Wifi Barcode scanning -- need middle ware help

2 New Member
Hello everyone

I have to impliment a new barcode system in a warehouse. Meaning i have to replace pre-existing sacnners and the middleware that feeds into a SQL database.

The Wifi coverage within the warehouse, is not a problem. The warehouse uses High Gain antennas at 2.4GHz on the 802.11b standard from a number of Acess Points. These AP's operate on a Ethernet based network with TCP/IP as the communication standard

The scanner that is being used at the moment is a Handheld 802.11b complient scanner. The string collected feeds into a RF simlicity software with a VB add-on , with custom coding used to send the string collected to a SQL database Via ODBC.

I want to replicate te same process but with new hardware and software.I really need direction in terms of, what i should be looking for on the mobile wifi scanner side of things. And what possible software options i can have as middleware to provide that ODBC connectivity. If anyone has any suggestions i'm all ears

My clients want their employees to log in by scanning a barcode on their passes. I've set up a web page with a text box to capture the scanned barcode. Two questions. 1. Can anyone think of a neat way to authenticate the scanned barcode without any further user action? The barcodes I'm using to play with the system are the ones on my CDs which have an embedded CR, which nicely press the default ASP button, but I may not be able to...

Hi, I am in the design phase of building a database that will track the productivity of my warehouse. I am thinking of using a barcode scanner to assist me with this. Employees will hopefully be scanning a barcode which will communicate to the computer that the employee did some type of task. Employees will be identified by ID badges which will contain string data to identify them and hopefully log them in. Is this a good way to keep...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
