Motorola
Roberto Mielle
Systems Engineer at Motorola
Motorola is now divided into 3 different arms: residential solutions, personal mobility and enterprise mobility while occupying a position on the market called 4C: capture, connection, communication and control data.
As for equipment, systems engineer of the company, Roberto Mielle, listed a series of equipment compared with the strength characteristics, such as those that are extremely robust, as the MC70, that support drops about 2 feet of concrete on the ground, and temperatures from -20 to 50 degrees centigrade. "The applications of our equipment meet the diverse needs and professional segments, such as managers and supervisors of retail sales representatives and sales executives in the field, delivery, telecommunications, healthcare, construction, etc.".
Mielle explained that in the case of devices Automation Sales Force, the intelligence, which is the base, is installed in a plant. The employee leaves the base equipped with the sink already pre-loaded with the routes to be completed, price lists, promotions and inventory, for example. The destination can vary from large retail stores and distribution centers, small establishments with an average of 60 visits per day. "To realize the sale of products that are in your vehicle, the employee meets a few more tasks that optimize the sales process of the company, as a replacement photographer, provision of competitive products, registration of new plans to sell," he reports. In addition, the systems engineer says it is important that requests are forwarded by the collector to the central network via WWAN, in order to make the monitoring is done in real time. "This ensures greater flexibility and efficiency of the process system."
To perform data collection in the field, Mielle lists some types of devices, such as the MC35 (smartphone), the MC70xy, MC90xy (able to withstand the extreme aggression) and MC50 (which has no GSM).
For him, the future of management in wireless convergence, and offer the Wireless Enterprise Application, Enterprise Application Wired, VoWLAN Business Connectivity and Enterprise RFID application. Additionally, these RFID systems, he relates RFID tags and reusable supplies, RFID readers and antennas fixed, stationary or mobile, handheld and multi joint RFID.
Case Air Liquide
About a year, Intemobile completed the development of a mobile solution for process automation in the sales field for Brazil's Air Liquide is a world leader in industrial gas and medical, which replaced an automation made 8 years ago, that used data collectors with DOS operating system and communication bacth.MC 75 - Motorola Announces the MC75's arrival in Brazil in the next semester.
MC75 Data Collector
Motorola Launches the new EDA (Enterprise Digital Assistant), the model MC 75, a rugged and offers all the resources and flexibility needed to maximize your productivity. The MC75 is a device to work in all types of environments, including harsh environments and subject to dust. All this is a function of its resistance and also by size, because, as a strong equipment that has called Four Radios (wireless, Bluetooth, GSM and IRDA) and reading of bar code or camera 2.0 megapixel, it weighs only 446 grams and allows operators the ultimate in efficiency in field work or internally in the company.The MC75 includes a 3G phone that supports push-to-talk (PTT), GPs, code reading 1D and 2D bar , a 2.0 Megapixel camera with autofocus, FULL VGA display with a resolution of 640 X 480 and backlight, WLAN 802.11 A / B / G, Pan and IRDA all in one device.
