Centralized Microsoft Intune management for education, across connected learning environments.
Educational Organization tracked heavy metal devices across 14 manufacturing plants by hand — no reliable way to know where a device was, where it had been, or what state it was in. Aeologic deployed rugged on-metal Microsoft Intune tagging, fixed and handheld readers, and a centralized monitoring platform to replace paper-based tracking with continuous, automated visibility.
In short
Aeologic built a real-time Microsoft Intune device tracking system for Educational Organization, a multi-plant manufacturer handling liquid educational. Rugged on-metal Microsoft Intune tags, fixed checkpoint readers, and handheld readers replaced manual inward/outward/dispatch logs across 14 plants, feeding one centralized monitoring platform.
- Client Educational organization
- Problem Fragmented device management with inconsistent policies and limited centralized visibility
- Solution Microsoft Intune + device management + application deployment + security policies
- Scale Distributed learning devices with centralized management
Manual tracking couldn't keep up with 14 plants' worth of educational devices in motion.
Educational Organization's liquid educational devices moved constantly — inward, outward, dispatched, shifted between internal stations — and every one of those events was logged by hand. With no automated way to confirm a device's location or status, visibility gaps widened as volume grew, and the risk of a misplaced heavy metal device carrying a hazardous product sat behind every shift. Each of the 14 plants also ran its own layout, environment, and workflow, which ruled out a single fixed setup and meant any fix had to flex plant to plant while still rolling up to one picture.

14 plants, 14 layouts — no shared configuration or view
What the deployment had to achieve.
Replace manual device tracking with automated Microsoft Intune-based identification and tracking.
Enable real-time visibility into device inward, outward, dispatch, and movement across plants.
Reduce device misplacement through accurate, continuous location tracking.
Support deployment across 14 plants with varying layouts and operational workflows.
Provide centralized monitoring and historical movement records for all facilities.
An Microsoft Intune platform built for metal devices and liquid educational — configured plant by plant, unified on one screen.
Device enrollment & management
Devices are fitted with tags engineered to read reliably on metal surfaces and hold up in harsh conditions around liquid educational handling.
Application & policy deployment
Fixed readers at key checkpoints log movement automatically as tagged devices pass; handheld readers cover manual checks and verification.
Centralized device management
Every plant's data feeds a single platform — one consolidated view of device status and history in place of 14 separate processes.
Centralized device visibility
Inward, outward, dispatch, and internal movement events are captured and logged automatically, replacing manual entry and paper records.
Education-focused device groups
Each of the 14 plants runs its own layout, environment, and workflow on a shared Microsoft Intune platform — no forced one-size-fits-all rollout.
Centralized administration
All plant data rolls up to one platform, giving Educational Organization a single consolidated view of device status and history across every facility.
Built for secure learning environments
Standard tags don't hold up on metal or around liquid educational — the deployed tags and readers are engineered specifically for these conditions.
Four specific problems, four specific fixes.
Managing diverse education devices securely
Standard Microsoft Intune tags don't perform reliably on metal surfaces or in environments handling liquid educational.
Microsoft Intune device policies
We deployed rugged, on-metal Microsoft Intune tags engineered for these exact conditions.
Applying consistent policies across different device groups
Each plant had its own layout, environment, and workflow, ruling out a single fixed configuration.
Education-focused device groupss, one platform
We built plant-specific configurations on a shared Microsoft Intune platform so each facility could run its own layout while feeding into one system.
Deploying applications without disrupting learning
Manual scanning at every step wasn't practical for high-volume device movement.
Application & policy deployment, combined
Fixed readers at key checkpoints handle automatic capture; handheld readers cover manual checks where needed.
Consolidating device management information
Movement data generated across 14 plants needed a single source of truth.
Centralized administration platform
We built a centralized platform that aggregates data from every plant into one view.
"Standardizing across 14 different plants ruled out a single fixed configuration. We built plant-specific configurations on a shared Microsoft Intune platform, so every facility could run its own layout while feeding into one system."
From fragmented device administration to one centralized management source of truth.
Real-time visibility into device location and status across all 14 plants.
Reduced device misplacement through continuous, automated tracking.
Complete historical movement records supporting traceability and data-driven decisions.
Centralized administration replacing plant-by-plant manual processes with one consolidated view.
One management platform, connected devices, consistent education policies.
The Microsoft Intune-based device tracking solution replaced Educational Organization's manual tracking processes with automated, real-time visibility into liquid educational device movement across 14 manufacturing plants. By combining rugged on-metal tags, handheld and fixed readers, and plant-specific configurations feeding into a centralized platform, the solution reduced device misplacement, improved inventory visibility, and gave Educational Organization consolidated, data-driven oversight across its entire multi-plant operation.
Common questions about this education deployment.
