Highlights:
Custom software solutions for Magic Cap communicators.
Background:
Formed in 1993, AllPen Software provides a full range of system integration and software development services for vertical markets. The company develops Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and Personal Internet Communicator (PIC) based software for Fortune 500 firms.
AllPen has developed software solutions for wireless LAN and WAN applications, Internet connectivity, bar-code and inventory management, and Global Positioning System (GPS) interfacing. The engineering and project teams at AllPen have extensive Magic Cap experience.
"We at AllPen are excited about the opportunities that Magic Cap communicators bring to the corporate vertical marketplace. Using the features of Magic Cap communicators, our solutions allow users to connect with a variety of devices and back-end systems for information management," said Wayne Yurtin, co-founder of AllPen Software.
AllPen has developed several applications for the Magic Cap platform, including software for bar-code applications. The company was a key developer for a Magic Cap-based traveler information project for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
Application:
AllPen's Barcode Solutions fully integrates a compact bar-code and scanner with Magic Cap, to complement its mobility and communication capabilities. The company has interfaced Magic Cap communicators to both lightweight pen wands and hand-held scanner guns. The pens are suitable for easily reached areas such as retail shelving, while the scanner gun is an ideal match for warehouses with hard to reach bar-coded products.
"Magic Cap communicators with bar-code capabilities are useful anywhere bar-code input is needed -- retail shop floors, outside plant inventory, point of sale, and medical facilities are just some of the areas where these solutions may be deployed," said Yurtin. Using standard features of Magic Cap such as coupons and tools, users can customize fields, set-up pre-defined default values, and build pop-up menus for data entry, eliminating the need for key pad input.
AllPen Software, in conjunction with Fasline of San Francisco, was selected as a key developer for a Magic-Cap based project for the Atlanta Olympic Games. Part of a $140 million traffic-control system based on fiber optics, the application provides Envoy Personal Communicator from Motorola with information on traffic updates, Olympic event updates, and Atlanta area information such as local restaurants, public transportation, etc.
Benefits:
"AllPen's seamless integration with Magic Cap communication technology provides virtually transparent integration to back-end systems. Whether you are in the process of creating a new environment with mobile clients, or integrating Magic Cap communicators into your corporate Intranet-based servers, transferring your data to a larger database is a snap," said Yurtin.
