Industrial Strength Droid

The telecommunications industry has risen to become the modern era’s most crucial necessity. The world is now dependent on these means of global telecommunication, often taken for granted by many. Unfortunately, technicians often must undergo the burdensome task of locating sites of faulty equipment in order to keep our phone system functional. To facilitate the complex tasks of the technicians, we have designed and prototyped an industry grade Android application that simplifies all of their duties into a single compact portable device. The application can replace expensive barcode scanning equipment by utilizing the phone’s built-in-camera. With access to the Ericsson servers, the application is also able to provide information from the company’s location and equipment database within milliseconds, in comparison to the extended time spent searching through the thousands of pages of printed material.
