The solution now includes industry-standard data sanitization processes, ensuring secure repair, redeployment, or recycling of devices. Backup methods are in place to guarantee successful data erasure, and the interface has been enhanced for a smoother processing experience with Apple devices. Real-time connection monitoring for Apple devices allows for improved visibility and operational control, enabling better device management. The native identification of FMiP status for Apple Watches ensures that devices are processed correctly for reuse.

Improvement processing smartwatches
