The other week I went on a cruise down in the Caribbean (which I bragged about in my past 2 cruise blogs, discussing mobile solutions for the cruise’s bar service and mobile stores). The cruise was perfect, I have no complaints… well, except for one. That dreaded line we had to wait in to get…
The other day I wrote a blog on how cruise ships can improve their bar service operations with a mobile computer. Well, in my opinion, the bar service isn’t the only place on the ship that could benefit from a mobile computer – the on-ship stores can as well. While the stores showcased the products…
I just got home from a cruise last weekend – it was my first one, and it definitely won’t be my last. We departed from Fort Lauderdale and went on a Caribbean adventure, stopping in the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. Cruise ships carry thousands of people looking to enjoy their vacation, buy some…
As economies adjust to ever-rising demand for and costs of energy, an increasing range of enterprises are focusing on intelligent-building strategies. Globally, commercial buildings currently consume just fewer than 25 percent of all electricity production, making intelligent, automated management of those resources critical not only to enterprise efficiency, but also to global energy-allocation challenges.

While students at Drexel University, Woodland and Bernard Silver overheard a grocery-industry executive ask one of the university’s school of engineering deans about options for gathering inventory data during the checkout process. Woodland, who had worked on the Manhattan Project and who had previously earned a degree in mechanical engineering, was so captured by the…
Last week, I was thinking a lot about Advantech’s recently introduced iDoor Technology…so much, in fact, that it was on my mind as I went to the grocery store. While at the store, I went through the salad bar and it dawned on me. The concept of iDoor Technology is similar to that of a…
Last week I went to a fancy Italian restaurant with my family after work. Frequently surrounded by barcode scanners and mobile computers, I thought I was done seeing data collection devices when I left the office – but boy was I wrong. Walking into the restaurant (a bit earlier than the rest of my party,…
Honeywell, one of our premier partners, just recently surveyed 260 organizations worldwide, looking to gather information on how they manage and assess their field service processes. Being the data-nut that I am, I’m always looking for the numbers to validate the facts – and these numbers look pretty noteworthy to me. But don’t bother reading…
Zebra Technologies’ recent white paper, The Factory of the Future: A Practical Guide to Harnessing New Value in Manufacturing, is, as its title suggests, a practical guide, and focuses on deploying automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) systems to eliminate waste in manufacturing supply chains. The paper introduces its topic by citing IDC Manufacturing Insight’s…
