Challenges

Navigating the complexities of Android deployment on the manufacturing floor.

Deploying Android devices in a manufacturing setup brought its own unique challenges for Magna. The realization came swiftly—devices meant for production were accessible to anyone on the floor, posing a significant risk to the organization’s sensitive data. The challenges didn’t stop there. Each department within the production process had its own unique workflows, requiring specific applications and content to manage recurring tasks. However, with a common device deployed across the workforce, there was no way to restrict app usage to authorized personnel, leading to inefficiencies and potential misuse.

The pressing need was clear: a solution that could restrict devices, push only work-related applications, and block any app that hindered productivity. For Magna, finding a way to secure and streamline device usage wasn’t just a technical necessity—it was critical to ensuring operational integrity and efficiency.

Solution

The right apps, right when they are needed on devices.

When it came to streamlining their Android deployment, Magna turned to Scalefusion for a solution that could align with their unique operational needs. With Scalefusion’s intuitive dashboard, IT admins could ensure that only business-critical apps were accessible. Creating device groups tailored to specific departments and pushing necessary applications to those devices effectively minimized data leakage and prevented misuse. This targeted approach ensured each device supported its intended purpose, keeping operations focused and productivity on track.

Focused device access for employees.

Magna leveraged Scalefusion’s Kiosk Mode to transform their Android devices into purpose-built tools for production. By locking devices to specific business-critical apps, Kiosk Mode ensured that distractions were eliminated and misuse was prevented. This streamlined approach kept devices aligned with operational goals, empowering workers to stay focused and efficient while safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access.

Result

Secured, streamlined, and fully managed devices.

By adopting Scalefusion, Magna transformed their device management approach, bringing both security and efficiency to the forefront of their operations. Scalefusion provided Magna with a secure, efficient way to manage devices, ensuring employees remained focused on their tasks while safeguarding company data. By aligning the devices with the needs of different departments, Magna was able to improve workflow efficiency and minimize risks associated with unauthorized device usage.
