One of the people in our department has a desktop model of one of those.
It's typically off. On the shop floor we have some machinery that uses
microwaves to dry extruded rubber which put out a certain amount of RF
which is a cause for concern. For that reason I would prefer a
non-wireless solution that synchs to our server which in turn synchs to an
external time source.
Synching the iSeries with a time server could be beneficial. We will be
upgrading one of our systems to V5R3 before the end of the month and
another the other system (with Kronos) will probably follow at some point.
The main goal is that the displays match the time clocks and that they both
match the iSeries.

With the current version of i5/os you can sync up your iSeries to a time
server. There are large display clocks that will sync up to a time server
and have no cabling, wi-fi, etc. Many home clock radios are now starting
to add this feature. Since everything under the sun syncs up in the end
to the atomic clock why care about syncing to each other?

Time to sync (or swim)
One of our facilities is interested in putting "large display" clocks on
the shop floor that can be easily seen from a distance. We currently use
Kronos 551 clocks for time and attendance. We also have a Kronos clock
that controls the bell for shift changes, breaks, etc. We have a job that
runs every day that synchronizes the time clock time with the iSeries time
so that the time on all clocks and bells match. The Kronos clocks work
well but you can only see the time when standing directly in front of them
and Kronos doesn't sell a large display clock.
We have seen one product that synchs its time with a PC. Our PC's do sync
their times with a Novell server. One suggestion was to have the iSeries
sync its time with Novell. While this might be handy the goal is simply
to
display the time and have it match the time clocks/iSeries time. Can
anybody recommend any products? Thanks.
