Mobile Epiphany is Certifying Intermec Handheld Computers for Its Geospatially Intelligent Inspection Software

Aurora, CO, April 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Mobile Epiphany (www.mobileepiphany.com), the creators of the first-of-its-kind 100 percent finger-touch, geospatial asset inspection technology called Touch Inspect™, is actively working with Intermec™ to certify its CN4 and CN50 Mobile Computers, as fully compatible, finger-friendly touch screen computers for use with their next generation solutions. Once the certification process is completed successfully, Intermec™ will been awarded the status of “Mobile Epiphany Authorized Hardware” for the Touch Inspect solution portfolio.

The rigorous testing of Intermec’s GPS-enabled mobile computers, in conjunction with Mobile Epiphany’s Touch Inspect™ solution, is being done at iBeta’s quality assurance and hardware testing labs in Aurora, Colorado. Additional programming is being performed by Mobile Epiphany’s engineers on Intermec’s line of handheld computers to ensure that the advanced technology found in their devices, including GPS, barcode scanner, document imager, auto-focus camera and finger-friendly touch screens, will function effortlessly with Mobile Epiphany’s cutting edge geospatial inspection and data collection technology.

“Intermec’s mobile computers are fairly ubiquitous and well received by their customers across many industries” stated Glenn Kletzky, Mobile Epiphany’s CEO. “We know that their engineering is solid. So we fully expect to be able to complete the integration of their devices with our software in short order. We know that their existing customer base, which already achieves real ROI using their products, will become even more capable with integration of these two great technologies. And we believe that we can go deeper into these markets and others by working together”.

The Touch Inspect mobile application was designed to collect a variety of data types in the field using GPS which allows workers to map and search for assets by proximity as well as many other attributes. The touch-based interface uses color coding and simple iconography to navigate through custom inspection forms in a question and answer format. Using multimedia technology, users are also able to add detailed visual information (such as photos of assets) and use a range of drawing tools to highlight areas of concern, such as rust spots or other damage. The data can then be saved and accessed by future field workers who can call up the inspection history of any asset and view its previous inspections with geospatial and visual information in order to make more sophisticated field support decisions.

The application is customizable through a PC-based configuration tool that can be used by anyone with a basic Microsoft Office skill set. Without the need for programming or technical expertise, the configuration tool allows companies to more quickly adapt the workflow in their application to fit their specific needs. Data captured in the field is automatically transmitted to a company’s database (as well as other users’ devices) via the internet which makes it available for reporting without the need for manual data entry or uploads.

The Touch Inspect solution can be purchased monthly (Software as a Service) or hosted quarterly and currently runs on the Windows Mobile operating system found on the Intermec line of mobile computers. There is also a PC edition that runs on Windows 7, as well as Windows XP and Vista.
