Mobile Technical Overview

What are fundamental requirements for an efficient mobile platform?

The fundamental requirements for an efficient mobile platform are:

1. Seamless integration with the Windows CE architecture.

   • GuiXT Mobile embraces the CE architecture completely and it sits on each environment that CE infrastructure is built in such as scan guns, RF guns, handheld units, Pocket PCs, Pocket PC Phone Edition, data collection terminals and portable units.

2. Simplified UI

   • GuiXT Mobile fits SAPGUI inside this environment. It provides the optimum user interface where it is meant to live, breathe and thrive.

3. Smart Attributes

   • For a successful mobile environment the user interface must be intuitive and smart. The physical interaction of the user with the device should be minimal, but the outcome should be maximized. GuiXT Mobile provides increased usability and accuracy of data by validating user actions against predefined business logic. As a result, it lets users scan any tags in any order and manages the data flow within the application.

4. Smart Connection

   • GuiXT Mobile provides automatic connection with SAP ERP application. Even when the handheld device moves out of the Wi-Fi range, GuiXT Server maintains the connection with the SAP ERP. As soon as the mobile device moves into range again, it will pick up from where it left off. Moreover, GuiXT Mobile makes efficient use of communication bandwidth by pushing most of the processing to the GuiXT server side.

5. Fast boot-up time

   • As users turn on their handheld device, they should be ready to scan the items or view information in SAP ERP directly whether it’s a sales status or an inventory status.

6. Negligible Replacement Overhead

   • The setup of a mobile platform in any environment should be minimal. The setup for GuiXT Mobile is minor and users are ready to start scanning with little or no downtime.
