What’s the latest iMin firmware update and how does it benefit me?

When installed, the latest iMin firmware update helps improve your picking operations and ensure your device is working optimally by:

  • Updating your Picking App automatically in the background without Picker’s intervention, when the app is not running

  • Reminding pickers to update the Picking App via push notifications every 4 hours, when the app is running

  • Locking in the device volume to prevent pickers from turning off the sound and reduce order rejections due inaudible notifications for new orders

  • Supporting wifi passwords with more than 16 characters via the Startup Wizard

  • Allowing you to activate new devices via SIM cards

  • Installing the Picking App by default in new iMin devices
