Handheld Wireless Maintenance Work Order Application
MTA - Long Island Rail Road


Description

Bowne developed a handheld wireless application for use by the Maintenance of Equipment (MofE) Department to conduct maintenance work orders on the LIRR Rail Fleet. This application allows MofE to service the entire fleet along the Right of Way, minimizing key strokes with the use of two-dimensional bar-coding technology. The database design enables real-time access to the existing Rolling Stock Maintenance System (RSMS) through a wireless local area network and Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD), providing the department with up-to-the-minute data access.
