FAQ Mobile Computing for Commercial Bee Keepers

Do I have to use a specialist rugged handheld computer in order to operate XenBee?
No, you can use any Windows Mobile PDA Smartphone or a Tablet computer using XP Vista or 7. Please contact us for ideas on devices - there are plenty to choose from!


What level of tracking is included?
You can operate at whichever level you choose; Site, Hive, Queen or Super. Just remember that the level and quality of information you are able to report on depends on the level of information you enter. If you record at the Site level only, then you can track at the Site level only. We also offer a Google map tracking interface so you can see users on a large site.


Who can access my data?
Only those whom you have authorised to do so.


How do I identify my hives?
This is achieved by attaching a code and/or barcode to the hive and recording within the application. The barcode is then scanned by the barcode reader attached to the handheld computer, which makes the hive information immediately available to you. If you are not using a handheld computer with barcode scanner, you can locate the hive from a list on the desktop.


What kind of Barcodes should be used?
Whilst optional Barcodes are a great idea for boosting accuracy. Linear 1 Dimensional are easy to print and read with off the shelf equipment. Specifically CODE39, CODE128.

Plant Breeders automate and secure your work...in the field!

Seed breeding is a vital science for the development of new varieties of plant.
We can provide a mechanism to automate the process of planning a breeding programme, analysing the results, and feeding those results back to strengthen future programmes.

XenBreeda has the flexibility to cater for breeders of different crop types: vegetables, agronomic crops, forage, flowers and forestry. It gives seed companies a complete view of the life-cycle of seed products.
By having visibility of the pedigree and parentage of those plants which perform well and become viable commercial products, a seed development company can focus on profitable and successful lines. This will enable them to reduce the number of dead-end breeding programmes, and shorten the time-to-market of those varieties with commercial potential.

Take this capability into the field with you, removing the difficulties and potential hazards of double entering your data:

• Ensure the security of your valuable information
• Provide traceability of product’s progeny and parentage.
• Plan your breeding programmes to coincide with other activities throughout the year

Rugged Tablet Computer Total Cost of Ownership

In order to remain competitive in a truly global economy organisations need to consider ways to arm their workforce with the right information, at the right time, in the right manner. It is important to do this all at the right price so it is critically important to consider what type of technology you will be using.
For markets such as Direct Store Delivery (DSD), Field Service, Transportation and Logistics, Healthcare, and Manufacturing and Distribution the right choice is a mobile computer.

Is your mobile computer rugged? In the past rugged tablets have been overlooked due to their initial price tag. However things are changing and remember rugged tablets provide peace of mind for your mission critical information and are built to withstand the demands of a mobile workforce; waterproof, dust proof, shock and drop certified. Plus, their design cycle is likely to be longer than a device aimed at the consumer market which means better serviceability long term

When considering purchasing hardware for your mobile workers; decision makers most often consider:

• Initial hardware and software acquisition price
• Installation and training
• Integration, communications and sustainability of applications
• Functionality - does it meet your system needs?
• User feedback - does it meet their needs?

Why a NetTop or NetBook might not be a great idea for in field mobile computing

Ok! it's an old story when it comes to mobile computing in the enterprise. You can either go with consumer grade device and potentially end up replacing them often but feel good about the fact that they only cost small amounts of money. Or, go for a more rugged unit and spend more up front for something that will last longer.
Currently NetTops and NetBooks are all the rage, the cell phone companies are even giving them away!
But beware, the cost of constantly replacing units is higher than you think in terms of lost productivity that's even before you have to re-tweek your app or comms to run on the 'latest version'

Things to watch out for:

• System performance, can your NetBook run today’s software – yet alone tomorrow’s!
• Will it run Microsoft’s latest OS – Windows 7, which has made great strides over Vista and seems to be stable
• Current, low cost devices are flimsy at best Can you do this with a NetBook?
• They lack domain connectivity – frequently required for businesses.

Our New 7000 might just be the answer.....

A NEW approach to creating mobile computing applications in the enterprise

The need to create strong user orientated logic has often led organisations wishing to deploy mobile computing applications to come up with something specific (read expensive) for each deployment. Scalability and robustness have often been thought of as only available to those with HUGE IT budgets.

