Zebra DataWedge Configuration
The following are instructions for setting up to use the Zebra DataWedge interface on all Zebra Android based mobile devices. Prior to March 2022 the scanner interface for Zebra devices in the Cadacus Handheld WMS Solution used the Zebra EMDK software developers kit for access to the scanning engine. This has resulted in multiple application being published for different Zebra devices. Zebra claims the DataWedge is a device independent method and will work across their entire platform. The DataWedge interface uses the standard Cadacus Handheld WMS APK allowing companies to use a single APK across all devices (Zebra or other manufacturers).
Step 1 - Handheld WMS configuration
In SYSPRO in the Handheld WMS the scanner type on the Options 1 tab must be set for "Zebra/Motorola/Symbol".
