Introduction

Shelby American: A globally recognized name in high-performance automotive engineering.

Shelby American is a renowned automotive manufacturer, known for producing high-performance vehicles and performance components. Founded in 1962 by legendary race car driver and automotive designer Carroll Shelby, the company has built its reputation on precision engineering, performance, and craftsmanship. As Shelby’s manufacturing operations became increasingly dependent on mobile devices, production teams relied on tablets to access applications, follow workflows, and support day-to-day manufacturing activities. With more devices being used across the production floor, Shelby needed a consistent way to manage and secure them,

Scalefusion UEM provided Shelby with a unified platform to standardize device configurations, restrict devices to production applications, and manage devices remotely across its manufacturing environment.

Challenges

Keeping production devices manage, secure, and ready for work.

As Shelby’s production floor expanded, so did its reliance on devices across the floor.

Frontline teams used devices to access production applications, track workflows, and support day-to-day manufacturing tasks. However, managing these devices at scale across user groups became a growing challenge.

Without a unified solution, it was difficult for their IT teams to maintain consistent configurations, monitor device usage, and ensure devices were being used strictly for operational purposes. Shelby needed a way to standardize device behavior while keeping the user experience aligned with operational needs.

Solution

Seamless device management and production floor operations with Scalefusion UEM.

Through Scalefusion’s Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platform, Shelby streamlined device deployment and ensured production floor devices were configured specifically for operational workflows. The platform enabled device monitoring and remote configuration, allowing Shelby’s IT team to manage devices across production units efficiently. Scalefusion’s unified dashboard provided better visibility into device performance and usage, helping Shelby maintain consistent workflows and improve operational reliability across the production floor.

Turn every tablet into a purpose-built production floor device.

Shelby used Kiosk Mode to restrict production devices to approved applications and workflows. By limiting access to only the applications required for work, the company ensured that tablets remained focused on production activities and reduced the risk of unauthorized or distracting usage.

From enrollment to production, ready from day one.

Bulk device enrollment enabled Shelby to provision tablets and prepare them for production use without relying on lengthy manual setup processes. Devices could be enrolled centrally and configured with the required policies and applications before being assigned to production teams.

This helped IT teams standardize deployments and get devices ready for frontline use with less manual intervention.

Equip every device with the right set of apps.

Through Application management, Shelby ensured that production devices had access to the applications required for their specific workflows. IT teams could deploy approved applications centrally and maintain consistent application configurations across the device fleet. This reduced the need for manual application setup and helped keep production teams equipped with the software they needed to perform their daily tasks.

One device. Multiple shifts. Zero reconfigurations.

Production devices can be shared across shifts and teams, making it important to maintain a consistent device experience regardless of who uses the tablet. With Shared Device Mode, Shelby could support shared-device workflows while keeping devices configured according to production requirements.

This helped the company make better use of shared devices without compromising standardized configurations.

Fix device issues without stepping on the floor.

When a production device required attention, Shelby’s IT team could remotely troubleshoot and resolve device issues without needing to physically handle every tablet. Remote troubleshooting helped IT teams diagnose issues faster and reduce the disruption caused by device-related problems. This allowed production teams to stay focused on their work while IT handled device support remotely.

Expanding beyond Android.

As Shelby plans to expand its device fleet beyond Android to Windows and Mac, it's counting on the same reliability, easy onboarding, and support it has come to rely on from Scalefusion across its production floor.

Result

A more consistent and efficient device environment for production teams.

With Scalefusion, Shelby created a consistent and reliable device environment for its manufacturing operations and production floor. Purpose-built tablets kept employees focused on production tasks, while a simpler device experience made the technology easier to use across different age groups.

Consistent configurations also simplified software testing, reduced IT support overhead, and gave Shelby greater confidence that its manufacturing application would perform as expected across production devices.

With a reliable device management foundation in place, Shelby is now positioned to extend the same approach to Windows and macOS as its device environment evolves, without adding unnecessary operational complexity.
