  3. Agriculture • Problem: Pistachios must go from tree to huller quickly to maximize quality • Use 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)

  4. 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 records • Interactive surveys in the classroom

  5.

  8. 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
