Syclo is an established leader in delivering mobile applications that extend enterprise asset maintenance (EAM) systems to mobile and handheld devices, enabling workers to access and update relevant data while at remote locations. As companies look to eliminate downtime, increase productivity and lower costs, mobile technology is the proven solution that helps companies better maintain critical assets and serve as a valuable information tool for skilled technicians.

Syclo’s Agentry mobile platform, the basis for all of its products, enables organizations to build out their mobile programs using the same platform. Recognized as best-in-class middleware, Agentry can be used to rapidly deploy custom mobile applications that work in and out of wireless coverage, run on multiple handheld devices and support the latest in device peripherals, including RFID, GPS, GIS and more.

Creating the ideal solution is key as organizations have different requirements of mobile technologies. Symbol offers a diverse selection of mobile computing devices, which Syclo supports under its Agentry platform. For example, plant floor workers may require a ruggedized handheld, while managers may opt for a less rugged and more streamlined device. With Symbol’s wide variety of product offerings, customers can be assured of finding a perfect match for their deployments.
