Ziperase has announced the launch of Device Link, their latest groundbreaking data erasure product. Device Link is a hardware device that automates the complete data removal and refurbishment of MacBooks, simplifying the process and virtually eliminating the need for human operators. Device Link saves labor and processing time, reduces customer returns, and assures the quality and security of reconditioned MacBooks for refurbishers and IT asset disposal processors.

“We are seeing a huge demand from our customer base to refurbish MacBooks for the secondhand market. To properly prepare a MacBook for resale requires high touch labor from an experienced operator and detailed knowledge of the Apple process. Device Link solves this challenge for our customers by providing a turnkey solution that automates the process,” says Khalid Elibiary, president of Ziperase.

Device Link erases the MacBook and reinstalls MacOS according to Apple’s recommended practice, collects system data and hardware diagnostics such as battery life, checks for activation locks, and produces a report and printed label. In just a few simple steps the MacBook is refreshed, restored, and ready for a new owner. Device Link works on MacBook, Mac Pro, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, and devices with both the Intel and new Apple Silicon processors.

“Our patent pending solution uses AI to encapsulate knowledge of all the steps needed to sanitize and restore MacBooks,” explains Colin Myers, Chief Technology Officer of Ziperase. “Using feedback from the MacBook, Device Link decides on the next course of action. ”
