  1. Thank you for this opportunity. Empowering the Mobile WorkForce with .NET Technology Demo Center — Rendezvous Point: Atlantic Tuesday, February 23, 2010 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM Your Presenters today are: Mark Stewart & Michelle Leale Phone: 616-554-9060 e-Mail: QAD@radley.com

  2. Empowering the Mobile Workforce Increasing WorkForce Productivity By Design

  3. Enhanced Usability with .Net Usability is a qualitative attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use Usability is now recognized industry wide as an important software quality attribute Enhanced usability is the product of technology and intelligent design of the interaction with a software user interface .Net on Win Mobile provides a powerful platform to create ongoing enhancements to usability based on work flow while meeting QAD transaction requirements USABILITY USABILITY USABILITY

  4. Attributes of Usability Familiarity: Do users associate the look and feel with other designs they have seen? Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design? Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks? Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they re establish proficiency?

  5. Increased Efficiency Intelligent Prompting e.g.: Lot, serial, data defaults No manual entry on mobile device Data access responsiveness No clicking “Ok” to close windows Information return only if not “Ok” Minimize total click count Navigation + scan count

  6. Work Flow Driven Data Access Browse QAD data on Mobile Client Item location, quantities, lots, etc Scrap reasons PO lines Shipping schedules, details Container content relationships Work flow driven User selectable

  7. Empowering the Mobile Workforce Usability and Efficiency In Action! - Item Transfer - Manual vs. Automated [Play Video]

  8. Empowering the Mobile Workforce Leveraging .Net Beyond the User Interface

  9. Manual Data Entry Manual Time Keeping Manual Data Collection from Machinery Manual Shop Floor Execution QAD Enterprise Applications Shop Floor Execution QAD Transactions Receiving QAD Inventory Manufacturing Labeling Payroll/ Other Shipping 10

  10. Automatic Data Collection Automatic Time Keeping PLC/Machine Integration QAD Data Collection (DC) QAD Enterprise Applications Shop Floor Execution QAD Transactions Receiving QAD Inventory QAD Data Collection Manufacturing Labeling Payroll/ Other Shipping 11

  11. Adaptive Work Flow Execution A Mobile Client should use .Net to integrate manufacturing process requirements with defined QAD process flows Mobile work flows are designed to streamline the collection of data to the minimum number of scans possible while generating the required data flow and transaction execution into QAD Error management is integral to the work flow to prevent execution errors before they occur Work flows should be configurable to adapt to changes in manufacturing processes or QAD process flows

  12. or Enhanced Mobile Client capabilities using .Net on Win Mobile On the WAN Connected Mobile Client Data Model Single HW server, distributed HW, Or Virtual Servers WiFi Mobile Client QAD Server Q*ADC Server • Less reliant on database for validation and defaults • Takes advantage of mobile technology

  13. or Enhanced Mobile Client capabilities using .Net on Win Mobile Or off the WAN Offline (batch) Mobile Client Data Model Single HW server, distributed HW, Or Virtual Servers Replicated data from database server for offline mode Mobile Client Q*ADC Server QAD Server • Full power of mobile technology leveraged • Windows Mobile • SQL Compact Server on device • Local storage

  14. Configure Screens/Menus to Match Business Processes

  15. Localized for the Mobile WorkForce Device-Level Multiple Language Support

  16. Empowering the Mobile Workforce Adapting the Work Flow! - Consolidated transactions - Multi language

  17. 2D Labeling 2D Labeling More Than Just a Mandate

  18. What is 2D? • 2D can contain up to 1,000 characters, depending on format vs. 20 characters in a 1 dimensional barcode • Linear barcodes (or 1D) get longer as more data is encoded • 2D barcode encode data in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions • 1D barcodes typically depend on links to a larger database • 2D contains a sort of mini-database itself, which includes information on the product and its attributes which can be encrypted

  19. Some 2D Symbologies PDF417 Data Matrix Aztec Code MaxiCode HCCB Supporting 2D means more than just hardware scanning support. Your DC software must support the migration

  20. Empowering the Mobile Workforce Leveraging 2D Demonstrated! PO Receipt 1D vs. 2D

  21. PO # PO200253 *PO200253* Item # 49288 *49288* Qty 17 *17* Lot 98231112 *98231112*

  22. Intelligent Labeling From Automated Labeling To Intelligent Labeling

  23. Intelligent Labeling Print predefined labels Mobile label printing Document printing Internet label printing Printer Management Define printers, label format & printer hierarchy Link devices to users, users to printers and transaction type to label format Accurate labels, in the right place, at the right time, in the right quantity!

  24. Nested Container/Inventory Management License Plate System “Master, mixed, detail labels on steroids” Associate multiple data elements with a single serial/license plate # scan: Warehouse / Location Employee ID Part / Lot / Serial Quantity / Unit of Measure Container Serial # PO / Vendor Other IntelliLabelTM • A great tool for selective serial numbering, kitting / bagging, etc.

  25. IntelliLabelTM Update QAD with the status of: - 1 Box of - 12 Items …via a single label scan in your Q*ADC transaction! 1 box of: - 12 lot & serial controlled items

  26. IntelliLabelTM Update IFS with the status of: • 1 Master Carton of • 12 boxes of • 144 items • . . . via a single label scan in your Q*ADC transaction! 1 Master Carton of: • 12 boxes of • 12 lot & serial controlled items

  27. IntelliLabelTM Update QAD with the status of: - 1 Pallet of - 27 Master Cartons of - 324 Boxes of - 3,888 Items . . . via a single label scan in your Q*ADC transaction! 1 pallet of: • 27 Master Cartons of • 12 boxes of • 12 lot & serial items

  28. IntelliLabel — Track & Trace History • Tracks pallet/container from receipt through manufacturing to shipment • Tracks associated PO/Job/Shop Order/Shipper history/parent-child relationships Control and/or verify pallet/container status • Active/Inactive • Assigned to job/work order • QA Hold or Accepted • WIP • Shipment status • Assignments Ideal for tracing customer defect alerts!
