# TallyFlow Assets for Edge
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** New component (v0.1.0+1)
|
||||
**Primary Mobile App:** `tallyflow_mobile` remains the main TallyFlow Assets experience
|
||||
**Role:** Companion / specialized app for Edge remote reader workflows
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
TallyFlow Assets for Edge is a Flutter-based mobile and desktop application that submits barcode and RFID tag reads directly to the TallyFlow Edge service using the remote reader API.
|
||||
|
||||
It is designed for scenarios where tag data needs to be delivered to a local or on-premise TallyFlow Edge instance rather than going through the main TallyFlow Core mobile app.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Positioning
|
||||
|
||||
- **Complementary to `tallyflow_mobile`** — Not a replacement. `tallyflow_mobile` remains the primary app for general asset capture, enrollment, and mobile workflows.
|
||||
- **Edge-focused** — Optimized for pushing reads to the TallyFlow Edge remote reader endpoint.
|
||||
- **Hardware + Simulation** — Full hardware scanner support on Android; simulation mode on desktop for testing and demo purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Target Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Fixed or semi-fixed Edge reader workflows where a mobile device acts as a remote reader
|
||||
- Environments with local TallyFlow Edge deployments (on-prem or edge)
|
||||
- Testing and validation of remote reader configurations
|
||||
- Desktop-based simulation and automation of tag submissions during development or demos
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Hardware barcode and RFID scanning on Android (via `flutter_hardware_scanner`)
|
||||
- Camera barcode fallback using ML Kit
|
||||
- Barcode / RFID mode switching
|
||||
- Local scan list with send status and retry
|
||||
- Manual or automatic submission to TallyFlow Edge
|
||||
- Edge service health monitoring with offline banner
|
||||
- Desktop simulator with JSON tag group loading and automation
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Connects to TallyFlow Edge remote reader endpoints (`/reader/barcode` and `/reader/rfid`)
|
||||
- Requires configuration of Base URL, Remote Reader Name, and optional API key
|
||||
- Android builds require vendor AAR files for hardware scanner support
|
||||
- Desktop platforms always run in simulation mode
|
||||
|
||||
## Marketing Angle
|
||||
|
||||
- Positions TallyFlow as having flexible ingestion paths (mobile app + dedicated Edge remote reader app)
|
||||
- Supports both field mobility (`tallyflow_mobile`) and Edge integration scenarios
|
||||
- Simulation mode lowers the barrier for prospects and partners to test Edge connectivity without hardware
|
||||
|
||||
## Related Components
|
||||
|
||||
- `tallyflow-iot` (backend service; **product name: TallyFlow Edge**)
|
||||
- `tallyflow_mobile` (primary mobile app)
|
||||
- `flutter_hardware_scanner` (shared scanning library)
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps / Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- How is this app discovered / distributed to customers?
|
||||
- Is there overlap with existing remote reader support in `tallyflow_mobile`?
|
||||
- Should this app eventually be merged, or does it serve a permanently distinct workflow?

