A successful mobility project requires more than just a computing platform and applications. A successful mobility project requires a complete mobility solution including mobile devices designed for the desired usage model, mobile application development, mobile device management, project administration and systems integration support. This list can be daunting for anyone looking at undertaking a mobility project.
The complexity of a mobility project can prevent many companies from initiating projects that would provide benefits of "Going Mobile." Fears that development will be costly, time consuming, or will provide an undesired outcome often stop projects dead in their tracks. Perceived risks include:
Trimble MCS' Forestry Automation business unit launched Blue Ox in the first quarter of 2010. The Blue Ox solution provides an innovative route optimization and management solution and leverages the Yuma rugged tablet and the Nomad rugged handheld computers.
"Trimble has rugged, portable computers that would be ideal for working on data collection in harsh field conditions, with dust, wind, rain, heat, grit, poop and blood – namely, on penguins. For 27 years we have studied Magellanic penguins at Punta Tombo, Argentina home which hosts the world's largest colony of this species. Our interests are in the conservation of the 200,000 breeding penguins, which last year attracted over 100,000 tourists . . ."
So began a letter from Dr. P. Dee Boersma, professor of biology at University of Washington. So, also began a partnership that would enable Dr. Boersma and her team to use Trimble Yuma outdoor rugged computers to capture information that was previously recorded by pen and paper.
Ask Steve Leuschner, president and CEO of Cardinal Tracking, and he'll tell you a lot has changed in parking enforcement since 1985, when his company invented the first automated parking solution.
For one thing, enforcement is much more efficient thanks to Trimble's Nomad, which, he says, has the fastest processor and largest memory of any handheld device used by parking enforcement officers.
