Hi Satya!
It seems that you know exactly what I want. And yes I have already
thought of building some h/w and embedding my own algo from scratch
but I will not be that much feasible because:
1) We need much time for its R&D and then testing.
2) The client may not be interested in our product, because there are
already much renowned manufacturers.
So, I thought to go for some already established product and I
came up with this name: http://www.starlinkindia.com/ , but again
since the SDK depends on the vendor so we have to suggest to the
client to buy the product from this vendor but its far better solution
than going for R&D.
I will be reading their docs but I am not sure why they have
their SDK in .Net or VB. Since in my embedded training I learnt to
code in C. Anyway I am not into the embedded any more so this may be
possible but I will confirm from them one more time.
My basic aim is to:
1) Read the employee code, in-time and out-time from the machine.
2) Feed that data into my ERP database.
3) I will be doing the above two things by reading the O/P from the
machine by my python module and then by using the xml-rpc web-services
I will feed the data in my ERP system
The later portion is quite easy for me but I am worried about the
first half. I don't know from where to start.
