It would be a resounding success if 6 to 10 more people decided to come and we can open another track of topics.
Paul’s sessions, in brief:
Session 1: Real GPS tracking in your js-client apps
<small>Enhancing js-client apps with always active background processes</small>Omnis Studio js-client provides powerful device-level features through the Device Control interface. This includes access to GPS data. However, the js-client has a major limitation: the app must remain in the foreground for these features to work. Once the user switches apps or the device goes to sleep, GPS tracking stops.In various real-world applications such as transportation, logistics, and field services; continuous background location tracking is crucial. Native apps excel in handling tasks like job dispatching, geofencing timeclock-ins, and enforcing rest periods, outperforming js-client alone.
Paul will show you how you can add any native ‘always active’ background processes to your js-client app, using GPS tracking as an example.
Session 2: Integrating Omnis js-client with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
<small>Adding hands-free capabilities to your mobile application</small>Delivery and courier drivers often use their phones for job lists, navigation, and instructions while driving. However, screen size, interaction, and legal restrictions limit their use. In-vehicle systems like CarPlay and Android Auto enable drivers to access critical job information, maps, and workflow prompts directly on their car’s display, ensuring a safe and intuitive experience.Imagine a driver hopping into their vehicle, connecting their phone, and instantly seeing the next job, sales stop, or activity calendar, on the dashboard; complete with navigation, contact details, and custom needs without needing to handle the phone. Beyond being convenient, it is a significant safety upgrade or hand’s free legal requirement.
