With this thing, you could blog about the walkathon, while doing it... that would be kinda new
One of my customers has actually made one of these for his company. They use it when they have to count all the items in the warehouse (dunno what thats called in english, but I am sure there is a special word for it).
They just put this on one of the ladies from the office and send her walking around the warehouse with 10 to 15 people counting the stock and reporting to her as she arrives at the pallet-slot.
Before this it took them almost 3 days to do it, because the lady from the office that can use the software properly cant use the forklift or move some of the heavy parts around to count them (or she doesn't get paid to do it) and the workers that normally work the warehouse are not the most computer-savvy folks on the face of the earth, so they would have to go count a couple of slots and then report to the office with the numbers.
This often caused things to be recorded at the wrongs slots because of mix-ups.
Today they use less then 9 hours.
Maybe I should send him an email so he can buy one.
But it does look silly... The first time I saw it, I was being show round by the manager and the second the office-lady saw me, she took of the "device", placed it on the floor and walked away blushing
It was bad enough with her co-workers around, but some stranger, that was too much.
It was so hard not to laugh
