Agenda Supply Chain Priorities Mobile Client Architecture Task Optimization Systems of Reality
Supply Chain Priorities Speed Customization Perfect Execution The Intelligent Enterprise Visibility
The in-premise execution systems must move on from Win CE / Win Mobile 2015 IDC Mobile OS Market Share
Android Is Reducing Enterprise OS Fragmentation
The key-optimized handheld Still the dominant form factor for execution systems Will continue to be supported through Android Support for legacy systems User Interface / Mobile Client
The touch-optimized handheld Significant productivity improvement Can operate with legacy systems: Character-based screens Touch keyboards Can be optimized at the client to work with legacy systems Ready for browser and native clients
Client-side user interface for legacy systems BEFORE AFTER
Enhanced workflow with image capture Say Damaged Product Use the camera to capture condition of materials or shipment
Enhanced workflow with image presentation Leverage images for item verification Pack level confirmation Non bar-coded items
Systems of Reality: RFID Trends Retail adoption is driving RFID at item level Seeing steady growth in manufacturing, transportation & logistics, and healthcare Higher performance + Smaller form factors + lower cost Continuing to remove the human factor from more operations Integration of RFID technologies, one size does not fit all UHF, HF, NFC, UWB, BLE Data ---> actionable business information Importance of software and data analytics Data accuracy and integrity Moving toward the Internet of Things (IoT)
