Development of Unified UI for TCP/IP Communication with Industrial Printer and Scanner

Job ID: 40255825

Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR

Project Overview

We require a custom desktop application that can communicate with:

One Industrial Printer Software (TCP/IP-based)

One Industrial Scanner System (TCP/IP-based)

Both systems operate over LAN using TCP/IP sockets.

We will provide:

IP address & port number

Communication protocol documentation

Sample commands and expected responses

The requirement is to develop a single unified UI application through which the user can control and monitor both systems simultaneously.

Core Functional Requirements
1. Printer Communication

Send print commands to printer software

Transfer variable data

Receive print status (Success / Error / Busy)

Error message display

Print job logging

2. Scanner Communication

Receive scanned data in real-time

Parse barcode / QR data

Display scanned result on UI

Trigger conditional action based on scanned data

Example: Send command to printer after successful scan

System Behavior Requirements

Real-time TCP/IP socket communication

Auto reconnect if connection fails

Connection status indicator (Green / Red)

Communication logs with timestamp

Error handling and retry mechanism

Manual and Auto operation modes

UI Requirements

Clean industrial interface

Separate section for:

Printer status

Scanner data

System logs

Start / Stop operation buttons

Settings panel for IP & port configuration

Technical Requirements

Strong experience with TCP/IP socket programming

Experience with hardware integration preferred

Knowledge of industrial communication protocols

Desktop-based application required (Windows environment)

Preferred technology (open to suggestion):
