Predicting Windows 10 Dell Battery Failures and Automate Replacement

Employees are using Windows devices that no longer last a full work day without charging. It disrupts their workday, reduces mobility, increases dissatisfaction and employees either seek remediation via helpdesk or do nothing and end up plugging their laptops at all times.

How Workspace ONE Intelligence can help:

  • Monitor Windows 10 Dell devices with poor battery health (overall remaining life of the battery) Reports or Dashboards
  • Create visualization that proactively highlight users who are experiencing poor battery life
  • As the battery life decreases, so does its maximum charge capacity
  • Create automation to tag devices with poor battery life in Workspace ONE UEM to help with reporting and assignment, create Service Now ticket with device info to order new battery and notify employees via Slack or email that a battery replacement is on its way

Key benefits: Reduce costs linked to user-generated support tickets or calls, increase employee experience and productivity. Increase lifespan of devices.

For this Lab you will see the log Empty, as we enrolled a Windows VM and not a physical Windows 10 Dell device.

The above image shows you a log example of multiple actions taking on different Services.

For this example that you just created, in a real world you could also setup a Service Now integration, and create a Helpdesk ticket that includes the user and devices information, requesting to ship a new battery to the user home.
