Workers in hazardous environments such as manufacturing or chemical plants often wear gloves to protect themselves from a variety of hazards. However, these gloves can interfere with their ability to interact with touchscreen devices that are critical to modern workflow management. Enter Glove Mode – a game-changing feature on the Smart-Ex 03 intrinsically safe smartphone.

Glove Mode is a special feature on Pepperl+Fuchs’ latest smartphones that enhances touchscreen sensitivity and allows users to operate the device without removing their gloves. This feature addresses the common frustration of having to constantly remove gloves to use a device, increasing efficiency and ensuring safety.

In our latest video, we show you how to enable and use the Glove Mode feature, including the pre-configuration in eMDM. The Glove Mode feature is just one part of the exclusive Custom Features available on the Smart-Ex 03. The Custom Features menu provides a wide range of features to enhance the user experience.

The user can individually enable Glove Mode on their Smart-Ex 03. In addition, Glove Mode can be enabled by pre-configuring the device or over-the-air updates by the IT department.

Administrators can manage all Smart-Ex 03 devices in the enterprise using a mobile device management tool, such as eMDM, a mobile device management tool from Pepperl+Fuchs. With eMDM, administrators can configure multiple devices organized by group, tag, or device profile and enroll the configurations in real time. As a result, devices can be prepared as ready-to-use for many different use cases and applications, such as lone workers, push to talk, or even left-handed users. The device settings that can be configured in eMDM are not limited to custom features – extensive settings can also be made at the operating system level, such as network configuration, password policy, kiosk mode, Wi-Fi, and more.
