Agriculture Problem: Pistachios must go from tree to huller
quickly to maximize qualityUse PDAs to scan barcodes on individual bins and to update data records
Problem: In managing artificial insemination of cattle, it’s essential to know where samples come from
Record activities on a custom mobile application, rather than on paper forms (save 25% on data management costs)
Education Problem: School administrators need access to
student information outside of the office and classroom (e.g., roaming the halls or at events)
Mobile access to schedules, contact and medical information
Problem: Laptop PCs take up too much space in lab and create a barrier between teachers and students in the classroom
PDAs with special sensors as lab tools and data recordsInteractive surveys in the classroom
Law Enforcement Problem: It’s inefficient for police officers to
conduct vehicle and person checks over walkie-talkies
Allow queries from mobile devices
Problem: Analysis of potential racial profiling requires specific data about police encounters
Give officers a questionnaire to fill out every time they make a stop
Health Care Problem: Paper medical records are difficult to
manage and maintainProvide mobile devices for the electronic dictation and review of medical records
Problem: Thousands of deaths each year are caused by administration of the wrong medication
Scan medication upon administration and electronically for a valid physician order
Real Estate Problem: Real estate agents are frequently
showing property to clients and need to access information back at the office
Provide mobile access to property and customer profile information
Transportation Problem: Truckers need up-to-date information
about pickup and delivery destinations, especially with increasingly real-time shipping needs
Combine GPS tracking and navigation with automated dispatching
Problem: Dispatching taxi cabs to the closest customers is a difficult process
Use GPS-enabled mobile devices to track and send jobs to a fleet of taxis