Historically this thinking has led companies to adopt one of these approaches:
Buy an off the shelf solution

• Traditional square peg round hole approach
• Expensive, inflexible will no doubt need customisation
• Technically, can become outdated quickly

Commission a bespoke application development

• Tough to justify in house as skills in mobility not common
• Costly, complex, and time consuming
• Difficult to change repeat maintain and upgrade
  

Use the mobility module that came with the existing back end systems

• Geared to extend ERP SCM, and CRM functions to small screens not designed
  for mobile workers
• Not good at accessing multi-application back end environments
• Often excludes functionality mobile workers need
  

None of these approaches talk much about real world sustainability or ROI, in reality how long do you expect your mobile process to stay the same??
In contrast our application platform is designed to address your need to create sustainable mobile computing applications right across an organisation:

One platform many applications.

• Either we develop applications for you or you can take control of the development deployment and maintenance cycles
• Development time investment and project risk is radically reduced.
• Multiple applications 'that change' can be accommodated at any time.
  Scalable and robust.
• Support for a wide variety of devices using WinMobile 6.1 XP/Vista/7.

GPS Navigation for Commercial Vehicle Users

Mike Forbes at Electric Compass explains how a Truck version of GPS Navigation can help your enterprise mobility deployment.

There are usually problems when trucks go where they are not supposed to. From penalties for driving on restricted roads to the danger and costs of a high truck meeting a low overpass, the costs can be extreme in a monetary, productivity and physical sense.

Ouch!

Ouch II !!

Our recommendation is not to use a navigation solution designed for cars in a situation with a tractor trailer or other large commercial vehicle. Trucks and cars require different approaches to route creation and using the wrong solution with a larger commercial vehicle creates a dangerous and potentially costly situation.

Cars are very different from trucks and other commercial vehicles. They fit under low bridges and have virtually no road usage restrictions. On the other hand, routing trucks is a much more complex process with many additional variables in play – truck configuration, size (in multiple dimensions), and even the type of load being carried.

To effectively create routes for trucks the navigation solution needs access to truck-specific map data (such as Tele Atlas Logistics) and then needs to incorporate multiple cost models based on specific truck dimensions, legal restrictions and/or the cargo being carried. These restrictions result in a different “shortest path” from origin to destination for a truck than for a car.
Factors that need to be addressed in truck routing fall into three broad categories:

1) Physical Restrictions based on interplay of vehicle dimensions and physical infrastructure such as underpass height, road width, vehicle length, bridge capacity, etc…. If these restrictions are ignored, vehicle and/or infrastructure damage can occur, in addition to violations.

2) Provisional Restrictions, such as roads where commercial vehicles are not allowed by law, rather than because of physical restrictions. Failure to observe these restrictions can result in a non-compliance violation and associated fines.

3) Hazardous Materials Restrictions are specific materials banned from certain bridges, tunnels and other locations such as flammable, volatile, radioactive and caustic material and their individual category classifications.

A navigation solution for trucks and commercial vehicles needs to take these additional components into account when creating a route. But even then, drivers must remain vigilant and look for road signs and other warnings to avoid problems. GPS navigation solutions provide a great guide and can increase productivity and cut costs, but they should never overrule the driver’s observations and common sense.

Now that we’ve examined some of the issues involved in routing trucks with a GPS navigation solution, I’ve included information below on Electric Compass’s Enterprise Navigator TRUCK product which is designed to meet the challenges of commercial truck navigation.

GPS is a transformative technology

Mike Forbes at Electric Compass explains how GPS is a real asset in Enterprise Mobility

GPS navigation is a transformative technology for both consumer and business users. It definitely fits the statement that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” And why not? - GPS knows where you are and takes you where you’re going…just like magic.

But the real magic is in the return on investment it can bring to fleet operators. What follows are some quick and powerful ways you can quantify the ROI magic and sell it to your customers. And keep reading, the real ROI magic may not be what you think it is.

How to quantify the ROI of Turn-by-Turn GPS Navigation

There are two main areas where a fleet can benefit from deploying GPS navigation solutions (such as Electric Compass’s Enterprise Navigator). These are: using less fuel and reclaiming unproductive driving time. Here, we’ll look at how you can show these savings as concrete numbers and then combine them to make a very persuasive case for GPS.

