The Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining traction in every industry and sector, from consumer electronics and retail to transportation and logistics, and even healthcare. This trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.

IoT is a powerful tool which allows businesses to improve their operational efficacy, the quality of the customer experience they provide, the insights they gain, and the quality of the decisions they make on their business’s success.

When business-critical Internet of Things devices go down, an organization can lose visibility into its operations. The consequences are severe, including lost income, efficiency, and safety.

A greater dependence on IoT results in an increase in the management complexity required for things like device analytics, remote assistance, firmware updates, and security measures. How are all of the numerous device makers, models, firmware versions, and communication protocols going to be managed inside a unified IT infrastructure for an enterprise? That’s where our longtime partners at SOTI come in.

IoT Management Solution: SOTI Connect

SOTI Connect is an Internet of Things management solution that enables organizations to effectively manage and gain visibility into the diverse and numerous Internet of Things–enabled devices that are spread throughout their operations, all while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of those devices.

SOTI Connect is able to swiftly locate, configure, and deploy new IoT-enabled devices because its design is very flexible and data-driven. It also supports key communication protocols, which enables it to do so regardless of the make, model, or firmware of the device. It provides access to information about devices in real time and the capacity to store that information for later use in analyses.

SOTI Connect is a highly effective component of a comprehensive set of solutions.

Monitor and Automate IoT Devices

Smart devices, such as industrial and mobile printers and sensors, give businesses the ability to automate their operations, collect data, monitor every element of their Internet of Things deployments, and identify potential issues before they arise.

Organizations have been able to cut their operating costs while simultaneously increasing the productivity of their personnel and operations by implementing networks of IoT-enabled devices that are able to communicate with one another.

With SOTI Connect, you make the very most of your investment on a single IoT platform.

Zebra Technologies’ best-in-class fleet of mobile and industrial printers is now supported and managed by SOTI Connect. SOTI’s IoT management solution enables organizations in many sectors to manage, protect, and gain greater insight into all IoT devices across their operations.

Zebra and SOTI have worked together for years to develop and mutually test novel strategies for SOTI MobiControl to efficiently manage Zebra mobile computers. This entails supporting Zebra LifeGuard OTA, integrating Zebra secure remote control APIs, and allowing the quick conversion of Zebra devices to Android™ Enterprise.

The Business Case for an IoT Device Management Solution

With improved Zebra printer administration offered by SOTI Connect, which is a component of the SOTI ONE Platform, a long-standing cooperation now becomes even stronger.

Many organizations rely on internal resources to manage IoT devices. Zebra also provides their own excellent mobile device management. Where SOTI Connect really shines is helping reduce total ownership costs.

The costs and time required to deploy, manage, support, secure, and update hundreds of devices quickly adds up. Hours of productivity lost when a printer goes down. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in data lost in a data breach. “Missing” devices. Troubleshooting firmware updates manually.

Discover how to effectively manage Zebra printers at scale in the video below.

Zebra Printer Management Is Easy With SOTI Connect

Take control and ensure your Zebra printers perform at their very best.

Quick Deployment

It doesn’t have to take hours or days to deploy and set your Zebra printers up. As soon as your Zebra printers are connected, customize them to match the specific requirements of your company and you’re done.

Better Visibility

Gather important information, like the state of the battery, the device’s temperature, memory consumption, data usage, and printing speed. Take action based on data to increase the efficiency and return on investment of your Zebra printers, whether they are located nearby or halfway across the world.

Protection from Data Breaches

60 percent of firms worldwide experience data loss due to printer security breaches. With one click, you can update firewall configurations and apply security updates on your Zebra printers at scale.

Automated Error Alerts

If a printer isn’t functioning properly, SOTI Connect automatically sends remediation steps to resolve issues as soon as possible. This cuts down on expensive downtime as well as the total cost of ownership for your fleet of Zebra printers.

When the needs of enterprises have evolved, devices are increasingly accessing more and being used in a wider variety than what Android’s original device admin API was designed for. If you are currently using device admin to manage your devices, you need to be prepared for the migration.

Device admin isn’t suitable for today’s enterprise requirements, we recommended customers to adopt managed device and work profile modes to manage their devices. To support this transition, we have provided a presentation below as a migration guide. One of the two types of migration we recommend company- owned devices to be set up as managed devices, where these devices can be managed on an Android enterprise profile.
