Need to signal a 'device' (that will be attached to an inventory unit) within a 300 +- square foot dimly lit area that will light up brightly or sound loud enough for the inventory unit to be located. WI-FI signal to be sent from server located anywhere within the area.
Some of the inventory units have 12V DC batteries available as a power source and I would like to prototype the system with these units as a proof-of -concept. Other units will require some form of battery power. Each device will need a unique identifier and can number over a thousand. Need least expensive and dependable configuration since there are multiple geographic locations.
The scene is that a picker will select a list of items using a intranet based tablet (or ??), which will sequentially signal where to find each item (signal will be sent from local server at each geographic location)
I have the WEB based software completed to the level that the picker can generate the needed inventory list and I can do the remaining software once the 'device' and communication methodology are known and working.
I need help with the communications infrastructure and programming to send a signal as previously described and the associated required electronics.
I hope that I am not dreaming here. Thank you in advance for any help.
