VisibilityIQ Battery Swap Activity

Battery Swap Activity
Effectively manage device roll-outs

Keep workers focused on their tasks rather than swapping batteries in their Zebra Android devices by tracking how frequently devices have batteries changed across an entire enterprise, each site, or even at the device level. Swap Activity irregularities highlight problems with battery health, charger functionality, or business process efficiencies.

Requirements

   

  • Mobile device model and Android version are supported for the Mobile Computer Device Health APIs
  • Device has been enrolled and authorized for Zebra Savanna
  • Zebra Data Services (ZDS) agent is installed and activated on the device
Getting Started
  • To purchase, contact your Zebra Account Manager
  • Questions? Check the FAQ
  • Visit the Forums

Authentication

Battery Swap Activity in Action
  • Make sure number of battery swaps aligns with business process to identify bad batteries, chargers, or process
  • Flag patterns that indicate batteries are not being charged long enough before put in a new device
  • Catch when chargers are no longer working or when devices are not properly put in chargers
  • Identify batteries with health issues not lasting a full shift

OTA Update Delivery v3.0

OTA Update Delivery v3.0

Overview

The LifeGuard OTA Update Delivery application provides the ability for an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) server to control the enrollment and deployment of the 'last mile' delivery of Operating System (OS) updates to Zebra mobile devices.

To update the device, the EMM first determines what software is on the device by reading the Build ID from the device. This is performed by requesting detailed device information from the client. The BuildID is a critical value that can be used to compare the OS version running on the device to the newest version available.

The current standard for the BuildID allows the EMM to identify:

  • Baseline OS version
  • Patch version
  • Google Mobile Services (GMS) vs. Non Google Mobile Services (NGMS)
  • Android flavor
  • STD - standard vs. non-standard
Requirements
  • Use of the last mile OTA APIs is limited to ONLY authorized EMM clients.
  • The device must be properly enrolled. See the Zebra Device Enrollment Step by Step Guide for more details.
  • Devices must be running Android Nougat or higher.
  • A valid authorization bearer token has been obtained.
  • A valid access token has been obtained.
Authentication

A Zebra application key is required for using and testing this API. See the Getting Started Guide for instructions on obtaining a key.

Information for the End User

The EMM is responsible for instructing the end user how to configure their devices for device enrollment. See the Zebra Device Enrollment Step by Step Guide for more details.
