Mobility

Nowadays more and more companies try to optimize their mobile infrastructure. As a result mobile workers will have access - via GSM, GPRS, UMTS & HSDPA - to their companies databases. As a result, companies can change their work flow in order to increase the output of employees and means. Tasks that - because of the necessary 'backoffice' information - used to be done at the office, can now be executed anywere.

In addition to the reading /scanning of barcodes and RFID tags on items, mobile workers can have access to all the actual information they need. For instance: stock amounts, order input or administrating a service task on location. Even digital signatures can be processed, in order to monitor if and when goods are delivered. An integrated camera can be used for damage reports of shipments. When using GPS (Global Positioning System), the exact location of your employees can be monitored. All these advantages result in a higher productivity, time savings, more accurate management information and increased customer satisfaction.

Mobile computers have to match seamlessly with systems already in use. Relevant questions in that context are: Does a barcode scanner have to be integrated in the mobile computer and which information needs to be scanned? Which applications have to be implemented in advance? What are the requirements regarding build-in devices? PHI DATA integrates PDA’s and tablet PC’s in different applications and can select the solution that works best in your situation.
