VisibilityIQ™ APIs
Get Detailed Status Information on Your Mobile Device Fleet

Device Health overview

 

To improve operations, facility managers need to understand complex information about their mobile devices, but this information is often hidden in separate places. Zebra VisibilityIQ™ APIs empower users with three key business sets of information:

  • Knowing what assets you have
  • Knowing where your assets are
  • Knowing your assets’ health

Zebra VisibilityIQ APIs expose volumes of detailed information related to device health, availability, utilization, and support. Powered by Zebra Savanna software, we conduct detailed analytics on this data to direct the customer’s best next action, ensuring your workers are available to focus on their most impactful tasks.  


Zebra consolidates your support/repair data and collects more than 250 machine-level data points across software, battery, and devices and distills this down into actionable insights.


We are announcing the discontinuation of APIs listed below:

  • Aggregated Data - Application Not Responding
  • Aggregated Data - Application Usage
  • Aggregated Data - Battery Events
  • Aggregated Data - Battery Status
  • Aggregated Data - Device Baseline Analytics
  • Aggregated Data - Device Information
  • Aggregated Data - Device Reboot
  • Aggregated Data - Device Utilization
  • Aggregated Data - Installed Applications

These APIs will no longer be supported after Dec 4, 2023.
