Enterprise mobility means different things to different companies.

  • At Mold-Rite Plastics, wireless equals paperless.
  • At electronics manufacturer FCI, it’s about flexibility.
  • For third-party logistics provider Allen Lund Co., it’s about availability.
  • And at Siemens Water Technologies, mobility means money — saving it and making it.
  • All of these companies use different types of wireless infrastructures and applications to accomplish specific business initiatives, from monitoring work orders on the factory floor to taking new customer orders while on the road.

    But, for these companies and any manufacturer, there is one common theme: Enterprise mobility is a must-have, driven both by the need for speed in a highly competitive environment and by employees who expect to work and roam using their smart phones.
