Industrial Mobility

<History/>

Once upon a time

DOS based character devices

Symbol PDT3100:

8MHz 80c80 type (NEC V25)

Applications:

In store (Inventory, Re-Order, etc), In warehouse (Picking, Order preparation) outside the 4 wall (route accounting).

Consumer OS

PalmOS v3.5(33MHz Motorola DragonBall/VZ)

PocketPC 2000, 20002, Windows Mobile 2003, 2005, 6.0, 6.1 (206MHz Intel StrongArm)

Plus custom drivers and libraries (WiFi, Barcodes, deployment, etc)

Current days

• Windows Embedded HandHeld 6.5.3

• Windows Embedded Compact 7

2014 & wearables

• Wearables for picking since 1990s

<FUTURE/>

So Many Choices

• Legacy is still an option (supported till 2020)

• WE8.1H has been announced by MSFT

• Android (dominant Consumer OS)

• Windows on Intel?

Importance of Consumer SuccessIMPACT ON THE ENTERPRISE

1 “Zero Training” – familiar UI/Ux

2 Silicon Vendor & ODM/JDM Mindshare

3 Access To Programmer Resources & Tools & Critical ISV Application Support

4 Leverage of Off-The-Shelf “Prosumer” App Store Applications & Services

COLLABORATION UTILS CRM

APPS

5 “Outside-In”: From Customers….To BYOD….To CLD

CUSTOMER APPS EMPLOYEE BYOD ASSOCIATE CLD’S

6Unsuccessful Consumer Platforms Do Not Survive; KIN: 4 months, WP7: 24 months, Maemo, Bada (30 months)…

2013…2015...2020… LONGEVITY

Why Android Now?

• more than 80% of WW consumer market share(source: Gartner)

• Java most popular programming language(source: Tiobe)

• ISV’s gravitate to develop for largest installed base(source: VisionMobile)

• OSS Leveraging(e.g. AoSP now used by Nokia in their X platform)

Easy Deployment

• User is not in charge!

• Devices are tools for a job, needs to be ready out of the box

• Think about deploying thousand of devices, already setup, depending on which shop they show up.

• If you can use it, an MDM can save the day!

More Power to the Devs!

• Configure the device

• Reboot the device

• Time sync

• Device lockdown

• DataCapture

• Battery Management

Easy Support

• Logging solution behaviour

• Remote Analysis and management

• HotFix deployment

CROSSPLATFORM?

Based around web technologies- RhoMobile (full web app, JavaScript & Ruby)- PhoneGap (frontend only, JavaScript)

Bringing a different dev.environment to the table:- Xamarin (C#)- Titanium (JavaScript)

Mapping is a comodity Routing is not!

Example: CoPilot Professional•Robust, reliable, ‘free-to-use’ GPS routing – effective in all mapped locations including those with little or no mobile coverage

•Fast, multi-stop routing optimisation, utilising Motorola Solutions processor capabilities

•Through SDK customisation, the mobile internet becomes a method of enabling business compliance – For example, monioring Current Location, ETAs and facilitating Job Dispatch

•Validated and compliant with a Motorola Solutions mobile computers running Android/Windows Embedded Handheld OS

GMS and Google ID

Not always the right solution in an Enterprise:

- Devices could be shared between employee- Need to work in an intranet environment
