Enhancing operational efficiency and workplace productivity are critical for any business today. To achieve these objectives, businesses need to implement multiple technologies that can co-exist and complement each other.
Traceability technologies have seen widespread adoption across industries over the past decade, and this trend has shown no signs of slowing down. For instance, the number of IoT-connected devices is projected to reach 30.9 billion units by 2025. Blockchain technology adoption has seen a surge across industries, with the global blockchain market expected to grow to $163 billion by 2027. The global RFID market is also projected to reach $15.84 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.72%, while the market value of healthcare barcode scanners is expected to reach $33.72 billion by 2030.
The applications of traceability technologies are continuously expanding, both for improving enterprise operational efficiency and enhancing end-customer experiences. Mobile device management (MDM) has also played a key part in driving the impact of traceability technologies. Businesses often rely on a fleet of devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, PCs, peripherals, and more) to provide flexibility to their workforce and achieve high operational efficiency. Right from accessing internal emails and service requests to tracking delivery consignments in real-time, mobile devices are integral in empowering today’s workforce. As a result, securing and managing all enterprise devices is a key priority for all businesses, especially devices that use traceability technologies. In this blog, we explore the synergy between 42Gears and QodeNext, our trusted partner and a leading provider of supply chain traceability technologies, and why MDM is key in achieving the full potential of devices that use traceability technologies.
Traceability Technologies Have Revolutionized Device and Asset Management
Traceability technologies, like Barcode, IoT, and RFID tags, have played a huge part in transforming enterprise operations and enhancing customer experiences. Traceability technology service providers, like QodeNext, empower businesses through solutions that offer complete visibility and connectivity in their supply chain operations.
Let’s take a quick look at the traceability technologies that have been incorporated by businesses for streamlining and optimizing their business functions:
GPS
RFID
Wi-Fi Positioning
Barcode Scanners
Internet of Things (IoT)
Blockchain
To successfully implement these technologies, multiple devices and endpoints need to work in tandem. As a result, the need for a comprehensive endpoint management solution for businesses implementing traceability technologies is at an all-time high.
Why Mobile Device Management is a Necessity for Businesses Across Industries
MDM and Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) technologies have evolved over the past decade, offering features and capabilities that go beyond traditional management of enterprise and business-issued devices in the workplace.
Technologies like rugged device management, things management, wearable device management, kiosk management, digital signage solutions, etc., have also been added to MDM platforms, providing businesses with a deeper layer of device management capabilities by converting devices to provide single-purpose experiences.
One key advantage MDM solutions offer is the seamlessness in which they can integrate into existing enterprise setups, and co-exist with other technologies like traceability solutions. MDM solutions provide the necessary tools to simplify endpoint management and secure traceability technologies from cybersecurity threats and disruptions to existing operational processes.
Let’s take a closer look at how businesses can boost their productivity and enhance security by leveraging MDM and traceability technologies together.
How Businesses Can Enhance Traceability Technologies with MDM
IT and operations teams are constantly tasked with ensuring consistent device and data security, seamless application deployment, and a secure user experience across a diverse range of devices.
A comprehensive, multi-OS MDM solution, like SureMDM, is a game-changer for supply chain and logistics businesses, by providing a centralized platform for managing all devices, regardless of location or operating system.
Seamless Device Deployment
Improved Security
Empowering Remote Workforces
Minimizing Instances of Device Loss and Misplacement
Optimizing Resource Allocation
How MDM and Traceability Technologies are Transforming Industries Together
Let’s imagine a scenario where an employee's laptop containing sensitive data is reported missing. Such an incident can raise several concerns, which include safeguarding sensitive information on the laptop from unauthorized access, as well as additional costs incurred in replacing the laptop.
With MDM solutions, IT administrators can lock or wipe their devices remotely, mitigating data breaches. Simultaneously, traceability technologies can help locate the missing device quickly before it lands in the wrong hands. This seamless interplay of technologies ensures both security and device control.
Let’s take a closer look at the use cases for MDM with traceability technologies:
Supply Chain & Logistics
Textile Industry
Dark Warehouses
High Value Goods
Healthcare (Pharma)
