Running Android on supply chain critical devices

The transport and logistics industry has been driven by digitalization for years. Supply chain efficiency is a high priority for everyone involved. With a growing number of IoT devices in the supply chain, the focus is shifting from mere data measurement and connectivity to driving usability. The best choice to elevate the user experience of your IoT devices is Android OS. With emteria, you can develop user-centered devices based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). In addition to the usability benefits, emteria's solutions allow you to manage IoT devices with an integrated modern Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform, but also with other industry standard solutions like SOTI.
