The use of mobile devices has increased dramatically in recent years and will continue to do so with the rapid growth of EMM (enterprise mobility management). Managing these devices is crucial to safeguarding data and the devices that handle critical business information and functions. UEM is the best solution for managing and securing dedicated devices.<\/p>

What are Dedicated Devices?<\/h2>

Dedicated devices are company-owned devices that can be employee-facing or customer-facing. They include self-check-in systems, point-of-sale (POS) systems<\/a>, digital signage, retail store billing, checkout systems, and airport ticket printing desks, to name a few. The devices fulfill a single-use case by running in kiosk mode which can be single-app or multi-app. Dedicated devices perform essential business functions and hence need to run without any interruptions.<\/p>

Some common examples of customer-facing dedicated devices are ATMs for cash transactions, digital signage in hotels for advertisements, baggage check-in at airports, POS terminals, handheld devices used as barcode scanners as well as for navigation, and dedicated tablets used for educational purposes.<\/p>

Some employee-facing dedicated devices are for inventory management in logistics, handheld devices used by healthcare professionals, and vehicle-mounted devices used by drivers in transportation.<\/p>

However, these devices can\u2019t run independently and are required to be managed remotely. Usually, the devices are unattended and run in dedicated kiosk mode. Communicating with these devices in the field and ensuring timely updates on these devices can be best done using a dedicated device management solution like a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution<\/a>.<\/p>

Corporate-owned dedicated devices don\u2019t store content and information, and it\u2019s crucial to push updated content regularly to these devices as they perform mission-critical functions. UEM enables you to update, troubleshoot, interact, and pass commands to devices remotely. UEM also simplifies configuring devices and provisioning them, enforcing policies, and ensuring device and data security.<\/p>

How Does Dedicated Device Management Work?<\/h2>

A dedicated computer or dedicated hardware is often locked to a single application or a set of applications to serve a specific purpose, ensuring efficiency and security. This is achieved using either single-app kiosk mode or multi-app kiosk mode, based on the use case:<\/p>
