TekPAC (Technical Electronic Knowledge Personal Assistant Capsule)

At present, data access technology for engineers and technicians is less dynamic and more static, and it can be difficult to obtain readily available information for just in time maintenance and communication, or to use technical schematics, photos and videos to capture expert knowledge in a mobile environment. A mobile tool was needed to provide best known method (BKM) information at the exact time of need without having to spend extra time searching for or locating the information. The Technical Electronic Knowledge Personal Assistant Capsule (TekPAC) interface for the Pocket PC is a device that: provides access to readily available electronic information; allows the user to perform tasks at locations with all schematics, photos, videos and BKMs readily available; integrates key interventions to raise performance of target audience; and provides an input and output module for knowledge capture.
