To me it has the same meaning in both sentences: "consider/taken into account the devices that are available and "ensure they are all taken into account/considered".

Para mí, tiene el sentido de "contarlos", tenerlos en cuenta, asegurarse de que se contaron, de que se incluyeron (en el cálculo de cuántos dispositivos hay en los locales). Supongo que estás traduciendo al español, ¿no? en ese caso hubiera sido mejor que pusieras la pregunta EN-ES, en mi opinión.
