Problem:

  • Handheld terminals hold minimal data.

  • DOS interface not intuitive.

  • Users dissatisfied with collection interface.

  • Terminals are "single purpose".

  • "lookup data" capacity unacceptable.

Solution:

Hayton Systems pocket ATraQ puts the power of sophisticated database computing in the palm of your hand. A rugged-ized handheld terminal such as the Symbol SPT 1700 offers a robust, rock solid operating platform with plenty of horsepower and ample storage capacity. The laser scanning element is integrated, the form factor comfortable and the user interface ... wow! Drop down menus, auto-fill functions, live Queries and immediate access to every interface to name just a few features.

pocket ATraQ features a familiar Windows-like interface that will have even your fussiest users smiling. Easy data input, whether through the top quality scanning element or entered directly using easy to learn graffiti  (you write on the lower portion of the screen with a special stylus). On-board validation tightens data quality.

All this is powered by the PALM or Windows CE operating system. The device you select is capable of running any additional software for the platform you choose. So not only can you perform data collection, you can also integrate messaging, account management, calculators and additional industrial software with your solution.

Problem:

  • Batch data from hand held devices contains errors.

  • Legacy barcodes use superceded values.

  • Validation of Parts/Location values required.

  • Collection device data structure needs modification before submission to server.

  • Collection device Query structure restrictive.

  • Manage data collection batches by Work Order

Solution:

ATraQ PC is 32 bit desktop software for Windows platforms. It's intended niche is as middle tier audit software. Upload your hand held device to a laptop in the field and review the proceeds of your data collection before sending it up to the server.

The Q in ATraQ is for Query! Among other facilities, we provide an intuitive Query-By-Example (QBE) interface which allows bulk update modifications to your data. This may be useful for fixing errors, matching barcode label values to newly established standards, stripping redundant data identifiers - you name it.

Work in highly productive Grid mode, or narrow the view to Detail mode to see only a single record at a time. You can swap views at any time. Both views incorporate context intelligent drop down lists to enhance work flow. Color highlighting indicate status, incompletion and error conditions.

Resource tables track valid Location values and Part numbers. The Assistants menu contains a number of pre-fab queries which we custom craft for you. These are established after analysis of data structure, and in consultation with each customer - in short, tailored to your needs.

ReQuest is on the leading edge of the next wave of custom database software. We work with your implementation team to develop a query interface that matches and extends your legacy system. Each iteration of ReQuest is carefully targeted to meet your requirements, building upon successful, tested templates. Behind ReQuest’s simple exterior is a wealth of supporting code. ReQuest uses SQL, VBScriptTM and ASP (Active Server Pages), a technology built into Microsoft’s IISTM (Internet Information Server) in later versions of NT Server.
