June 2021 App Competition [Device Connected to Tulip]

At Laerdal Medical, Stavanger factory, we have with great success connected ProGlove scanners to Tulip.
It is beeing used in the warehouse in the picking process.

To be able to use it in logic as a device input we went for the combination of scanner and gateway.
So the gateway is the part that is added as a device in Tulip by VID and PID. The scanner only communicate with the gateway. The gateway is connected to a MS Surface tablet and communicates and get powered via USB.

ProGlove scanners are literally “handy” devices.
It is a wireless scanner that you wear as glove.
It is also pretty straight forward to do scanner configuration via Proglove insight online tool.

ProGlove also have a version having an e-ink display. In the future I hope we can use it to display picking details so the operator will be less depended of the Tulip display in the actual picking process.
