Mobile Application

Overview of Mobile Based Computing System

Mobile based computing is key for next generation of IT services. Using mobile devices people can do digital computing at places where it is not practical to enter data using PC or a laptop. People in such locations can be outfitted with wireless Pocket PCs that download critical data from the central database for day to day operation, they can later synchronize with the server from remote locations, thereby allowing capture of the data in near real time.

This will result in reduction of expense and time that is associated with manual data entry at source and re-entry later into the system. It will basically provide a very efficient way of capturing data in the field and having it populate to the central database that is used to generate final reports for the material handling.

With the increasing processing power of today's mobile devices companies are seeking to connect their workforce to business-critical data and processes.
These devices can carry application and data sufficient for effective field operations which can then be synchronized with enterprise data, enabling competitive advantage, increased productivity and greater efficiency.
BGIL has not only achieved capability to create breakthrough application for these devices but also to integrate technologies like barcode and RFID with these devices

Advantages of Using Mobile Computing:-

• Improved material handling system in terms of reductions in mishandling orders.
• Overall improvement in material control by reducing cycle time and intimation of material status to the concerned
• Increase speed in Managing Inventory and material transfer
• Lower transaction costs with higher accuracy and reduced lead time
• Can be Integrated with standard bar code system
• Can be integrated later with RFID based material management solutions

Key Points:-

• Using wireless technology like Wi-fi, Bluetooth, GPRS the mobile based material management system turns saved minutes into competitive advantages.
• Real-time data integrity and communications speed all operations within a company
• Less wasted time means fewer people can accomplish more in less time
• Reduces time-consuming paperwork and related costs
• Wireless infrastructure may be more cost effective than running cable
• The productivity increase translates into fewer people accomplishing more tasks in less time
• Paper work -- and the associated costs -- are reduced or eliminated
• Up-to-date always available data allows for prompt response times and improved service levels.
