Digital pens
What is Juniper Innovations’ digital pen solution?
Juniper Innovations’ digital pen solutions allows you to fill out boxes on a pre-printed form or notepad book using a normal pen and paper, then electronically send the data back to your computer system.
You receive electronic data in minutes alongside a web based and pdf copy of the form. Using our custom software products information can be easily integrated into any of your existing software or our tracking and warehouse management system products. Alternatively Juniper Innovations can build products and solutions around your organisation keeping you in control.
Ideal for mobile and lone workers, office and project managers, customer delivery personnel, anyone carrying out inspections and audits of any kind from HGV vehicle and fork lift truck to site health and safety, risk assessments or employee training and assessment. The solution can also copy drawings e.g. surveying, fault finding and engineering.
Any forms or notes can be instantly emailed too improving your workforce productivity.
Plus the digital pen can reads bar codes for inventory data capture. This is a time saver when delivering product or auditing hardware, or site equipment.
How does it work?
The digital pen writes in normal ink onto normal paper or note books pre-printed with an Anoto dot pattern. A force sensor in the pen nib activates a tiny infra red camera. This takes 120 photos a second recording the pen position, what it writes or draws, the time of each pen stroke and the paper it was written on.
By ticking a box on the paper the pen transmits data either via blue tooth to a mobile phone or PDA which in turn send the data to our partner’s servers. Data can be instantly then sent to your PC.
Note that for smaller business or individual applications data can be sent immediately from your pen to your PC via a docking station.
Your PC receives data plus a graphical image of the file.

What are the benefits of Juniper Innovations’ digital pens?
Security
For mobile workers digital pens are more discrete, lower value and have lower resale value than notebooks and tablet computers and therefore risk of theft is less. Data security is ensured with encryption, secure buildings and mirrored servers.
Intelligent information
With real time job data you can see what work was completed, by whom, when and for how long. This is useful for training records, showing duty of care and “negligence” avoidance and also demonstrating customer service. With a digital pen, tracking products, our custom software products and our handset and PDA solution we can capture GPS information and photos showing when and where signatures and data was captured. All this information can be integrated into your existing software solutions. This gives you greater control of your business, invoice faster, manage costs more efficiently and get higher asset returns.
