Table of Contents

This article is part 3 of a 4-part series on Sparro ARC’s full range of capabilities for adaptive connectivity and device management, including network and device health monitoring. Stay tuned for our final article on ARC’s unique features for improved network and device performance.

For businesses that depend on connected devices, maintaining performance and reliability is essential. Tablets, trackers, monitors, and other devices have become crucial for efficient business operations, safety, compliance, and more. Whether it’s ensuring handheld scanners in a warehouse stay operational or keeping tablets functioning for fleet and logistics tracking, device health directly impacts productivity and customer satisfaction.

Part 3 of this series discusses how Sparro Adaptive Route Control (ARC) takes device monitoring to the next level. By providing detailed, actionable insights into device and network health, ARC empowers businesses to anticipate and resolve problems before they cause downtime. More than just data collection, it’s a smarter way to manage the tools that keep your operations running.

What makes Sparro ARC’s monitoring unique?

Sparro ARC delivers a comprehensive view of device health and performance, offering much more than typical solutions. It monitors critical metrics like battery health, connectivity, and network performance. For example, it tracks charging patterns, apps draining power, and temperature and voltage fluctuations to help prevent unexpected device failures. With this level of visibility, businesses can extend the life of their hardware while improving overall efficiency.

Connectivity is another area in which ARC shines. It maps when and where devices lose connections, highlighting issues like VoIP call failures or prolonged downtime due to signal loss. Teams can use these insights to address weak points in their networks and optimize workflows.

ARC’s network health tools go even further, analyzing packet loss, latency, and data usage. ARC can help pinpoint inefficiencies or problem areas in real time so teams can act fast and maintain uninterrupted service.

Information on data usage patterns and health stats over time and per site can also provide insights into potential problems before devices fail, improving uptime.

What are some examples of industry use cases?

ARC’s advanced monitoring capabilities are useful in many sectors where operational efficiency and uptime are non-negotiable.

For example, in logistics, reliable devices keep supply chains moving. ARC helps track battery life and connectivity, ensuring tablets and scanners stay functional throughout long shifts. Such information can also help management plan for device charging and swapping between shifts rather than having devices fail unexpectedly and halt operations.

Device uptime is crucial for fleet tracking, where real-time information is required not only for route and shipment planning but also for regulatory compliance.

Healthcare teams rely on connected devices to manage workflows and patient care. ARC ensures these tools perform reliably, reducing disruptions that could impact critical tasks and patient care.

Retailers benefit from consistent device performance, particularly for handheld POS systems. With ARC, businesses can prevent unexpected failures that could slow down checkout lines and create inventory tracking issues.

Even in hospitality, where guest satisfaction is key, ARC monitors devices such as tablets used by front desk staff and check-in kiosks that support customer-facing services, ensuring smooth operations and an enhanced guest experience.

Why choose ARC over other solutions?

Many existing monitoring solutions stop at basic metrics, leaving businesses with gaps in their understanding of device performance. Sparro ARC closes those gaps. By offering in-depth insights like battery temperature and voltage trends, connectivity loss stats, and network health analysis, ARC gives businesses the tools to act proactively.

ARC’s user-friendly dashboards further set it apart, making it easy to turn complex data into actionable strategies. Unlike other platforms that require technical expertise, ARC empowers every team member to contribute to improved device performance.
