T.D. Williamson Selects MobileFrame’s Mobile Application Platform to Track their Assets Worldwide
Los Gatos, CA (October 22, 2012) – MobileFrame LLC, provider of the only cross-device mobile application development platform that requires no custom coding to create custom enterprise mobile apps, announces that T.D. Williamson (TDW) has chosen to standardize on MobileFrame for their mobile applications across the company.
TDW keeps onshore and offshore pipelines operating safely and flowing freely. As the world’s leading pipeline equipment and services provider, TDW designs, manufactures, and maintains oil field machinery and systems including pipeline pigging (scraping), gas leak detection, pipeline inspection, plugging, tapping, valve and clamp, and cathodic protection equipment. The company also offers general pipeline, training, turnkey, and repair services.
T.D. Williamson wanted a mobile application platform that would not require them to become an expert Windows Mobile development shop. MobileFrame’s solution made the purchase decision an easy one because everything needed for a successful mobile app deployment is built-in, including Remote Device Management, the Integration Wizard, the Screen Designer and the Project Deployment Manager.
The company’s first priority was a mobile asset tracking application using RFID technology. TDW has assets located in 10 locations around the world, so selecting a software provider that could scale in size was very important. The company selected Intermec CK3 handheld computers along with the Intermec IP30 RFID Readers, which both integrate seamlessly with the MobileFrame software. They plan to track all corporate assets, but one device they were particularly interested in tracking provides accurate detection and sizing of internal and external metal loss and other ferrous anomalies. Because these devices are very expensive, they needed to have real-time, accurate data about where the devices are at all times. The devices are installed at oil wells and pipelines, so assigning a job site to each one was the first step in the project. As the devices come back in from the field they inspect each one for quality control purposes, so they also needed an inspection app.
Asset Tracking and Inspection apps are just the beginning of a long list of apps that MobileFrame’s single solution will be used to deliver across the company. T.D. Williamson can use the platform to deploy any app with any requirement for any department, all with no coding.
“MobileFrame’s platform is a great fit for an organization like T.D. Williamson that needs a variety of fully-integrated mobile applications in a short time frame and with minimal interruption of their ongoing business. Our platform allows TDW to quickly develop and deploy any mobile app they desire and provides all the administrative features necessary to successfully manage their projects”.
