Mobile Computing Introduction

With our streamlined approach we can deploy mobile computing technology as part of our software products or integrate it with your current information systems. This gives a cost-effective approach to new technology as your business expands.

Mobile computing allows data to be captured and exchanged in two distinct methods:

• In a real-time manner where the device interacts with your enterprise systems over a wireless network
• In a disconnected manner where data is synchronized remotely to and from your internal system

An application can use either or a combination of these methods - according to your specific business requirements.

Typical mobile applications that we have implemented include:

• Warehouse management – including goods receipt, goods manifest, POD and stock management.
• On site inspections – production of reports (for example ROTE) on client equipment and publishing of the data to WWW.
• Workshop Support – management of workshop processes, QA, traceability and real time updates to sales staff on work in progress.

Types of devices vary considerably dependant on use - and examples include rugged handheld computers are suitable for workshop and industrial applications where they need to stand up to harsh conditions and Enterprise Digital Assistants (EDA’S) which are robust handheld devices suitable for inventory, warehouse management, bar-coding and other data capture solutions.

With the Motion mobile computing offering our mobile computers (we have working partnerships with Psion, Intermec and Symbol), together with our bar code scanners, RFID solutions, wireless infrastructure provide the foundation you need to become an organization on the move.
