What are Mobile Applications?

Many businesses have technicians working on the job site using Pocket PCs. They collect test readings and other information while in the field.

These collected data can be directly imported into the corporate database using Mobile Applications.

Mobile Applications can be written for either Palm based or Windows CE based handheld computers.

What do I need to buy?

For equipment, just the handheld computer. It comes with all the interface equipment you need to connect to the corporate database.

Then, of course, you need someone to write the Mobile Application and manage the interface with the corporate database.

MOBILE APPLICATIONS - Example 1

Lead inspections are done with a radioactive piece of test equipment called an "XRF Gun". The gun must be loaded with a code before it can be used.

The code is made up of many parts and the inspectors simply can not remember all the possible combinations. The code is the red number at the bottom of the lower portion of the screen.

The ARM Coder by RAMWrite Consulting allows the inspectors to simply tap the PocketPC screen and choose options for each part; i.e., Room Number, Paint Condition, etc.

As each part is defined, the ARM Code is automatically generated at the bottom of the screen. The code is then saved in the XRF Gun.

Back at the office, the information stored in the PocketPC is automatically uploaded to the desktop database when the PocketPC is placed in its cradle.
