Mobile devices have become the heart of the modern workplace. Whether it is remote employees using smartphones, field teams working on tablets, or hybrid workers using laptops, the number and variety of devices has grown fast.
But managing them all manually is no longer easy. Every device needs to be set up, secured, monitored, supported, and later replaced. At the same time, businesses must protect data, control costs, and maintain employee productivity.
This is where AI-powered Mobile Device Lifecycle Management (MDLM) makes a big difference. It helps companies make better decisions, solve problems before they happen, and manage their mobile fleet more effectively.
This blog explores how AI is transforming enterprise mobile device management and how Anunta enables smarter, safer, and more productive workplaces with advanced device lifecycle automation.
Mobile Device Lifecycle Management is the process of tracking and managing work devices from the time they are purchased until they are securely retired or recycled.
It ensures that devices:
Table 1: Stages of the Mobile Device Lifecycle
| S.No | Stage | What Happens? |
| 1 | Procurement | Devices are selected based on job roles and business needs |
| 2 | Onboarding | Devices are set up with the required apps, permissions, and access controls |
| 3 | Usage and Monitoring | Devices are actively used and tracked for performance, location, and security |
| 4 | Support and Maintenance | Issues are handled, updates are installed, and devices are repaired promptly |
| 5 | Retirement | Devices are wiped clean and then recycled, resold, or reused responsibly |
Today’s workforce expects flexibility, speed, and secure access to work tools from anywhere. With BYOD policies, remote work, and growing compliance requirements, IT teams are under pressure like never before.
Traditional methods of managing devices are slow, manual, and often outdated. In comparison, AI-powered device monitoring offers smarter ways to stay ahead.
A company with 1,000 salespeople using tablets previously required IT staff to manually set up each device, troubleshoot issues, and maintain smooth operation.
With mobile device retirement automation and AI, devices are set up in minutes, stay secure with 24/7 monitoring, and get fixed before issues even start.
AI does more than automate tasks. It adds intelligence to every phase of Mobile Device Lifecycle Management, making the process faster, safer, and more cost-effective.
AI helps select the correct device based on the user’s role and work habits. It automatically sets up devices with the necessary apps, permissions, and settings.
Example: A field engineer gets a weatherproof GPS-enabled phone. A designer receives a graphics-optimized tablet. Everything arrives pre-configured, ready to use out of the box.
What does this mean for your team?
This results in smoother mobile fleet management with minimal manual effort.
Once devices are in use, AI continuously monitors their health and performance.
AI enables:
Example: AI can tell if a device keeps heating up and can arrange a repair before it stops working
AI simplifies support through smart automation and user-friendly tools.
AI enables:
Example: An employee is locked out of their device. Instead of calling IT, they chat with a virtual assistant and regain access in seconds.
When a device reaches the end of its life, AI ensures the process is secure, compliant, and environmentally responsible.
AI enables:
Example: A company can track which devices are ready to be retired and securely erase all data before donating them to a local school.
AI transforms enterprise mobile device management from a task-heavy process into a strategic advantage.
Table 2: Benefits of AI-driven MDLM
| Benefit | What it Means? |
| Lower Operational Costs | Automation reduces the need for large IT teams |
| Stronger Security and Compliance | AI keeps data safe and ensures devices meet regulatory requirements |
| Better Employee Experience | Devices work smoothly, and issues are fixed quickly, improving productivity |
| Sustainability | AI promotes responsible recycling and reduces e-waste through smarter decisions |
AI let your people focus on what they do best.
