An intelligent mobile device management system in one centralized kiosk to help companies manage and charge handheld mobile devices. Modular to support device growth, the heavy-gauge steel lockers keep devices safe and unauthorized users out. A 17 inch touchscreen facilitates employee self-service, and a wide-lens security camera and RFID enforce user compliance. Arc, Asset Recharge Center, was inspired by the need for a locker-based, expandable device management kiosk with intelligent software that can track, secure, and manage devices for employees.
