This case study explores how a leading Water Purification and Delivery firm overcame challenges with its existing field devices used for outdoor deliveries and data capture. The client faced issues with their current devices, which lacked robust scanning capabilities and durability to withstand harsh weather conditions. To address these challenges, the client partnered with Aura Systems and we proposed:
Newland MT93
After careful consideration and testing, the client selected the Newland MT93 PDA to improve their field data capture operations. This case study delves into the problems faced by the client, the solutions presented, and the reasons behind their choice of the MT93 PDA.