# TallyFlow Scout
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Active product (app v0.5.3+10 as of July 2026 review)
|
||||
**Repo:** `tallyflow-assets-iot` (package `tallyflow_scout`)
|
||||
**Pairs with:** **TallyFlow Edge** (repo `tallyflow-iot`)
|
||||
**Does not replace:** **TallyFlow Assets** (`tallyflow_mobile`) — the Core-connected mobile app for enrollment, inventory, zone moves, seek-and-find, and scan-and-print
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**TallyFlow Scout** is a Flutter handheld (and desktop demo) app for barcode and RFID work on the floor **with TallyFlow Edge**. Operators use three destinations:
|
||||
|
||||
| Section | What it does |
|
||||
|---------|----------------|
|
||||
| **Collect** | Scan barcode/RFID; submit reads to Edge as a **remote reader**, or **export CSV** when Edge is offline / not configured |
|
||||
| **Verify** | Scan a GS1 barcode, then RFID tags; show whether each EPC encodes the **same GS1 identity key** (SGTIN / SSCC / GRAI / GIAI interoperability). Optional auto-confirm countdown when all match |
|
||||
| **Locate** | Seek-and-find by EPC hex, GTIN/GS1, or Internal part number with RSSI / geiger feedback — **works fully offline** (no Edge required) |
|
||||
|
||||
Scout is the mobile companion for **Edge site deployments** (docks, tunnels, on-prem readers). It is **not** the full asset system of record app: enrollment, zones, Core sync, and scan-and-print remain **TallyFlow Assets**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Positioning (marketing truth)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Edge path, not Core path** — Scout talks to Edge remote-reader REST (`/api/v1/reader/barcode`, `/api/v1/reader/rfid`, `/health`). Assets talks to Core.
|
||||
- **Complementary** — Sell Scout with Edge for handheld collect / verify / locate at the reader edge. Sell Assets with Core for asset lifecycle and inventory programs.
|
||||
- **Offline-capable floor tool** — Collect list + CSV export + Locate work without a live Edge server; submit when online.
|
||||
- **Hardware-real** — Android industrial scanners via `flutter_hardware_scanner` (e.g. Janam XR2, ATID, SEUIC, URFID stacks); camera barcode fallback on phones; desktop always in simulator mode for demos.
|
||||
|
||||
## Target use cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Handheld remote reader into a multi-reader Edge site (same feed as fixed Impinj/Zebra readers)
|
||||
- GS1 barcode↔RFID **Verify** at encode/pack/ship (catch wrong EPC encoding before product leaves)
|
||||
- Offline **Locate** / seek-and-find on the floor without Core
|
||||
- CSV collect for demos, audits, or sites not yet wired to Edge submit
|
||||
- SI / partner demos with desktop simulator (JSON tag groups, optional automation)
|
||||
|
||||
## Core features (from product review)
|
||||
|
||||
- Material 3 shell: **Collect / Verify / Locate** bottom navigation
|
||||
- Collect: pending/sent/failed status, manual batch submit or auto-send, CSV share/save (including GS1 type-filter rollup mode)
|
||||
- Verify: lists all RFID tags (no EPC soft-filter hiding mismatches); Confirm / Reset actions; swipe to Locate or delete
|
||||
- Locate: EPC mask filters (GS1 / SDG RAIN / hex / part); power slider; geiger audio; handoff from Collect/Verify swipe
|
||||
- Internal `part_serial` RFID settings aligned with **TallyFlow Print** (group Collect by part; Locate by part)
|
||||
- Edge health banner; EN + ES localization
|
||||
- Settings: base URL, remote reader name, optional API key, RFID power, scan beep, symbology filters, verify auto-confirm seconds
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Android package path renamed toward Scout branding (`com.tallyflow.scout`)
|
||||
- Vendor AARs for some handheld stacks live under `android/app/lib/` (see repo README); SEUIC uses on-device system libraries
|
||||
- Desktop (macOS / Linux / Windows): simulation only — load JSON tag groups, send to Edge, add to list, or export CSV
|
||||
- Service strings in code/README may still say “TallyFlow IoT”; **product name is TallyFlow Edge**
|
||||
|
||||

