Pocket PC and Palm Data Collection
Our customer develops and markets a vertical market application for tracking the purchase, storage, usage, etc. of chemicals, bioagents, radioisotopes, and other hazardous or controlled materials. An important aspect of assuring compliance is a program of regular inspections/audits of laboratories and storage facilities where these materials are stored, to verify that proper procedures are being followed.
Oasis Digital developed an application for the Pocket PC / Windows CE platform (HP/Compaq Ipaq devices, etc.) and a “sync server” used to move data between the handheld devices and their existing product, to enable our customer’s end users to load data on to their PDA about needed inspections and data points to gather, enter the results of performing the inspections, generate reports of the results, etc. The system supports both fully disconnected operation, and wireless connectivity.
Technologies: .NET Compact Framework
In a followup to the above project, we developed software for the PalmOS platform (Palm branded devices, HandSpring, Sony Clie, etc.) and a matching “conduit”, with the same functionality as the Pocket PC solution described above.
Technologies: Pocket Studio, PalmOS API, TurboSync
For both projects, Oasis Digital performed the initial development work to deliver a ready-to-stop module for our customer’s commercial product; we then worked with their in-house team to handover the project for ongoing development and support.
