Hi. I have lot experience integrating data from devices into customers database.
I have developed interfaces to and from: Automatic Teller Machines (ATM), Weigh Balances, Incognto provisioning systems, data logger via rs232, USB, Parallel Port, Security alarms, analogic PBX, etc.
I have lot experience decoding or interpreting the diferent procotols every device uses to comunicate. If there is not documentation available, I use a decoding aproach via sniffing the media or channel, or using "use cases".
Please let me know what type of device you got.
Let's start asap if you think I'm the Software developer and integrator for this job.
If you have any questions, fell free to ask.
The timing and my bid could be reduced or aumented in function of your specs.
Also, we can work together defining the scope and requirements.
Regards,
First I will made a middleware. This middleware is resposible to talk with the hardware. Also, this middleware interact with your core system sending data captured, and updating any data or event to the hardware.
With this approach, we will have a clear software abstraction and a standar two to three layer that models the actual schema.
Let's talk about your needs.
Hope to here you soon.
Regards,
Monillo
