escos Automation GmbH is a system integrator for geriatric care providers. The company offers technology to senior home operators that promote safety, comfort, and social interaction. Seniors experience these benefits through a combination of a tablet, home sensors, and remote computing technology - together known as escos Copilot.
With the help of SureMDM, escos Copilot’s tablets provide a way for seniors with any level of technological literacy to live better lives. Seniors in group homes can use escos Copilot tablets to post event notifications on group signage, coordinate food delivery, and more; as 42Gears’ SureLock presents only a small number of relevant applications, the experience empowers seniors without overwhelming them.
The tablets that escos Copilot uses need to work well at all times. After all, these tablets are essential caregiving tools, letting seniors experience higher quality-of-life. However, if these tablets developed any issues, seniors may not be equipped to fix them. The tablets also needed a way to present only a few applications and to update software without disrupting seniors’ tablet use.
As their tablets are essential caregiving tools, escos automation needed an endpoint management solution to manage their tablets, turn them into dedicated-purpose devices, and remotely update the software
Challenges
Major challenges faced by escos included:
Remotely troubleshooting devices
Remotely managing applications to keep them up-to-date
Converting the tablets into dedicated-purpose devices, streamlining use by seniors
