Rugged Device Management for Scanner Fleets

Esper for Rugged Devices and Scanners

Configure your entire rugged and scanner fleet from one console

No per-device staging. No custom engineering.

Zebra DataWedge profiles, MX device configurations, and OEMConfig capabilities — managed through an Esper Blueprint: the single configuration profile every device enrolls against. Build the profile once. Esper delivers it to every device.

ONE PROFILE → EVERY ENROLLED DEVICE

What your team gets

One workflow, from provisioning and profile to setup and configuration

For the mobility team managing rugged device fleets across warehouses, retail, logistics, and healthcare.

01 • ONE WORKFLOW

OEM configuration inside your existing Blueprint

Your DataWedge scanner profiles, OEMConfig, and MX device settings live in the same Blueprint you use for provisioning and app deployment. Define them once, attach them to a Blueprint, and every device enrolled against it picks up the correct configuration automatically. No per-device staging. No manual steps after enrollment.

02 • NO PER-DEVICE STAGING

One profile, every device — no staging barcodes

Configuring a Zebra fleet has meant walking each device through StageNow barcode sheets or side-loading hand-built MX XML. With Esper, you build the profile once and the Blueprint delivers it to every enrolled device — no scanning, no side-loading, no custom engineering.

03 • PROVISIONING THAT STICKS

StageNow flows, treated as a first-class path

Zebra shops speak StageNow. Esper supports those provisioning flows natively instead of asking your team to re-architect around them. Devices land in the right profile, fully configured, on day one.

The control layer

The backbone of every configuration

For the Platform Engineer or Mobility Architect who owns implementation and fleet reliability.

BLUEPRINT-NATIVE

Configuration runs at enrollment, not post-script

AIDC configurations, including DataWedge scanner profiles, attach at the Blueprint level. When a device enrolls, configuration executes automatically: no post-enrollment scripts, no engineer on site, no separate job scheduler. Add a device to your fleet and it's configured by the time it boots.

MX + OEMCONFIG

Full OEM capability set, platform-managed

Zebra MX device configurations and OEMConfig capabilities surface directly in Esper's configuration workflow. You get the full range of Zebra-specific settings without leaving the platform or maintaining separate tooling alongside your MDM.

STAGENOW-COMPATIBLE FLOWS

Native Zebra provisioning, not a workaround

StageNow-driven enrollment and bootstrapping is a supported path in Esper — not a footnote. Provisioning failures, ANRs, and crashes during StageNow flows are tracked and surfaced, so you can debug before a device reaches the floor, not after.

FULL AUDIT TRAIL

Every failed configuration execution is logged

Each Blueprint converge records the device, the operation, the timestamp, who initiated it, and the failure class if it didn't complete. Cancel queued operations before they run. When a scanner profile or OEMConfig doesn't apply as expected, you know which device encountered the issue and where the deployment process stalled.

Built for fleets like yours

One platform. Every frontline.

Retail

Centralized scanner config at store scale.

Push DataWedge configuration changes centrally with zero store-level IT involvement across every store you run. Fewer misconfigured scanners, fewer checkout delays.

Logistics

Multi-client fleet isolation.

Maintain separate, isolated device profiles for each warehouse client's scanning environment, all from a single console. Per-client isolation that meets contract-level requirements.

Healthcare

Continuous OEMConfig compliance.

Enforce compliance configurations on Zebra devices via OEMConfig, continuously verify blueprint compliance, and get alerted when a device drifts from the latest published blueprint.
