Gonector 2.0 Doubles Supported Devices

Gonector 2.0 Doubles Supported Devices | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

Gonector allows custom FileMaker apps for iPhone or iPad to seamlessly integrate directly with various mobile devices such as digital scales, RFID readers and mobile printers.

 

Today we are happy to announce version 2.0 which doubles the number of supported devices.

 

#FileMaker #Integration #Plug-ins #Hardware #RFID #NFC #Sensors #Barcode

 

The plug-in has been out for almost three years now and enabled some great apps, such as JOGS, to replace manual work with modern technologies, such as RFID and digital scales, without compromising the ease of use and development efficiency provided by the Claris FileMaker platform.

Solid Roots

We built Gonector with the idea that integrating external accessories to a custom FileMaker app should be as easy as building the app itself.

So we carefully selected the devices to support in the first version to make sure they work reliably and the integration feels natural.

Reduce Scanned Document File Sizes For Your Containers | FileMaker

Reduce Scanned Document File Sizes For Your Containers | FileMaker | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
Is your database becoming much larger than expected? Does the database use a lot of container fields? This could be caused by users scanning documents incorrectly.

I know what you’re thinking; this isn’t strictly FileMaker related. However I will explain.

A client contacted me recently complaining that the system I had written for him was too large and it was taking up too much disk space. This was supposed to be a small system, so it was an unexpected complaint.

After a very small investigation I found that the container data was using 200GB of disk space! This was due to users scanning documents to a very high, and unnecessary, quality. This made the scanned documents much larger than they needed to be and in turn, the FileMaker system.

This is a very simple problem to fix.

Updating FileMaker data with Zebra mobile devices

 

We were recently working on a project where we needed to verify order fulfillment and staging prior to pickup by the shipping carriers.

 

In most instances, we’d use FileMaker Go on an iPod Touch or iPad for mobile users, but this project required that we scan barcodes quickly for optimum performance.
