CASE STUDY:

TR610 Time and Attendance Recorder

When GigaTMS approached us to design a top-of-the-line Time and Attendance Terminal for them, we immediately reached for our EM1000 module.

GigaTMS wanted a terminal with an RFID sensor, LCD, built-in configuration menu, web administration interface, GUI administration, built-in relays, and support for multiple network protocols (SNTP, DHCP).

Our designers created a custom PCB and housing for the TR610, nicely integrating all peripherals - buttons, RFID sensor, LCD and connectors.

Since the EM1000 is a standard platform, application development was already well underway before the first hardware prototypes came off the assembly line. To expedite development, we used existing libraries for DHCP and SNTP.

Open-Source Firmware

We've made the Tibbo BASIC application driving the TR610 open-source. Anyone interested in the software innards of the device is welcome to download the source code and learn from it.

Conceptual Artwork

As with any OEM project, the design process is iterative; it's not a bolt from the blue where you suddenly get the perfect look on the first shot. Below you can find a few drafts our designers used to explore various interface possibilities for the TR610. While these were never produced, they were important milestones along the way.
