Re: Broad band web sites

Smell the creativity.  I would want to create something that would not only
serve up content based on terminal type but job function as well.

An Intranet Application in a warehouse.  Main working terminals (net
appliances) could be used for checking stock, reorder, etc.

Here is the cool part, Wireless devices used by packers (human or robotic)
to read barcodes on Items that are picked from Inventory.  These wireless
devices could control things such as conveyor belts, lighting, internal
paging, etc.

As soon as an item is flagged for reorder, have system use UDDI to check
price and availibility across several suppliers and automatically reorder.

Don't get me started with web based automation control.