# TallyFlow Edge Review (repo: tallyflow-iot)
|
||||
|
||||
**Tech Stack:** Rust (Cargo workspace) + Leptos (web UI)
|
||||
**Product name:** TallyFlow Edge (repo/package still `tallyflow-iot`)
|
||||
**Tech stack:** Rust (Cargo workspace) + Leptos CSR web UI
|
||||
**Branches reviewed:** `develop` through `81fa9d8` (July 2026 pull)
|
||||
|
||||
## Structure
|
||||
- `core/`: Main service/library
|
||||
- RFID drivers (Impinj, Zebra, ATID ATF862 / Invengo XC-RF861 — same reader rebranded)
|
||||
- Barcode support (Zebra, SNAPI)
|
||||
- REST API v1
|
||||
- Real-time tag streaming
|
||||
- Reader config/control
|
||||
- Runs as an always-on Windows or Linux service
|
||||
- `web/`: Leptos CSR web interface
|
||||
- Reader health monitoring
|
||||
- Live tag streaming with filtering
|
||||
- Start/stop controls
|
||||
- Imports types directly from `core` (no duplication)
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Capabilities
|
||||
- Hardware abstraction for multiple RFID vendors
|
||||
- Real-time data pipeline from readers → REST → web UI
|
||||
- Designed for always-on Edge deployment
|
||||
- Strong documentation (REST_API.md, LIBRARY.md, etc.)
|
||||
- `core/` — service/library
|
||||
- RFID drivers: Impinj, Zebra, **ATID ATF862 / Invengo XC-RF861 (Master mode)**
|
||||
- Barcode: SNAPI / Aurora / wedge paths
|
||||
- **Remote reader** REST API (mobile/handheld submit — used by **TallyFlow Scout**)
|
||||
- REST API v1, live tag streaming, reader start/stop/health
|
||||
- **Reader-side filtering** (for quotes such as RMS tunnel/filter needs — validate in field)
|
||||
- Keyboard wedge + optional lookup filter (e.g. Assa Abloy patterns)
|
||||
- Egress processors: CSV logger, REST, AMQP → TallyFlow
|
||||
- **MCP** Streamable HTTP at `/mcp` (health, readers, tags; statistics-oriented skills expanded)
|
||||
- Windows Service install path
|
||||
- `web/` — Leptos UI: reader health, live stream/filter, start/stop, improved statistics display
|
||||
|
||||
## Relevance to TallyFlow Platform
|
||||
- Primary ingestion layer for RFID/Edge data
|
||||
- Feeds the web app, reporting, and exception systems
|
||||
- Complements tallyflow-web (which consumes the data)
|
||||
## Key capabilities (market carefully)
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps for Review
|
||||
- Inspect `core/src/` for reader driver implementations
|
||||
- Review REST API endpoints in REST_API.md
|
||||
- Check web/ Leptos components for UI patterns
|
||||
- Multi-vendor fixed RFID + remote/handheld readers under one site edge
|
||||
- Unified tag feed → CSV / REST / AMQP
|
||||
- Ops UI without vendor tools
|
||||
- MCP read-oriented copilot surface (not autonomous dock control by default)
|
||||
- Companion handheld: [[TallyFlow Scout]] (Collect / Verify / Locate)
|
||||
|
||||
## Relevance
|
||||
|
||||
- Primary **site edge** ingestion for docks, tunnels, and multi-reader plants
|
||||
- Can feed Core via AMQP; can stand alone with CSV/REST and customer apps (e.g. Alice+Olivia console)
|
||||
- Scout is the supported mobile remote-reader experience for Edge
|
||||
|
||||
## Next review steps
|
||||
|
||||
- Confirm shipped MCP tool list vs docs after statistics/MCP skill commits
|
||||
- Document ATF862 Master mode hardware prerequisites
|
||||
- Field-test reader-side filtering before strong marketing claims

## Recent Changes (develop pull - 2026-07-27)
|
||||
|
||||
**Theme:** Parent container namespace + safer multi-unit retail identity + register preflight.
|
||||
|
||||
- Reserve **SDG RAIN assignment 8000** for parent container tags (Internal/simple CIN and part-serial reject 8000 for customer unit tags).
|
||||
- Inject **per-unit AI 21** into retail GS1-128 companion barcodes (quantity > 1 no longer identical GTIN+lot barcodes).
|
||||
- **Reject print-and-register** when units share identity tags (post-print preflight; clear Core collision error).
|
||||
- Print UI: hide retail parent linking; require serials for multi-unit register; same 8000 parent reservation on Internal tags.
|
||||
|
||||
*Marketing implication:* Prefer concrete language — parent/container EPC namespace, unique serials on multi-unit retail companions, register blocked on duplicate identities — over vague “better serialization.”

