# Robotics company unifies Mac, Windows, Linux, and Android devices
|
||
|
||
A robotics company managing specialized hardware like industrial-grade tablets in excavators alongside traditional developer desktops required a tool that could handle the complexity of Linux workstations and diverse hardware.
|
||
|
||
## At a glance
|
||
|
||
- **Endpoints:** 117 (Mac, Windows, Linux, Android).
|
||
- **Primary requirement:** multi-platform management and GitOps workflows.
|
||
- **Key integrations:** osquery, Tailscale, and Google Credential Provider.
|
||
- **Previous solution:** limited manual management for Linux.
|
||
|
||
## The challenge
|
||
|
||
Before Fleet, Linux desktops were a significant "blind spot". High configuration complexity and Nvidia driver conflicts made it nearly impossible to scale or manage these devices effectively. The team needed a way to manage WiFi profiles and kiosk configurations across a varied fleet.
|
||
|
||
## The solution
|
||
|
||
Fleet met the requirement for a single point of truth across macOS, Windows, and Linux. The team implemented GitOps workflows and used Fleet’s open-source transparency to build confidence in the reliability of their stack.
|
||
|
||
## The results
|
||
|
||
- **Google Auth on Windows:** The team automated the deployment of the Google Credential Provider for Windows, removing the need for Active Directory dependencies.
|
||
- **Real-time network access:** By integrating host vitals with Tailscale, the team now makes real-time network access decisions based on device health.
|
||
- **Proactive IT:** Cross-platform automation and policy checks have allowed the team to shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive management.
