MDM Capabilities for Rugged Devices
Device Enrollment
Similar to consumer-grade devices you can enroll rugged android handheld devices using Android Enterprise or other enrollment methods and Windows 10 based rugged devices using Windows Autopilot.
Device Provisioning
After devices are enrolled in the MDM, you can push apps and content to the devices in bulk without any user intervention. Once these rugged devices are set up and configured with required apps and data, they can be delivered to the users and workers for field use.
Device Security
It is important to secure the devices when they are in field-use. Any unintentional or unintentional misuse of the device can be expensive to the business due to downtime. SureMDM mobile device management tool can configure kiosk mode on rugged handheld devices to ensure only approved apps are available to users.
MDM provides additional features to lock and wipe devices remotely in case they are lost or stolen, to avoid any potential data breach.
Strict password policy based on corporate security requirements can be configured on the device. Our mobile device management tool will ensure the devices remain compliant to these policies.
