mWorkerNet3

mWorkerNet3 (from Supply and Service Inc.) is a mobile application developed on Microsoft Pocket-PC based technologies for asset maintenance at point of performance. It eliminates paper forms and duplicate data entry from the initial work request through the work order life cycle and streamlines assignment of work to strategic asset managers like technicians, workers etc. in the field anywhere, anytime. Workers can view, perform their assigned work using Pocket PC and transmit results via a wireless or network connection. The application integrates with MAXIMO 5, an advanced enterprise asset management software and Softwrench.

It includes the following modules:

Workorders: It allows technicians to receive, complete and send work orders from the field. In addition Workorder includes labor, material and new workorder sub modules

a) Labour module captures the resources and effort details spent on a particular job.
b) Materials helps record data on the material used for the job.
c) New workorders is designed to generate additional work orders on the field that can be taken up immediately or schduled for other technicians.

The application connects to Oracle database at the backend using ViaXML. The solution uses this layer to communicate between the Pocket PC application and the Oracle 9i DB. ViaXML solution uses database scripts written as a XML document that gets executed at the server end through a series of business logic functions encapsulated in a ASP script that acts as a gateway page. This makes the update process much faster.

Technology
embedded Visual Basic and embedded Visual C as the scripting language. SQL Server CE 2.0 as the Pocket PC database. ViaXML server and Oracle 9i as the backend database.
