# TallyFlow Scout Review (repo: tallyflow-assets-iot)
|
|
|
|
**Product name:** TallyFlow Scout
|
|
**Package:** `tallyflow_scout`
|
|
**Version reviewed:** **0.6.2+14** (master `0e37633`, 2026-07-30)
|
|
**Prior review:** 0.5.3+10 (`2c479fb`, 2026-07-27)
|
|
**Tech stack:** Flutter (Material 3), `flutter_hardware_scanner` ^0.14 prerelease, camera barcode (ML Kit), `sgtin` (path), 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 → “Collect”) — 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); continuous hit indicator when any tags are in field
|
|
|
|
## Delta since 0.5.3 (marketing-relevant)
|
|
|
|
| Area | Change |
|
|
|------|--------|
|
|
| **Edge optional** | Settings `useTallyFlowEdge` — when off, no health checks / submits; CSV & floor tools only (`edgeActive`) |
|
|
| **Tag decode sheet** | Tap row → GS1 EPC-96 / SDG RAIN CIN / barcode GS1 AIs; RFID can open Locate |
|
|
| **Collect list** | Overflow menu: clear list; sort by value or RSSI (plus default recent) |
|
|
| **Locate UX** | Hit counter/lamp stays visible while tags are in the field (not only focused finds) |
|
|
| **Audio** | `RfidBeepGate` serializes driver beep vs Locate geiger mute |
|
|
| **Decode/filter** | SDG RAIN CIN filter fixed (`D3C4C753` EPC prefix) |
|
|
| **Branding** | Simpler app icon / splash assets |
|
|
| **Settings UX** | Sheet height capped (~80%); shorter help copy |
|
|
| **Hardware** | Stronger URFID vs ATID AAR conflict handling note in tree |
|
|
|
|
## 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 / Edge-off: Collect + CSV + Locate without server; banner only when Edge enabled and unreachable / unconfigured
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
- applicationId: `com.tallyflow.scout`
|
|
|
|
## Notable modules
|
|
|
|
- `tag_decode_sheet.dart` — decode UI + `TagDecodeDetails.resolveRfid` / `resolveBarcode`
|
|
- `epc_mask.dart`, `sdg_rain_decode.dart` — EPC type / Internal part decode (CIN filter fix)
|
|
- `rfid_beep_gate.dart` — Locate mute vs inventory beep
|
|
- `scan_csv_exporter.dart` / `scan_csv_export.dart` — CSV share/save
|
|
- `rssi_display.dart` — shared RSSI presentation
|
|
- `l10n` — English + Spanish
|
|
- Tests: EPC mask, GS1 verify, locate finds, CSV, symbology, tag decode, useTallyFlowEdge, rfid beep gate, power slider
|
|
|
|
## Marketing guardrails
|
|
|
|
- Say **Scout works with Edge**; **Assets works with Core**
|
|
- Three sections only: Collect, Verify, Locate
|
|
- Locate offline + optional Edge-off are real differentiators for floor find without Core
|
|
- Decode sheet is operator convenience, not a full GS1 stack / compliance product
|
|
- Do not claim full asset CRUD, zones, or scan-and-print in Scout
|
|
|
|
## Follow-ups (docs/code debt)
|
|
|
|
- Repo README still under-lists Verify / decode / Edge toggle; version footer stale
|
|
- `part_serial` assignment-match flags currently unused by decode path (reserved)
|
|
- Cross-app symbology story still open (README technical debt section)
