Securely and easily manage mobile devices in manufacturing and industry
Centrally set up and secure smartphones, tablets, and rugged handhelds on the factory floor, in the warehouse, in service, and in the field – and provide them with the right line-of-business apps – with Mobile Device Management from Germany.
WHAT CORTADO OFFERS
Less rollout effort. More security in operation.
Manufacturing, warehousing, and service have long relied on mobile work – often with very different devices and in environments where IT is not permanently on site. Cortado MDM brings rollout, security, app distribution, and data protection together in one place.
ROLLOUT
Automate device fleet rollouts
Put hundreds of smartphones, tablets, and handhelds into operation without manual setup: devices are automatically configured at first startup and arrive ready to use at the line, dock, or workstation.
- Zero-touch and Apple Business Manager for mass rollouts
- Device groups by site and department
- Retrofits and replacements without an on-site IT visit
SHIFT OPERATIONS
Reliably use devices in shift operations
One device, many users: handhelds, scanners, and tablets run in kiosk or single-app mode and are available to every shift in a clean, identical state.
- Kiosk and single-app mode for shared devices
- Centrally manage rugged handhelds and scanners
- Automatically reset devices after each shift
SECURITY
Enforce security requirements and updates
Set encryption, passcodes, operating system updates, and allowed functions once – Cortado enforces the requirements on all devices and reports deviations.
- Automatically enforce policies on all devices
- Roll out updates in a controlled, scheduled way
- Lock, locate, or wipe lost devices
LINE-OF-BUSINESS APPS
Provide line-of-business apps and data
MES, ERP, and maintenance apps, drawings, inspection plans, and documents are automatically delivered to the right device – including proprietary, non-public apps and even where the network is not always available.
- Distribute and update proprietary apps without a store
- Make documents and plans available offline
- Centrally define app permissions and configurations
DATA PROTECTION
Properly address works council and data protection requirements
Business and personal use remain clearly separated: IT manages the business area, while personal content remains invisible. All settings are documented, making them transparent for the works council and data protection purposes.
- Separate work area for business data
- No access to personal content or locations
- Traceable documentation of policies
