In today’s fast-paced business environments, the demand for seamless device management, enhanced security, and operational efficiency is higher than ever. For companies leveraging shared iPads for business, especially in healthcare, logistics, education, and retail, Jamf is a critical platform for Apple device management. But to truly unlock the full potential of shared iPads in enterprise environments, hardware matters just as much as software. 

That’s where VAULT comes in—with its innovative GoWork Pro i5 Charging Station, purpose-built for managing shared iPads in a centralized, secure, and automated way, while working in perfect harmony with Jamf. 

Why the GoWork Pro i5 Charging Station Stands Out 

Designed specifically for enterprise deployments, the GoWork Pro i5 Charging Station is far more than just a place to charge your devices. It’s an intelligent hub that transforms how teams deploy and maintain shared iPads across the organization. When paired with Jamf’s mobile device management capabilities, it creates a powerful synergy that simplifies IT workflows and enhances user experiences. 

Let’s break down how the GoWork Pro i5 works in conjunction with Jamf to create an efficient and secure shared iPad ecosystem. 

1. Identify When an iOS Device is Docked and Read Its UDID or Serial Number 

Knowing which device is docked—and being able to associate it with its unique UDID or serial number—is critical for device tracking, user assignment, and automated workflows. The GoWork Pro i5 Charging Station automatically detects when a device is inserted into a dock and instantly reads its identifiers. 

How it works with Jamf: 

  • Jamf can use this identification data to push device-specific configurations, user profiles, or compliance checks. 
  • Automate device provisioning or re-enrollment tasks when a device is docked. 
  • Improve asset management by integrating real-time hardware tracking into your IT systems. 

This feature eliminates manual device check-ins and lets IT admins focus on higher-level tasks while ensuring that each iPad is recognized and treated according to enterprise policies. 

2. Recognize When an iOS Device is Removed from the Dock 

Understanding not just when a device is docked, but also when it’s removed, adds a layer of accountability and workflow automation. 

Jamf integration benefits: 

  • Trigger logout workflows or user reassignment based on device removal. 
  • Monitor device usage patterns and detect unusual activity or missing hardware. 
  • Keep user sessions secure by ensuring profiles are wiped or reset when the iPad is undocked. 

This capability ensures a controlled and trackable device flow within shared environments—critical for industries like healthcare or retail where device handoffs are frequent. 

3. Read Identification Cards (HID, RFID, NFC, Proximity) to Trigger Workflows Based on User Profiles 

One of the most powerful features of the GoWork Pro i5 Charging Station is its integrated card reader, which supports multiple standards including HID, RFID, NFC, and Proximity cards. This feature allows users to tap their ID card to instantly access their personalized session on any shared iPad. 

Paired with Jamf’s shared iPad mode: 

  • Users can securely authenticate with a tap and instantly access their pre-configured workspace. 
  • IT can assign dynamic configuration profiles based on who is logging in, enabling true zero-touch experiences. 
  • Ideal for shift-based workplaces where multiple users share devices across the day. 

This ID-triggered workflow dramatically reduces login times, improves security, and personalizes user experiences—without sacrificing control or oversight. 

Additional Benefits of the GoWork Pro i5 Ecosystem 

Beyond smart device recognition and authentication, the GoWork Pro i5 system brings a host of additional advantages: 

🔐 Enhanced Security 

  • Physical protection for iPads in public or semi-public areas. 
  • User authentication tied directly to access control. 

⚙️ Automated Workflows 

  • Smart integration with Jamf enables seamless provisioning, profile switching, and compliance enforcement. 

📊 Real-Time Insights 

  • IT administrators gain instant visibility into device status, location, and usage metrics. 

🔋 Extended Battery Life & Rugged Protection 

  • When used with GoWork Pro cases, devices benefit from rugged enclosures and built-in back-up batteries, extending uptime for long shifts or fieldwork. 
  • Reduces downtime and protects devices from drops, bumps, and harsh environments.
