Using the application the users will be able to connect to the job tasks from a centrally managed database and will be updating it with their assigned tasks status. Client Requirement Project Challenges Team faced the following challenges: Developing an application on iPhone platform to be used by the company employees for scanning and managing their RFID tags for their job tasks. Using the application the users will be able to connect to the job tasks from a centrally managed database and will be updating it with their assigned tasks status. Integrating iCarte mobile SDK to scan RFID. Implementing UI of the application for different screens accordingly. Implementing and managing local DB as well as on server using sync feature. Capture/choose photo, video and audio and upload on server and also maintain audio to play on the web.

Ltd Page 3 of 3 Manpower Planning Keeping in mind the enormous structure of the application and the challenges involved a four-tier development approach was adopted consisting of: The Database layer containing SQLite Mobile Database and MYSQL Database. The Interface layer and Database Abstraction layer for converting data between incompatible type systems in databases and accessing data from the database respectively. The Business Logic layer consisting of all the business logic procedures for various modules. The User Interface layer which forms the Graphical User Interface of the iPhone application. Architecture The CheckPoint was built around Objective-C. Various modules were developed in Objective-C such that they can be executed directly from the UI layer. These Objective-C files consisted of all the business logics used for respective modules like Save (Add/Update), Delete, Get Single Object, Get Multiple Objects for Listing and were designed to be capable of handling many more logics which were not related to the database. In order to most effectively access the database in an object-oriented context, an interface translating the object logic to the relational logic was used to communicate with the relational databases in an object-oriented manner. An intermediary abstraction layer was created for accessing data from the database. The UI layer was kept free of any business logic with images, applications and data being called from their respective servers. Project Leader 1 Developers 4 Designers 2 Quality Assurance Testers 1
