Press release

Mobile ACD devices have been available since 2019 with the Android™ Industrial+ operating system. The advantages are plain to see: Modern user guidance familiar to users of Android™ smartphones, together with the quality and reliability of the German manufacturer!

But what really sets Android™ Industrial+ apart? Android™ Industrial+ is a highly reliable operating system optimized by ACD Elektronik GmbH for M2Smart^®, M260TE and M266SE mobile terminals and for MFT1x series vehicle terminals. The operating system originates from the manufacturer in Germany. ACD guarantees data security for the customer and no data is transmitted to third parties. Android™ Industrial+ is a reliable Android™ with many years of availability.
The Advantages of Android™ Industrial+ in Detail

Unlike all competitors, who often use products from Asian manufacturers, the ACD Android™ Industrial+ version can be selectively adapted to customer needs at any time, since all sources are in Germany with the developer and manufacturer. The German developer and manufacturer likewise ensure longterm supply capability and thus a high level of investment reliability.

Android™ Industrial+ is a very reliable operating system. Data security is ensured by independence from Google services. There is no data migration. By the way, ACD offers an Extended Security and Update Service covering the entire product lifecycle (at least five years after discontinuation) for security patches and bugs. Also ensured are fast integration and distribution of security patches plus guaranteed security and support for Android^TM versions that are no longer supported. Upgrades to higher Android™ versions are also available.

The corresponding hardware is no less impressive: ACD uses industrial grade hardware with longterm availability of up to ten years. Thanks to the use of Android™ Industrial+ and sources available in-house, even hardware components that require far-reaching adaptations in the operating system itself can be integrated.

Android™ Industrial+ stands for fast and easy configuration of Android^TM devices. Easy app programming means customers can also use the terminal in different processes.

Comprehensive service and support round out the package: the technical contacts from service and support for ACD are all located in Germany and can therefore offer short response times for customer-specific adaptations or questions. The advantage of communicating directly with the German manufacturer (and if necessary directly with the development team as well) is unique on the market and greatly reduces complications.

To round out the Android™ Industrial+ software package, ACD offers its own supported Android™ apps to further enhance usability. The most important of these is ACD KioskMode. ACD KioskMode is an alternative to the standard "Android™ Homescreen." ACD KioskMode gives users access only to certain apps selected in advance by the device adminis
