Leading Truckload Carrier Makes In-Cab Solution More Powerful, Functional, Usable

View SummaryView Summary  Go to full case studyGo to full case study

U.S. Xpress is a Tennessee-based truckload carrier with a reputation for delivering excellent customer service and using innovative technology to do so. In the mid-2000s, the company deployed an in-cab solution that automates engine diagnostics and provides communication, navigation, and training-video presentation capabilities. The solution was so successful that U.S. Xpress decided to expand its effectiveness by redesigning the user interface using Windows® Presentation Foundation (WPF) and other rich-client technologies from Microsoft. Having deployed the new version of its solution to roughly half of its 4,600-truck fleet, the company anticipates that the enhancements will help it boost the productivity of key employees, retain skilled drivers in this high-turnover industry, enhance safety management, and significantly reduce IT costs.

Manufacturer Chooses Embedded Operating System for Rugged Next-Generation Device

View SummaryView Summary  Go to full case studyGo to full case study

Based in Germany, manufacturer ads-tec wanted to replace its rugged Tablet device with a next-generation networked indestructible product suitable for all weathers. After a two-year evaluation from 40,000 users of its previous device, ads-tec worked with Microsoft® Authorised Embedded Distributor and Windows® Embedded Partner Elbacom and developed its TT13 Tablet using Windows Vista® Ultimate for Embedded Systems. The choice of operating system resulted from consultation with dozens of users at industrial fairs. They compared a Tablet device running Windows Vista Embedded with a similar product on Linux software. Windows Vista was rated more user friendly than Linux by a users’ test group and ads-tec developers. Due to ongoing support from Elbacom, ads-tec enjoyed fast time to market with its new device, which is also available with Windows® XP Professional for Embedded Systems.
