What Can I Do With the REDFLY Mobile Dock?
Be Productive
Type twice as fast with fewer errors using any USB keyboard. Keep your ruggedized device or smartphone with you at all times then use the REDFLY Mobile Dock when needed to enter data, complete forms, or type long messages right away instead of waiting until you get back to a PC or the office at the end of the day.
Securely Share One or More Docks With Multiple Users
Since the REDFLY Mobile Dock has no OS, CPU or memory, it stores no data, preferences or settings. Simply deploy one or more REDFLY-enabled workstations in strategic locations for employees use when a larger screen and keyboard can help complete a given task.
Work Your Way
When you need a larger keyboard and screen, REDFLY no-boot technology allows you to seamlessly switch between your phone and REDFLY without missing a beat in less than five seconds. Start a task on your ruggedized device or smartphone, then switch to REDFLY-enabled workstation anytime to finish typing without needing to start over.
Save Money
The REDFLY Mobile Dock offers a low acquisition cost, minimal set up, and no ongoing IT or maintenance costs translating to a much lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared PC workstations. If your mobile workforce uses a line-of-business application allowing them to complete most or all of their day-to-day work on their smartphones, a REDFLY-enabled workstations solution in fleet vehicles, the office or the warehouse can dramatically increase productivity, reduce strain and improve employee morale without the high TCO of deploying PCs.
REDFLY Mobile Dock Uses
Public Service and Field Service
While ruggedized handheld PDAs and smartphones provide law enforcement officers, first responders, field service, delivery service, or on-site technicians reliable mobile access to fully functional line-of-business applications, the small (or sometimes non-existent) physical keyboards on these devices hinder productive and comfortable data entry. An in-vehicle REDFLY Mobile Dock solution gives users the incentive and ability to quickly complete tasks, close a ticket, order parts, fill out forms, etc. on-site and at the time of service instead of delaying action until the end of the day or when they are back in the office.
Example Use Case:
An on-site electrician uses a PDA/smartphone to access a line-of-business application, SMS and email both in and out of a vehicle. When inside the vehicle, he or she connects to a REDFLY Mobile Dock-enabled workstation with an in-dash mounted display and large keyboard to quickly and comfortably order parts, close out a job ticket and view information about his or her next job location.
Warehouse and Factory
Ruggedized handheld PDAs and smartphones provide instant access to line-of-business and communication applications to users anywhere inside of a factory or warehouse for use throughout the day. However, the small (or sometimes non-existent) physical keyboards on these devices hinder productive, accurate and comfortable data entry when completing reports or performing periodic complex tasks. Providing one or multiple REDFLY Mobile Dock workstation(s) strategically located in key areas gives users the incentive and ability to quickly complete tasks, file a report, log jobs, fill out forms, etc. and be more productive during those times when data entry needs to be highly accurate or large amounts of data need to be entered. And, since no data or settings are stored on the REDFLY Mobile Dock, multiple users can easily share one workstation while maintaining personal settings and preferences.
Example Use Case:
A factory floor manager uses a PDA/smartphone throughout the day to log data. When a report needs to be filed or a complex form completed, he or she connects to one of multiple REDFLY Mobile Dock-enabled workstations throughout the facility to quickly complete the task using a large monitor, full-size keyboard and mouse.
Healthcare
Many Patient Care and Practice Management software suites offer robust smartphone versions of applications giving healthcare professionals all or most of the tools needed to enter and discover data in the palms of their hands. However, the smaller displays and keyboards on users' smartphones do not allow for comfortable or extended use. The REDFLY Mobile Dock allows users to take the same smartphone from room to room, utilize the mobile component of their software suite then connect to a REDFLY-enabled workstation whenever needed to complete complex tasks.
Example Use Case:
A physician takes his or her smartphone from one exam room to another connecting to low-cost REDFLY Mobile Dock-enabled workstations using a large monitor, full-size keyboard and mouse to enter point-of-care data, complete patient encounter forms, write prescriptions, or view electronic medical records.
Retail and Point-of-Sale
Customer service representatives, retail clerks, and stockroom employees can better serve the customer with a handheld device on their person at all times. A REDFLY-enabled workstation provides a productive and efficient docking station for extended periods of data entry or viewing large documents.
Example Use Case:
A retail clerk uses a PDA/smartphone to look up pricing data and inventory for customers in multiple locations throughout the store then connects to a REDFLY Mobile Dock-enabled workstation using a large monitor, full-size keyboard and mouse to complete a sale.
General Business
The REDFLY Mobile Dock is the easiest way to get real work done on your smartphone when access to your PC is impractical or not possible. One REDFLY Mobile Dock in a conference room or workstation can be easily shared by all smartphone users to give presentations or get a quick productivity boost on email or data entry heavy applications thanks to the REDFLY Mobile Dock�s ability to give smartphone users access to full-size keyboards and larger displays.
Example Use Case:
A business keeps a REDFLY Mobile Dock connected to a projector in each conference room. Employees keep presentations on their smartphones then connect to any conference room REDFLY Mobile Dock as needed to display presentation.
