Extend the life of your Intermec 700









The Intermec 700 has been a real workhorse for many users in the enterprise device market over the last few years. Unlike contemporary units when it was designed in built GPS was still far in the future.
Our OrbitGPS G3010 is a cost effective GPS enhancement to legacy Intermec 700 deployments. Adding the G3010 allows users to enjoy the benefits of add navigation and/or tracking functionality without replacing installed equipment.

The unit is ideal where the user is predominantly on foot and not looking to return the unit to a vehicle cradle. The computer can be charged through the attachment with a standard dock charger.

Add time and date to pictures in your Windows Mobile application

We have added a neat feature to our application platform. Take a picture using the built in camera and get the time/data embedded on the photo. Useful for any application where some proof of presence is required. It also means the worker does not need to carry around a separate camera.
It's amazing how many rugged computers using Windows Mobile do not have this facility out of the box.

Challenge us to build a prototype of your application in 72 hours.

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?
Read the whole white paper.

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.....

Track workers from within your mobility application.


Stand alone GPS tracking systems have been around for a long time and can have a well proven ROI. However in some installs information overload can lead to frustration about why the system was installed in the first place.
We built tracking into the latest version of MobileFrame not to pretend to be a logistics scheduling engine with vehicle telematics features but to simply enable management access to real-time location and status information from right within the mobility application itself.
Be able to tell customers where your mobile worker is and when he will arrive at their location or re-route the nearest vehicle to a high priority site when another vehicle is delayed. Real-time insight into the location and status of your lone workers in the field. This will all help strengthen your organisation operationally allowing quicker response to customer requests and changing conditions in the field.
