Mobility in Manufacturing - A look back at the journey so far..

The concept of using mobile solutions

in the manufacturing industry is over

two decades old.

Blackberry and iPhone were the

pioneers of mobility solutions for

industries ten years ago.

The concept did not take off because

the industry was not ready.


IDC Manufacturing Insights states that

80% of manufacturers will undertake

developing mobile

apps in 2013. But the current adoption

rates for corporate app stores is less than

20%.

The global mobile workforce is

expected to reach 650 million by 2015.Source: Forrester Research

Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) is

increasingly replacing Bring Your Own

Device (BYOD).


The BYOD concept was the first initiative by manufacturing companies

in bringing mobility to their enterprises.

BYOD – Bring Your Own Device

Mobilized the work process

Instant communication

Reduced cost to the company

Real time monitoring of

work process

How Softweb Solutions is helping

manufacturing companies get

on the mobility platform

Softweb created an app that enables the company’s field service executives and sales

personnel to access customer and service information while they are on the road.

Solution

Cummins Allison – a global leader in the

manufacturing of:

Currency counters, sorters and scanners

Check-deposit and casino-ticket processing machines

Coin sorters and counters

ATMs

Cummins Allison needs to collaborate with leading banks and casinos for counting and sorting

money.

Challenge

We created an iOS app that allows GEA’s field technicians to input all the information gathered

on dairy visits in order to create a detailed analytic report.

GEA Farm Technologies is a leading

manufacturer of integrated product solutions, animal-

hygiene products for dairies, manure technology, barn

equipment and automatic feeding systems.

Solution

The client’s field technicians needed an app that stored data when they made visits to different

dairies. The app also needed to work in offline mode and the data gathered would have to be

accessible to all other technicians whenever required.

Challenge

Gave users the ability to find the replacement of their existing hydraulic filter elements

using a smartphone.

The search is possible using either the full or partial model number.

The app gives the capability to contact the company or place an order.

Bosch Rexroth AG is one of the world’s leading

specialists in the field of drive and control technologies. Under

the Rexroth brand name, the company supplies more than

500,000 customers with its products.

Solution

Bosch Rexroth’s aim was to give its customers the ability to cross reference and replace their

existing hydraulic filter elements with the corresponding Rexroth filters.
