Mobile Applications

Mobile Technology
Modern computing continues to develop in two key ways
• Processing power increases
• Size decreases
This has brought about the handheld computer and these days, these products are sophisticated enough to enable business system transactions to occur in a truly mobile environment.

Our products
Mobile Stores
Mobile Stores is a windows mobile software solution that provides a roaming user the cabability to perform inventory transactions within an engineering store. It is designed for the LXE MX6 handheld device working in a wireless network environment and provides real-time updating of stores transactions to a Maximo 4.11 database. This software can also be adapted to suit other Maintenance Systems.

Mobile Defect Management
In a facility where there is a lot of small defect repair work being conducted – a maintenance system that focuses on the management of maintenance resources can often become cluttered by the measurement of defect related data. This is a handheld solution that records defects, causes and actions for specific equipment and allows facility-wide and organisation-wide analysis of these defects.
Covaris PrinciplesOur software designs are based on the following principles:
• It should always be easy to gather accurate data
