Windows CE solutions
Mobile devices have invaded consumer market, but in
these last years they have been used on different
applications for both commercial and industrial purposes. This is because mobile devices have evolved: they have been enriched with many
functionalities, but above all they have been integrated with the most recent
communication technologies (mobile networks and WiFi). The convergence of these
technologies has made mobile devices very good tools to delocalize
informatic processes, assisting the user during his production activities.
codbit has a long story in developing applications for mobile
devices. In these years we have helped many companies developing mobile
solutions to manage orders, production activities, shipping and logistics.
Moreover we propose POS (Point of Sale) solutions for pubs, bars and
restaurants.
The platform choosen to realize our applications has always been
Microsoft Windows CE. Among available platforms for embedded devices, Microsoft
Windows CE stands out for ease of use, power and availability. Windows CE
is optimized for low processing capacity and memory devices, normally lacking
mass memory units (disks or flash memories). Nonetheless these devices allow the connection between different kind of networks (WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile networks) and
the use of barcode and RFID readers. Windows CE is the ideal platform for all
needs thanks to its modularity and ease of configuration.
With regard to applications' graphical interface, Windows CE
allows fully customizable user interfaces very similar to those already used
on Windows. Moreover, for industrial purposes above all, it's very interesting
the ability to masquerade or totally hide the operating system from the
user, disabling unauthorized operations to the operator and supplying the company
with a device fully dedicated to the chosen activities.
