Problem to solve

To be able to fulfill orders quickly, rieker-eshop.hu decided to install barcode scanners to the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt has to communicate with the internal company Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

Challenge

The PLC that controls the conveyor belt cannot send API requests to the ERP, we needed a service that processes the low-level TCP socket data, and forwards it to the ERP via REST API. If there is an error, this service has to stop the conveyor belt, so the operators can react.

Outcome

We built a node.js based service that reads and writes the TCP socket, and communicates with the ERP system. There is a screen for the operators that gives information about the successful and failed processing.
