IOT AND DIGITAL SIGNAGE

 

Digital signage in transportation and logistics benefits operational teams by facilitating real-time communication, enhancing operational visibility, and reinforcing workplace safety. This optimizes workflows, reduces errors and costs, and promotes efficient execution of logistics operations. In this regard, an MDM solution allows complete supervision of screens: connectivity, installations, software updates, remote control, etc. Thus, there are no black screens, and security is maximum. Similarly, an MDM solution like Clyd enables managing and configuring various devices like printers.

MDM Solution Dedicated to Transportation and Logistics

 

Discover a tailored MDM solution for the transportation and logistics sector. From application kiosks to geolocation, each function meets a specific need. Clyd MDM offers multiple benefits: ease of use, ergonomics, and robustness, providing multi-brand management, mass deployment, and uncompromising security. In short, it is a versatile solution adapted to demanding environments like transportation and logistics.

Features

Application Kiosk

The application kiosk is a powerful control tool. Creating a secure workspace for Android devices goes beyond simply restricting access to applications and URLs. It builds a consistently controlled work environment, eliminating unnecessary features and applications that could hinder productivity. Limiting access to Android system settings and configurations allows the kiosk to offer ease of use without compromising security, creating an ideal ecosystem for efficient logistics operations.

Hardware And Software Inventories

Get complete visibility into all your devices and their hardware and software components. Proactively monitor the status of your device fleet, track software versions, and plan necessary updates with confidence. Stay informed and ready to act to maintain your mobile device fleet's performance, security, and optimization, ensuring smooth operation at every link in your logistics chain.

Battery And Network Monitoring

this feature provides constant vigilance over battery status and network stability in an environment where every second counts. In real-time, it ensures energy management, ensuring that each device is ready for action when it needs to be. By monitoring connectivity, it provides uninterrupted communication, thereby contributing to maintaining smooth and efficient logistics operations.

Remote Control

Remote control is akin to an instant link between the administrator and mobile devices, allowing real-time assistance wherever users are. This function ensures maximum responsiveness, whether to identify or resolve technical issues, deploy configurations, or manually perform remote updates.

Application Deployment

With just one click, application deployment ensures that each driver or operator has the necessary applications remotely—a practical solution in an industry where rapid communication and simultaneous updates across all devices are essential.

Geolocation And Geofencing

Providing precise geolocation of terminals, this feature offers instant visibility into routes taken, allowing optimal route management. On the other hand, geofencing acts as a virtual barrier, triggering alarms or immediate actions when leaving a predefined area. This combination of technologies provides an unprecedented level of control, contributing to strengthening security, optimizing routes, and reacting quickly to real-time events.

Provisioning (Configuration/Contacts)

Provisioning configuration and contacts are vectors for instant preparation for maximum efficiency. Imagine an employee must move between multiple warehouses, each with a distinct WiFi network. With the MDM solution, provisioning directly registers all necessary configurations on agents' terminals: no more tedious manual actions or time wasted configuring each network manually. With a single deployment, the MDM solution ensures that each agent is ready to operate in any environment, ensuring unparalleled fluidity in logistics operations.

Touch Blocking While Driving

This feature is particularly suitable for the transportation industry, blocking the terminal and deactivating touch usage once a certain speed is reached. This proactive measure helps reduce risks associated with using the terminal while driving, enhancing driver safety and ensuring compliance with road safety standards.

Message Broadcasting

This feature makes it possible to instantly send a message to all or part of the mobile fleet. These messages are displayed in the center of the screen like a pop-up, ensuring immediate visibility. Whether for transmitting urgent information, important updates, or critical instructions, this function offers a direct and effective channel to maintain reactive communication in the fast-paced rhythm of transportation and logistics.
