Jewson – Warehouse Stock Control System
Warehouse guns with almost no memory and a part-time network
Project description
The warehouse guns were Windows CE 4.0, with almost no memory and a network that was there when it felt like it. Any design that asked the server for every price check would have stalled in the aisle, so the design had to assume the opposite.
We put a cut-down dataset on the device and a sync that pushed and pulled whenever the radio was up. Price check, replenishment, goods receipt, and labels all ran on the gun, the server sat in the warehouse, and the deadline was met without moving.
Subcontracted for Ten25 and Touchstone Software.
