Zebra Ventures Provide Funding for RFID Software Technology from Xemelgo
In a strategic move to accelerate intelligent automation and real-time visibility across industrial operations, Zebra Technologies has invested in Xemelgo, a pioneer in cloud-based RFID software. This investment is part of Zebra Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Zebra Technologies, and is aimed at driving innovation that empowers businesses to improve their operations every day.
Xemelgo's platform, enhanced with AI and IoT, delivers real-time visibility and intelligent automation across manufacturing, supply chain, and retail operations. The software integrates seamlessly with Zebra's hardware, thanks to their partnership as a Zebra Premier ISV partner. This partnership forms an end-to-end smart manufacturing ecosystem.
With over 100 factory deployments, including clients like Yamaha and SEKISUI Aerospace, Xemelgo has proven its effectiveness in optimizing production workflows, predictive maintenance, and reducing downtime. The company's software enables precise tracking of inventory, assets, and workflows with high accuracy, achieving efficiencies like a 99.8% inventory accuracy rate and up to 30% reduction in production delays.
Industries targeted by Xemelgo include manufacturing, supply chain and logistics, and retail. In the manufacturing sector, Curtiss-Wright reduced production delays by 90% using Xemelgo’s Work-In-Progress (WIP) tracking. In supply chain and logistics, the software enhances tracking and accountability for internal deliveries and inventory control with real-time data. In retail, Xemelgo offers real-time retail inventory visibility and improves supply chain transparency to meet sustainability and regulatory demands.
Key benefits of Xemelgo’s platform include AI-integrated RFID data analytics that identify patterns to optimize resource allocation and reduce waste. Predictive maintenance capabilities through real-time IoT sensor data reduce unplanned downtime by up to 50% in sectors like automotive and electronics manufacturing. Cloud-based modular solutions with pay-as-you-go options lower the barrier for mid-sized manufacturers to adopt RFID technologies.
Rich Rogers, Co-Founder and CEO of Xemelgo, is committed to helping customers achieve greater visibility, efficiency, and accuracy through intelligent automation. Andy Zosel, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intelligent Automation at Zebra Technologies, considers Xemelgo a clear innovator in smart manufacturing. Tony Palcheck, Vice President of Zebra Ventures, is also involved in this investment.
This investment will grow Xemelgo's development team and enhance its AI capabilities, further solidifying its position as a leader in cloud-based RFID software. The funding will also support Xemelgo’s expansion into new industries, ensuring that businesses across various sectors can reap the benefits of Xemelgo's smart manufacturing solutions.
