ICYMI: Device Administrator Deprecation with Google & SOTI, Inc.
When the needs of enterprises have evolved, devices are increasingly accessing more and being used in a wider variety than what Android’s original device admin API was designed for. If you are currently using device admin to manage your devices, you need to be prepared for the migration.
Device admin isn’t suitable for today’s enterprise requirements, we recommended customers to adopt managed device and work profile modes to manage their devices. To support this transition, we have provided a presentation below as a migration guide. One of the two types of migration we recommend company- owned devices to be set up as managed devices, where these devices can be managed on an Android enterprise profile.

Barcode Vs. RFID: Things to Consider Before You Choose
Barcode and RFID labels are choices that enterprises must choose to improve efficiency. Which are the most cost- effective and reliable in the long run for your operation?
Here are a few things you should consider
Barcodes Vs. RFID
RFID labels have electronically generated unique codes and barcodes use standard protocols. In an inventory collection setting, a barcode label can tally up items in the stock according to product type, manufacturer, and stock level. Employees will have to manually check for item specifics such as color, price, and purchase date of individual items. On the other hand, RFID labels are capable of loading up 2,000 proprietary byte of information and be able to tally up individual items in inventory too.
For example: A barcode label would be able to tell a grocer how many gallons Milk A and Milk B was in the cooler but an RFID label will be able to disclose where each gallon of milk came from the farm and distributor.
Ultimately, if printer properly both barcode and RFID tags can eliminate human error and contribute to enterprise efficiency compare to when items are accounted for by hand. Purchasing either barcode or RFID solutions depends on the depth of data required by an enterprise and how the system will be used in the field. Label consumers have to make a decision based on the needs and financial constraints.
If you need guidance on which solution to choose, feel free to contact one of our dedicated account managers and we will be happy to help.
