The Danger of Not Knowing: 3 Key Questions to Ask

Question #1: How closely can you track the chain of custody for each device?

Question #2: What’s your confidence level in knowing who had which device, when and what happened to it, and how often it was in use throughout the worker’s shift?

Question #3: Are you charging and updating devices on a manual, one-off basis?

Because left unchecked, these issues cause obstruction and disruption to an effective enterprise workflow. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. Because the ultimate mobile device management solution is closer than you think.

• • People
  • Devices
  • Workflows

Workflows are often the first to show significant productivity gains. Now any workflow can be automated via software-driven management.

This shift to automation accelerates access to devices for workers at the beginning and the end of shifts. More efficiency gains come from eliminating manual distribution and documentation of devices.
Overall, automation of device management helps an enterprise better manage (and often minimize worker hours), reduces the possibility of human error, and promotes better allocation of company resources, both human and machine.

A better and smarter solution for device management is all within your immediate grasp. So too are immediate, tangible, and sustainable boosts in productivity, device reliability, and most important with transitory staffing, full worker accountability.

Intelligent Cabinets also help reduce damage to your devices. Because with accountable workers and more devices in use, there’s less downtime and increased productivity. All from an improved workflow and more efficient worker performance.

With rapid access and “at a glance’ status, all your mobile devices are organized, charged, and ready for use at the start of the shift with easy-to-spot displays to ensure each user accesses the correct device. No more waiting for a device to be ready initially or somehow battery-depleted during the worker’s shift.

Another ROI benefit is minimizing maintenance and operating costs. Zebra Intelligent cabinets are durable, flexible, and customizable to your needs, available floor space, and overall environment. Every cabinet component is engineered with industry experience and built to last for years of effective service.

Flexible Configurations Come Standard

Zebra Intelligent Cabinets provide infinite flexibility. These cabinets can accommodate several different devices: from 5 (compact) to 60 (X-Large) to 100 devices (Extreme).

Zebra Intelligent Cabinets | Feature Overview

Racks can be single or double-sided, depending on your device inventory. Cradle locks have mechanical locking for TC5X/TC7C charging cradles. Carts can be customized to your unique environmental conditions.

The cabinets can hold a variety of different combinations of devices in different arrangements. A “stadium” design can house more devices with the same footprint to maximize floor space.

There’s also a modern open-leaf design for easy access, passive cooling for reduced operating costs, and multi-level security offerings that can be easily configured.

Your Realtime Device Dashboard: The Zebra Access Management System

Intelligent Cabinets include the Zebra Access Management System (cabinet display + device application + portal) to effectively manage and track access to devices.

This system quickly identifies device readiness and loss issues whether in-cabinet on a charge, in use, or simply missing. At your fingertips are real-time updates to device status.

See the status of an entire site or all your cabinets across your operation via the Portal. You can also add, remove and configure devices, cabinets, and sites via the Portal and add devices via the Cabinet.

The Intelligent Cabinet system includes the following:

• • Customized solutions depending on specific use cases
