What is Mobisys MSB?

It is possible to connect any type of device to the MSB: From Internet Explorer or Pocket Explorer up to the powerful MSB Client.

Even the connection of stationary scanning systems or RFID-Systems can be realized via the MSB to work scanning data from production or logistics.

The direct connection of Pick-by-Voice Systems completes the variability of the MSB.



MSB generates ABAP function modules through the screen-information entered in MSB Screen Designer. The related function modules can be changed and you can include your own individual ABAP coding to realize any logic. Mobile screens can be connected to any SAP Module!

Design Mobile Screens with MSD

With the help of the Mobisys Screen Designer (MSD) it is possible to create the application screens for the mobile terminals. The MSD is directly connected to the MSB on the SAP Web Application Server and the screen layouts are stored directly on the SAP Server and are available for all connected terminals.


Outlook 2010/2011:

Q2/2010 Q4/2010 Q1/2011

MSD Release 2.6.3

MSB Client fr iPhoneMSB Client fr

Android, Blackberry, etc.


With Mobisys Solution Builder you can easily create mobile applications for use with browsers (without programming HTML) or for use with the Mobisys MSB Client (which is more powerful than a browser!). MSB runs on any SAP Web Application Server ( Release 6.1).Screen information are stored in customizing tables. Mobisys Screen-Designer can be used for easy screen design in WYSIWYG mode. The process logic is exclusively programmed in ABAP and basic program structures are created automatically by the MSB by pressing a function key after screen design.

Additionally to mobile terminals, you can also connect Voice based systems directly to SAP and control the complete voice dialog out from the ABAP workbench. There is no additional middleware or server process for the voice terminals needed.

What is Mobisys MSB?


Fully integrated in SAP Web Application Server ( Version 6.1) MSB-Kernel completely written in ABAP and Java Script

No knowledge in Web-programming necessary! MSB applications will be completely programmed in ABAP.

For browser based terminal the MSB creates dynamically HTML-Pages in SAP WAS (BSP-Pages)

MSB own authorization concept (user and role administration)

No programming outside of SAP / ABAP needed. No programming on the terminals needed

Changes made in MSB can be displayed on browser/client immediately

Full support of SAP powerful change management to transport the changes into other sytems (Development Test Productive)

MSB - capability characteristics:


Any mobile devices with Windows CE, Windows Pocket PC or Windows Mobile can be used.

Device management to connect any mobile devices (CE, PPC, WM, Browser) in one installation.

External Screen-Design-Tool (MSD) for easy and rapid screen design

Integrated user and authorization management. SAP user or MSB users (anonymous logon with a single SAP WAS user) can be applied.

Full integrated in ABAP Workbench. Standard ABAP debugger can be used to debug mobile applications

Multi language support on the terminals

User Management with optional Remote Control Tool implemented

MSB - capability characteristics:


Existent hardware can be used -> protection of investment

Runs on separate WAS with remote-connection to SAP R/3 or directly on the Enterprise system

Minimization of training costs: no explicit knowledge of WAS, Mobile Engine, XML or HTML necessary

Easy-To-Learn- and Quick-To-Develop-Tool:Screen design is independent from business logic and can be developed separately.

Minimization of development costs:Framework automatically generated by Mobisys MSB Focus can be set on business processes

Customer benefit:


Connection MSB to SAP:

As of Release 4.70 or higher (SAP Enterprise) MSB can be installed on the same server than SAP Enterprise itself. Installation takes place in a mobisys own namespace (/mobisys/).

Variant 1


With SAP releases < 4.70 MSB has to be installed on a separate WAS (release 6.1 oder higher). MSB calls RFC function modules on SAP R/3 server via typical R/3 to R/3 connection.

Variant 2


RFC/BAPIR/3 Connection


Connection of more than 100 mobile devices: In that case it is recommended to separate R/3 and WAS, MSB is supposed to run on one or more separate WAS.


Variant 3



In projects with many mobile devices multiple WAS Server can be used for communication between devices and SAP. One of these servers is confi-gured as central instance and has an own database. The SAP Web-Dis-patcher assures load balancing for the Web Application Servers.

The MSB can also be configured as a Middleware and can communicate with SAP in an asynchronous way via IDOCs. In this case the RF System can work, even when SAP is down!

