  • Open app.evocon.com in Chrome
  • Log in with your Evocon account

If you wish to limit the usability of the Android device (e.g. on the shop floor), use the "Screen pinning" function (more information here).

    • Enable "Screen pinning" (from toggle).
  • Tap the Overview button (that bottom-right square one) to see all of the apps and choose the screen you want to pin (Evocon app).
  • Tap on the pin icon, the app goes full screen. You will need to set a PIN code (also necessary for un-pinning the screen).
