Data Collection Terminals

Hello all,

We are currently running Mapics XA R6 and have the PMC application
installed, collecting inventory, time and attendance and job off
transactions. We have two TX2001 Inducomp Data Collection Terminals
(from early 1900 I believe) that function as time clocks to gather time
and attendance transactions only. The other transactions are collected
on PC's throughout the shop using a custom software program written by a
consultant. We are in the process of installing and testing the iTera
Echo2 High Availability Software solution and would like to eliminate
these TX2001 terminals as they are not "IP" capable. The TX2001
terminals run HAL software and were interfaced to the PMC application by
the same consultant. What we would really like to do is replace the
TX2001 with an "IP" capable time clock that can connect to an Ethernet
network and pass the "fast clocking" time and attendance transactions
directly to the PMC application. Now, after all that is said, does
anyone use any type of devices connected to an Ethernet network that
would be able to perform the "TA" transactions required by the Mapics
PMC application?

Thanks in advance.