[Editor's Note: We are using miles/gallons/dollars in the examples below, but these can be easily translated into KMs/liters/Euros or other currencies.]

Saving Fuel

Ask a customer how much fuel they think they’ll save by using GPS navigation and they’ll be hard pressed to provide an answer. Odds are, they’ll agree there will be savings but have little idea of how much. Here is an approach you can use to determine what level of fuel savings a fleet customer will see:

Benchmark: 12% Fuel Savings for mix of routine and non-routine travel. Research from a large digital map supplier showed that users of GPS saved an average of 12% on fuel*. If the fleet operator can provide a number of miles traveled per vehicle per week and an average miles per gallon rating for fleet vehicles, this is a pretty easy calculation. For this example, we’ll use a figure of 400 miles a week and 12 miles per gallon per vehicle.

GPS Fuel Savings Example: 250 vehicle fleet

Miles Traveled per week:
400

Miles Per Gallon per vehicle
12

Fuel Used per vehicle
33.33

(Miles Traveled divided by Miles per Gallon)


Fuel Cost per gallon (US Diesel Price as of 9/17/09)
$ 2.66

Weekly Fuel Cost per vehicle
$ 88.66

(Fuel Used multiplied by Fuel Cost)


Weekly Fuel Cost Savings per vehicle
$ 10.64

(Weekly Fuel Cost multiplied by .12)


Yearly Fuel Cost Savings per vehicle
$ 532

(Weekly Fuel Cost Savings multiplied by 50 weeks)


Yearly Fuel Cost Savings for 250 vehicle fleet
$ 133,000

(Yearly Fuel Cost Savings multiplied by 250)



Saving Time

With enough ROI from fuel savings alone to justify GPS navigation, the real magic of GPS actually kicks in when you look at the field worker labor time you can save. Here’s a way to determine what the labor savings per driver will be:

Benchmark: 54 Minutes Saved per day by using GPS. In research by a major mobile computer maker, fleet operators reported an average savings of 54 minutes a day per field worker for a total labor savings of $5,484 per year. That works out to an hourly labor rate of about $26 an hour. (If the fleet operator you are working with has a different hourly rate for its drivers/technicians, you can plug in that number instead). If you round the minutes down to 45 per day, you can show savings of $19.50 per day. How does this play out for a fleet:
GPS Labor Savings Example: 250 vehicle fleet

Hourly Labor Rate
$ 26.00

Daily Labor Savings per driver (45 minutes)
$ 19.50

(Hourly Labor Rate multiplied by .75)


Weekly Labor Savings per driver
$ 97.50

(Daily Labor Savings multiplied by 5 days)


Yearly Labor Savings per driver
$ 4,875.00

(Weekly Labor Savings multiplied by 50 weeks)


Yearly Labor Savings for 250 vehicle fleet
$ 1,218,750.00

(Yearly Labor Savings multiplied by 250)



Yes, that’s over a million dollars a year for 250 drivers or technicians.

Think you can't save 45 minutes a day?. Even if the savings is only 45 minutes a week, the yearly savings are still $975 per worker and over $240,000 for a 250 vehicle fleet, representing a payback time of a matter a months.

And while time savings can translate into lower labor costs these savings could also allow fleets to schedule more stops per driver per day. For example, if an average stop takes 20 minutes, based on the 54 minutes of time reclaimed, an additional stop could be added to each driver’s schedule. This translates into significant savings as a leaner fleet can service the same number of stops or the current fleet can add more stops.

Add It Up

Now, let’s look at the total savings from using GPS navigation on a per-vehicle and total fleet basis:

Per Vehicle/Driver Savings

Yearly Fuel Cost Savings per vehicle
$ 532

Yearly Labor Savings per worker
$ 4,875

Combined Yearly Savings
$ 5,407


Yearly Savings by Fleet Size

25 Vehicles
$ 135,175

100 Vehicles
$ 540,700

250 Vehicles
$ 1,351,750


So, if you’ve ever had any questions about how to present the value of GPS to customers, just let the numbers speak for themselves…they’re magic.
