Industry Solutions: Control Systems

To maximize efficiencies, today's manufacturing plants are becoming more automated to ensure precise quality control through all stages of production.

With a Tegatech Australia mobile solution, warehouse and manufacturing staff can assess key milestones while tracking all stages of production from anywhere on the production floor – without having to go back to an office to re-enter data and findings.

To increase productivity and reduce errors, many warehouses now utilize menu-driven applications using a touchscreen to regulate standards and benchmarks. If handwritten notes are used to gauge progresses, then "jotting" notes on a Slate Tablet PC or a UMPC provides a constructive manner for keeping continuous archive of progress. Either way, the information can be transmitted to a centralized data management via wireless servers to eliminate duplicate efforts and keep everyone on the production floor current and connected.

Industry Solutions: Education

As today's teachers incorporate Tablet PCs and UMPCs into the lesson plans, they are promoting an exciting learning experience that encourages efficiency and enables stronger classroom interaction.

Tegatech Australia Tablet PCs and UMPCs help teachers develop a more flexible "mobile teaching" style as well as create higher impact "real-time" presentations. Using a wireless connection, teachers can easily distribute electronic content, assign electronic reference materials and video clips and answer individual questions for increased efficiency.

For students, a Tegatech Australia Sahara Slate PC® Tablet PC or eo™ UMPC provides a compact and lightweight educational tool for taking notes in digital ink, reading e-books, completing assignments, watching presentations and communicating with other students.

Industry Solutions: Government

For government field work, a Tegatech Australia Sahara Slate PC® Tablet PC or eo™ UMPC is the ideal tool to maximize agent efficiency and increase productivity levels for mobile users. Using handwriting input or touch screen, menu driven applications, government workers can maintain a constant electronic record of case file information, access critical information, and automate forms, contracts and processes from anywhere in the field or the office.