**Tech stack:** Flutter (Material 3), `flutter_hardware_scanner`, optional camera barcode (ML Kit), HTTP client to Edge
|
||||
|
||||
## Role in platform
|
||||
|
||||
Handheld **Collect / Verify / Locate** app for **TallyFlow Edge**.
|
||||
**Not** a replacement for **TallyFlow Assets** (`tallyflow_mobile` → Core).
|
||||
|
||||
## Destinations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Collect** (nav key still `navUpdate` in l10n) — scan list, submit to Edge remote reader API or export CSV
|
||||
2. **Verify** — GS1 barcode identity vs RFID EPC encodings (`gs1_verify_match`); optional auto-confirm
|
||||
3. **Locate** — offline seek-and-find / geiger (`locate_screen`, RSSI colors aligned with Assets pick-list palette)
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration
|
||||
|
||||
- Client: `lib/services/tallyflow_iot_client.dart` → `{baseUrl}/api/v1/health`, `/reader/barcode`, `/reader/rfid`
|
||||
- Remote reader must exist on Edge (`type = remote`, enabled); reader name must match Settings
|
||||
- Offline: Collect + CSV + Locate without server; banner when Edge unreachable
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
- Android industrial devices via hardware scanner plugin (XR2, ATID AARs, SEUIC, URFID noted in tree)
|
||||
- Camera barcode fallback when no hardware scanner / init failure
|
||||
- Desktop: simulator always on
|
||||
|
||||
## Notable modules
|
||||
|
||||
- `epc_mask.dart`, `sdg_rain_decode.dart` — EPC type / Internal part decode
|
||||
- `scan_csv_exporter.dart` — CSV share/save
|
||||
- `l10n` — English + Spanish
|
||||
- Tests cover EPC mask, GS1 verify match, locate finds, CSV export, symbology filter
|
||||
|
||||
## Marketing guardrails
|
||||
|
||||
- Say **Scout works with Edge**; **Assets works with Core**
|
||||
- Three sections only: Collect, Verify, Locate
|
||||
- Locate offline is a real differentiator for floor find without Core
|
||||
- Do not claim full asset CRUD, zones, or scan-and-print in Scout

**Pain authenticity (internal):** `Real` — Floor teams need a simple handheld to feed the site edge, check barcode↔RFID identity, and find a tag without standing up full Core mobile.
|
||||
|
||||
**Also called:** remote reader handheld, GS1 RFID verify, seek-and-find offline
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Fixed readers cover portals; people still walk the floor with handhelds. Wrong EPC encodings slip through when barcode and RFID are not checked together. Full Core asset apps are heavier than a dock verify/find job.
|
||||
|
||||
**How TallyFlow helps:**
|
||||
- **Collect** — scan barcode/RFID on industrial Android devices (or camera barcode on a phone); submit to **TallyFlow Edge** as a remote reader, or export **CSV** when Edge is offline
|
||||
- **Verify** — scan a GS1 barcode, then RFID tags; confirm each EPC encodes the same GS1 identity key (SGTIN/SSCC/GRAI/GIAI-style interoperability). Optional auto-confirm when the list is all matches
|
||||
- **Locate** — seek-and-find by EPC, GTIN/GS1, or Internal part with RSSI/geiger feedback; works **offline** without Edge or Core
|
||||
- Does **not** replace **TallyFlow Assets** (Core enrollment, inventory, zones, scan-and-print)

||||

||||
- **Core Backend** (Go) positioned in the center — provides the REST API
|
||||
- **Core Web UI** (Vue.js) on the left — consumes the Core API
|
||||
- **Auth Service** — handles login and SSO support
|
||||
- Owns MongoDB (assets, tags, photos, zones, events)
