When it comes to lone worker safety, solution effectiveness depends as much on technology as on ease of implementation. It’s like having the world’s best safety equipment: if it’s complicated to wear or configure, it won’t be used correctly in the end.
For companies that need to protect dozens or hundreds of workers, VerticalMan® has evolved its deployment system to make the process not just simple, but practically automated.
The mass deployment challenge
Imagine having to manually configure every single smartphone for every operator in your company: entering unique identifiers, activating licenses, setting alarm parameters. It would be like having to personally tune every instrument in an orchestra before each concert.
Two pillars for simplicity
1. MDM distribution: control in your hands
VerticalMan integrates seamlessly with any corporate Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. This means you can distribute the application using the same tools you already know and use for other corporate software.
For companies that don’t have an MDM or prefer a dedicated solution for safety devices, Aldea recommends Springdel for its versatility and ability to manage devices without Google Play Services – a fundamental feature for many rugged industrial devices.
A crucial aspect: if your MDM relies on the Google Play Store, we provide an APK with a specific application ID for your company. This makes you completely autonomous even for future updates.
2. Automatic configuration: one file, infinite possibilities
The second pillar is even more elegant in its simplicity. Through a single configuration file loaded on the device, VerticalMan® and eCoRo App can:
- Automatically assign the device’s unique identifier
- Activate the license by contacting Aldea servers
- Acquire specific configuration from eCoRo Cloud
The power of eCoRo Cloud: tailored configurations
eCoRo Cloud offers flexibility comparable to a digital tailor:
- Global configuration: same settings for all devices
- Per-device configuration: specific parameters for individual operators
- Group configuration: dedicated settings for departments or work types
It’s like having a wardrobe that automatically adapts to every occasion and person.
The final result
With these features, VerticalMan® deployment becomes an industrializable process: prepare configurations once, distribute through your MDM, and devices configure themselves autonomously at first startup.
The time saved is not just a matter of operational efficiency: it means being able to focus resources on operator training and monitoring safety system effectiveness, rather than on its technical implementation.
Lone worker safety should never be compromised by deployment complexity. With VerticalMan, it isn’t.
