These workers rely on mobile devices to do their jobs, and cannot afford to risk lost productivity.
In addition, remote data collection, synchronization, and processing directly impact the effectiveness of any business.
As a fundamental tool for solving these problems, database technology has become part of the foundation for embedded and mobile application development.
ITTIA Database brings industry-standard systems for data management to embedded applications with a lightweight framework that can be used as a stand-alone library or in combination with ITTIA's mobile data server.
ITTIA Database provides true ACID-compliant transaction support, enabling application developers to easily build robust, reliable applications using modern development techniques.
Reliable software demands dependable hardware.
Targeting manufacturing, warehouses, and outdoor work sites, Roper Mobile Technology builds rugged mobile computers that are designed to withstand abuse and harsh weather.
Roper Mobile's DAP line of Windows CE-based handhelds are built to meet military specifications for extreme temperatures, shock, vibration and moisture.
They are also powerful enough to run a wide variety of software, including applications developed with ITTIA Database.
The research and development team at ITTIA has rigorously tested database-driven applications running on DAP hardware.
Information collected on the device is stored in a database, and the user interface is driven by configuration parameters in the database.
Data is safely shared between multiple threads and applications running on the device.
Thanks to ITTIA Database's cross-platform architecture, data can be accessed over the network by applications running on other supported platforms such as Windows, Linux and others.
Reliability, ease of development, and exceptional computing power make DAP handheld computers and ITTIA Database a proven combination that reduce total cost of ownership.
"Because applications developed for embedded systems and handheld devices frequently run for long periods of time, and interact with the network and other devices, they are vulnerable to loss of data.
As a result, companies are demanding technologies that address these vulnerabilities.
Confirming our software offering on Roper Mobile's DAP computers supports our customers who require handheld devices with rich capabilities," said Sasan Montaseri, ITTIA president.