Variant 4 (asynchronous connection)


IDOC



Asynchronous Connection

The Web Application Server is connected to R/3 via remote connection. While R/3 is online, data which are entered on mobile devices are posted via RFC or BAPI. Is there no connection between SAP R/3 and WAS, data are buffered on WAS and posted later via IDOC or tRFC in SAP R/3.

RFC / tRFC

BAPI


WAS and Security

For maximum security it is possible to create a DMZ-Zone by installing a firewall in front and behind of the Web Dispatcher. The connection between the Web Application Server and SAP R/3 can also be filtered by installing a third firewall.

Please note also file WAS Tech Infrastructure.PDF

MSB - Details


MSB - Details:

The navigation window provides an project-overview. All menus, screens and screen-components are listed and can be changed.

From here you can also navigate to the referencing ABAP programs of each screen.


MSB - Details:

In the Properties screen elements can be customized: define data type, define layout, set default values, associate events, ....


MSB - Details:

The initial creation of the PBO and PAI modules is done automatically.

Only customer-specific coding has to be added.


MSB users and user profiles:

An integrated user administration tool allows a flexible configuration of the mobile user profiles and the access to the mobile system..

With a single mouse-click, it is possible to link different roles to the user profile .

On the mobile terminal only menu entries and masks of the active roles are appearing.


MSB users and user profiles:

You can create any number of MSB user rolls which can then be connected to menu items and users.

And this totally independent from the SAP user rolls and user profiles.


MSB Configuration:

In the MSB Configuration Transaction you can create and maintain users, and the devices, define workareas for the mobile users and you can also set the basic settings for the MSB installation.


MSB Screen Samples


Examples with MSB Client:

On the left you see a menu. You can choose an option by touching the buttons or by entering the short code. For Example press 1 and 0 for activating the goods receipt transaction.

Instead of pushing a button you can use also keyboard shortcodes (like pressing 3 and 0 for Picking button) or functions keys. Any function key can be related to any button on the screen.

Please Note:

The Windows operating system is completely hidden. The user has no access to the Windows system! All special function keys from the operating system are deactivated!



With the MSB it is possible to use scan-fields (only when the cursor is positioned in a scan field the barcode scanner ist active!), radio buttons, selection lists and push buttons.

You can define any size for buttons fonts or labels...

...and you can place it on any position of the screen! Pixel by pixel!

I



You can use different background colors and any size of letters for showing the most important information.

Of course the cursor navigates to the next entry field, when you press the [Enter] key!

Pressing the [Enter] key in the last entry field of a screen has the same function as pressing the Save button. So in the most cases it is not necessary to place buttons on the screen!



You can use also images and graphics instead of text based push buttons.

With the graphics buttons it is very easy to create multilingual projects.



Status messages are displayed in the bottom of the screen, and the worker can continue the scanning process without pressing any key or confirming the message.

With this message a status beep is sent and informs the worker also in an acoustic way.

The status line can be placed at any position of the screen and can be of any font size and color.



Every time an error message appears, an acoustic BadBeep is being sent and the scanner is switched off, so that the worker can continue scanning and has to look on the display and has to read the information.



Every time a question appears, an acoustic WarnBeep is being sent and the scanner is switched off, so that the worker has to look on the display and read the information.

Please Note:

Every button can be linked to a short code or function key! So it is also possible to use the keyboard instead of the touch screen!


MSB Standard Transactions

For rapid and cost effective realization of mobile data collection projects, Mobisys has developed so called Standard Transactions.

Mobisys can deliver these read-to-use transactions for a wide range of processes in logistics, production or service.

They can be used as they are but it is also open to every ABAP programmer to modify them according to the specific needs of each customer.

Monitoring RFID-Data in MSB

With the MSB RF-ID Monitor it is possible to control all RF-ID activities.

You can check all the bookings which have been done via RF-ID reader transactions.

The MSB can collect and cumulate RFID Data, so that not each tag which has been read, will cause a booking.

Each booking is stored with timestamp and with information from which reader it has been generated in the monitor.


Configuration RFID Readers

With the MSB RFID Reader Configuration it is possible to configure the connection between the readers and the SAP System. You can connect any number of readers to a SAP system which runs the MSB.

An intelligent device-management included in the MSB can handle the devices and connect them with a high performance data exchange rate.


Intelligent Device Management

The MSB device management guarantees, that only RFID readers which are known in the Device Management of the MSB can have access to the Mobisys MSB.

