•Case Study: Siemens Uses Dolphins To Read Meters
Automated wireless data capture technology is constantly changing. The latest handheld devices are far more powerful and more versatile than those produced just a few years ago. Many companies, such as Siemens Energy Services, are therefore upgrading their systems. Siemens has opted for a mobile enterprise solution from Codegate. This leverages Dolphin 9500 mobile computers, made by Hand Held Products and supplied by Codegate. The solution includes the hardware, bespoke software and maintenance.
SESL recently decided to replace its existing data capture devices. They were over ten years old and were becoming obsolete. They only supported dial-up communications and were using DOS operating systems. The units had a poor battery life and due to their age, had started to fail regularly. Project Manager, Pradeepan Periyannen, explains: "They no longer had the functionality our field staff needed so that we could satisfy our customers' demands."
In September 2004, the company started looking at alternatives. At the same time, SESL's Transformation Change Manager, Nigel Weeds, met Adam Dykman, Managing Director of Codegate, at the SME Exhibition held in Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre. Codegate specialises in end-to-end mobility solutions based on its Adaptive Technology, leading hardware and comprehensive professional services. It also provides a broad range of offthe- shelf software solutions.
