Manufacturing

Manufacturing mobility solutions are having a profound impact on the manufacturing industry by helping increase efficiency and productivity. For example, mobile technology can put schematic, inventory, and fault isolation information in the hands of field technicians, helping them to be more productive. Instead of filing paperwork, these employees can spend more time fixing machinery, going to the storeroom, or researching specific equipment information. These efficiencies help ensure that the equipment operates smoothly and that the resulting operations produce higher quality goods. Equipment problems can be reported and attended to more quickly. Scheduled and emergency work orders can be better addressed during and between shifts. Management can get better visibility into the performance and productivity of the maintenance department and the activities and efficiencies of the maintenance work force.

Manufacturing applications can include:

• Mobile work order management and processing
• Production and non-production inventory management
• Customer defined inspection and audit toolkit
• Asset tracking
• Documentation search and retrieval
• Documentation, capture and verification of invoices
• Trouble ticket management
• Time and materials management review
