When it comes to viewing work-related information on tablet PCs, the
evidence is clear that engineers see the tablet PC as a potentially
useful tool. But what about actually using it for work? Several
applications include:

Accessing automated work order systems on a tablet PC so that operators can scan a machine to access bills of material for an order in process, or access maintenance procedures for a particular piece of equipment.
Have the tablet PC function as a portable human machine interface to operate terminal services applications at multiple machines throughout a facility.
