# 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**
|
||||
|
||||
## Related components
|
||||
|
||||
- `tallyflow-iot` — **TallyFlow Edge** backend (remote reader + fixed readers + CSV/REST/AMQP egress)
|
||||
- `tallyflow_mobile` — **TallyFlow Assets** (Core mobile; not replaced by Scout)
|
||||
- `tallyflow-print` / Print UI — Internal EPC encodings Scout can decode/group
|

- `flutter_hardware_scanner` (+ XR2 / SEUIC / ATID device plugins)
|
||||
|
||||
## Open / watch
|
||||
|
||||
- Website and datasheets should say **Scout + Edge**, not “Assets for IoT”
|
||||
- Distribution channel (Play / sideload / SI bundle) not fixed in vault
|
||||
- Do not market Scout as Core enrollment or scan-and-print — those stay on Assets