Unknown or unactive reader devices cannot connect to the SAP System. The access is denied by the MSB Communication Level.


MSB and Pick by Voice



The MSB Voice Edition allows to connect voice based terminals like the Dictulus from PerDictum, the Voxter from Topsystem or any mobile Terminal with Windows Mobile and an adequate audio hardware included, directly to the SAP System. The complete voice process and logic is programmed in ABAP.


Pick by Voice with dedicated Terminals



The creation of the voice dialog is done in a MSB Transaction! In this transaction the voice dialog is created through some mouse clicks. The voice output and the voice input is defined here.

After having defined the dialog structure, the complete process logic is created in ABAP function modules. By double clicking on these icons the ABAP workbench is launched and the function module can be edited by the developer.



Voice dialogs are created through some mouse clicks The dialogs also can also be created in multiple languages! The standard SAP

tools can be used for translation.

Voice messages can be fix or program controlled. The developer has the choice!

It can be defined if an optional scanner can be used in the actual input field, or if global

commandos like louder, slower, etc. are active in this input field.


MSB und Pick by Voice

The connection to the voice terminal is done directly from the ABAP workbench.

In the workbench the developer can set breakpoints to debug simultaneously the actual voice session


Pick by Voice with Windows Mobile Devices



The Voice process is defined during the screen design. Items like input fields, labels or buttons can be voice enabled.

With input fields it is possible to enter the data via voice, via keyboard, or when scanning is allowed via barcode scanner.

So a multimode data entry is possible!

Goto Aisle 4Bin 02-02

Okay

Check Digit?

four seven



User-dependent voice settingsA umber of different user dependent settings can be set in the SAP user administration of the mobile voice user.

From audio settings for the device up to logical settings for the process, everything can be regulated inside SAP.

The check digit for example can be activated by a percentage value. It is up to the warehouse manager to define which worker has to enter the check digit and with which percentage.



Why Pick by Voice with MSB?- No additional Servers needed!

- Devices are connected directly to SAP

- Program and flow logic is defined completely in SAP in ABAP

- No middleware programming

- Small communication protocol for high performance

- System can be extended, modified and optimized by customer own SAP ABAP programmers.

- Dialogs can be debugged inside the ABAP workbench

- Communication between SAP and voice terminals can be protocolled

- Extreme short response times guarantee high performance processes.

- Can be used with any SAP Module: LES (WM), SD, QS, PP, PM, CS



Advantages of Pick by Voice:- hands free picking possible

- no need of picking lists

- no need of operation with a terminal, keyboard, scanner

- information transfer only by listening and answering

- worker can focus on the picking process

- reduction of picking times

- increasing of the effectiveness in the warehouse

- especially suitable for orders with a lot of positions



An Example of an Voice Dialog:- Enter username

- Enter password

- Verification user in SAP

- Looking for open transfer order in the users workarea

- Announcing of aisle

- Confirmation with OK

- Announcing storage bin

- Confirmation with check digit

- Announcing material and quantity

- Confirmation with OK

- Confirmation of TO-Position


MSB User Monitor

The MSB User Monitorallows to see, how many mobile users are logged in.

In conjunction with the SOTI Pocket Controller, it is possible to get an access directly to the terminal by only one mouse click in SAP. Here you can see the state of the terminal, can kill or launch processes and run the terminal remotely.


MSB Workforce Activity Manager

Especially for picking processes Mobisys developed the Workforce Activity Manager.

With this tool, it is possible to you can organize your resources and get an overview about the actual situation in the different picking areas.

You can move resources by drag and drop and show detailed data of your transfer orders, deliveries, shipments with only one double click.


Summary:

With the Mobisys Solution Builder a rapid development of mobile solutions is possible. The realized applications can easily be used on Windows CE, Windows Pocket PC, or Windows Mobile terminals.

All the screen informations are stored in SAP tables and changes get effective at once without any compilation or logout and login.

The concept of the MSB is release independent to SAP releases. MSB can be connected to SAP Systems beginning with release 3.0x. The MSB itself can be installed on any Netweaver bases SAP Server with ABAP Stack, as of release 6.30.

The realization of a mobile project is completely done in ABAP, so no knowledge of JAVA or HTML is necessary!

The communication between MSB Client and SAP Server is reduced to only 20% of the traffic a browser based application would cause! Short response times and less traffic on your WAN connection are guaranteed!
