Bluebird Soft, founded in 1995, is one of the world leading makers of mobile computers including handheld computers, enterprise PDAs and handheld barcode scanners. Bluebird Soft and its manufacturing facility are based in Seoul, South Korea and it operates branch offices in US and China. Operations in China are further supported through a partnership with IT giant Digital China (www.digitalchina.com<\/a>).<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Under the brand name of Pidion, Bluebird Soft provides a versatile product lineup, flexible customization and efficient support services. Its Pidion mobile computers are found worldwide in applications where powerful, reliable and robust devices are paramount, such as store management, law enforcement, inspection and facility maintenance.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In China, Pidion PDAs are used by Shanghai police (10,000 units) to handle traffic violations (taking photo of the offending vehicle and number plate, scanning of the ticket barcode, input of necessary data, direct synchronization with central database). Other major Chinese users include State Grid, Pepsi, China Eastern, China Southern and etc.<\/div>\n

Siveco\u2019s bluebee\u00ae<\/sup> mobile solutions are optimized for Bluebird\u2019s devices and take full advantage of all their features in order to bring the most convenience and the best ROI to field service teams. Siveco can assist customers in selecting the most suitable models and resell the PDAs as part of a turn-key contract. Whenever needed, hardware support is provided throughout the country by Bluebird partner Digital China.<\/div>\n

A closer look at the Pidion BIP-6000<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Pidion BIP-6000 model is often recommended for field service applications, for its durability and versatility. Key features and benefits are summarized below:<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ultimate form factor for real life work<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Users of Siveco\u2019s bluebee\u00ae<\/sup> solutions are field workers or plant technicians, not office workers: drops, knocks, greasy hands, low or high temperatures are daily occurrences in the real world! BIP-6000 allows working without any restraints in harsh work environment, based on US military standard MIL-STD-810.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It meets IP65 sealing requirements, withstands 12 drops at 1.8 m to steel surface and operates in a temperature range of -30 \u00b0C to 60 \u00b0C. In addition, the powerful 4,400mAh battery ensures continuous operation for a full day, a seemingly obvious feature which often proves to be a problem with professional PDAs.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outstanding ergonomics for bluebee\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Siveco\u2019s bluebee\u00ae <\/sup>mobile applications are designed to eliminate or at least limit the usage of the keyboard: instead, users interact with the system using large on-screen buttons, selecting data though pick-lists. This approach results in very intuitive user interfaces requiring little or no training.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The BIP-6000 large 3.5\u2019\u2019 VGA display gives visual and tactile enhancement. Moreover, the crack-resistant TouchWindow LCD supports substantial protection for the touch sensitive display. Additionally, numeric or QWERTY keypad with backlight enables easy and precise typing in any light level.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Flexible communication capability<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

BIP-6000 provides accurate and fast data capability for improving work efficiency and flexibility. HSPDA, WiFi and Bluetooth enable real-time communications between mobile workers and head office. This multimodal wireless networking ensures immediate data communication, regardless of whether your technicians are within reach of an in-house wireless network or outside in the field.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data communication is also available through the cradle (connected to a computer via a USB link) for example when the handheld is charging, during the night. Siveco\u2019s data synchronization platform<\/a> ensures optimal utilization of the available networks based on priorities (types of data) and cost.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unparalleled range of integrated options<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

While most PDAs available on the market offer only a limited options, BIP-6000 provides a wide range of possibilities depending on each customer\u2019s needs. Integrated RFID reader and 1D\/2D barcode scanner enables versatile data capture in a single device: assets, inspection points, work instructions can be immediately identified.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moreover the 3.0 megapixel autofocus camera with flash supports snapping shaper images from a short distance and under dim light. The integrated GPS allows tracking user position, localization of assets and reports, and streamlining inspection routes.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
As the Chinese facility management and infrastructure market modernized at fast pace, Bluebird Soft and their partner Digital China remain strongly committed to support Siveco and its customers for the design, implementation and deployment of innovative large-scale field service solutions in China.<\/div>\n
