Abstract

Large-scale retail IoT deployments comprising fleets of Android-powered handheld devices, kiosks, and point-of-sale terminals require enterprise device management architectures that enforce security policies, automate software lifecycle management, and maintain operational continuity across geographically distributed store environments. This paper presents an enterprise Android device management framework for retail IoT deployments, examining Mobile Device Management protocol integration, automated application deployment pipelines, remote security policy enforcement including certificate management and encryption compliance, and zero-touch provisioning workflows for new device onboarding.
