra Technologies. “The real-time insights
Zebra provides on the football field apply to warehouse operations,
manufacturing plants, retail stores and beyond, tracking the
location and movement of goods, assets and people to optimize
performance, safety and business outcomes.”
Beyond sports, Zebra serves customers of all sizes with a
portfolio of hardware, software, services, and solutions that
digitize and automate workflows. When businesses work with Zebra,
supply chains are more dynamic, customers and patients are better
served, and front-line workers are more engaged through new ways of
working with technology.
