We're adding amazing UI improvements to further enhance your experience and shorten the time needed for you to connect devices, as well as navigate and work across your process in ProGlove Insight. Striving to always maintain the highest levels of security, we also updated user login requirements. Finally - a new member, LEO, joined our family and is now fully supported by the Insight Webportal.
Here is the summary of what we're releasing for you this August:
We welcome LEO to the family with its own firmware version 1.0.0. Manage your LEO scanners via Insight Webportal and stay up-to-date using our LEO documentation pages as we develop it and release new features.

Elements in the Devices dashboard are now links and filters for your scanner list. Hover over the pie-chart to see details and click on any element to apply a quick filter to the list of scanners below.
Lists stay in the order you define. We know that applying the filters and adjusting the columns every time is a nuisance, so we simplified it by making the list in the Devices section stay in the same order, even if you go to a different screen, or log out.
Improved security with stronger password requirements. All new passwords must comply with higher requirements from now on, and we've reworked our password strength indicator to help you with the update process and maintain your account safe.
Links in the location path for quicker navigation. The location path shown in the "Last seen at" column for scanners and Connectivity devices now consists of clickable links that take you directly to the location you select - i.e. level or process group.
As always, you can find the latest ProGlove firmware on the Downloads page of ProGlove Insight. Within Documentation pages, visit the section relevant to your device and check out the What's new section for the latest release notes.

Along with new firmware versions for our connectivity devices, we always work towards bringing additional updates to our ProGlove Insight Webportal and your user experience!
Here's what's included in the latest release:
Device Monitoring - Quickly identify if your scanners are charging or not, or if they haven't been returned to the charging station. Setting up your Gateway as a Beacon Signal Receiver tracks signals from scanners on the charging station. This will help you mitigate impacts to operational efficiency, and also improve the workers' habits to return devices after their shift and minimize the chance of the scanners being misplaced. For more details, see Lost & Found.
Remote update scheduling - Define a scheduling window for your Gateway devices to update automatically so that the process does not interfere with any production or workflows. Read more about how to set it up here.
Single Sign-On - Less passwords and easy access to our Insight Weportal using your existing Identity Provider credentials. The feature currently only works for Azure AD, please contact us if you'd like to activate it with another service. Learn more on how it works and how you can activate it here.
Job Analysis no longer available - Job Analysis was removed and is no longer available in the Process Analytics menu of the Insight Webportal.
Additionally, we made regular updates to the UI speed and performance, as well as dealt with minor bug fixes.
