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.
