Barcode Reader Integration with LN

unknown

Hi All,

 

I want to understand the different technical design options for integrating bar code reader with LN. I may think of following options from my end:

 

1. Write data in a file from bar code and process the same in LN in an asynchronous manner

2. Write data in a database table from bar code and process the same in LN in an asynchronous manner

3. Create xml file from barcode and integrate the same with LN through ION (I believe this would also be in an asynchronous way, correct?)

4. Create a direct link between barcode reader and LN so that data flow in real time in a synchronous manner (What I mean by synchronous manner is to be able to send return message or data back to user's barcode reader itself in certain scenarios (Such as incorrect input data or additional information etc).

 

Do you feel I missed any option? Also, can you please provide some input on point # 3 & 4 in terms of pros and cons of the same? Also, how could we achieve technically point # 4? Any thought on the same?

 

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
