Mobile Set is a development tool to extend to wireless devices and to transplant business logic and functionality of higher-level management system to the field level. It is a competitive software environment to design mobile tasks without development effort and to enjoy full information of the immediate state of task, operator and device. Mobile Set is customizable without developer, scalable to enterprise sizes and tasks heterogeneity.

Integration partner gets all benefits of a development tool:

• customization to a specific project is quicker, easier and clearer by customer or integrator, no need of external development
• unified functions of interface design as well as device management are provided
• tested usability and reliability of client-server architecture, including multi-level one
• example integrations: retail, logistics, industrial track-and-trace

Client-Server application built within MS Windows CE.Net Framework for wireless environment

• Easy to install, maintain, support, provide training
• Dynamic extension and integration mechanism via COM/DCOM

Centralized remote management of devices

• Application remote installation and update
• Settings update
• System firmware remote upgrade
• Flexible options of device management

Online 2-way communications

• Tracking, Reporting, Control with immediate data exchange and data verification
• Data from Operator is sent to the System immediately which means no work failures such as for example:
  • Difficulty to provide data update & data relevance in devices and in the System, time losses due to double-checking of data
  • Data loss after many-hours repetitive operations due to casualties with devices or within uploading session
  • Data upload is fully under Operator's responsibility. In online mode, Mobile Set automatically sends data
• Each Operator's action is registered within the System – enabling multi-user simultaneous correct work task execution & totally different focus for work arrangements (goods-in, inventory with several devices:)
• Full online data exchange deletes device memory limitations
• Three particular advantages as compared to terminal work mode:
  • Work at network failure or where network is not provided or not stable: positive
  • Full control of devices and software (for example, to disable device keys or program buttons, to forbid some operations:): positive
  • Redundant data exchange between device and server: eliminated
