Knox Asset Intelligence 21.09 release notes

Indoor positioning

IT admins can now track, locate, and retrieve assets in large public and private spaces using Knox Asset Intelligence’s new indoor positioning solution. View the indoor and outdoor locations of your devices directly from your console.

The companion Knox Finder app extends the existing location tracking functionality, helping you set up devices to report their indoor locations as blue dots in the Knox Asset Intelligence console.

Device grouping by venues

To support the new indoor location functionality provided by Knox Finder, a new Device grouping feature is added to allow IT admins to sort and filter their device fleet by venue.

For example, if your organization manages devices across several retail stores, you can assign devices to each store and easily filter them through the Knox Asset Intelligence console.

Knox Capture scanning performance

With the KCS 1.40 release, Knox Asset Intelligence introduces a new data module that allows IT admins to analyze scanning trends on devices enrolled in Knox Capture.

Identify scan issues and enhance frontline productivity with captured insights, such as total scan counts per barcode symbology, hourly scan count distributions, and more.
