Need Your Advice & Opinion on Hardware Integration

Hi, I am Navneet Jain, we are building OpenSource Hardware Solutions for Manufacturing Organizations.

Our first product is called Downtime Defender, it basically connects to any Industrial Machine, monitors its current and automatically creates downtime logs.

  • It enables identification and analysis of operational bottlenecks.
  • Improves machine utilization, leading to better efficiency.
  • Boosts productivity and reduces downtime-related costs.

Now I am confused between 2 approaches:

Approach 1: Build a open source web application using Frappe to view the logs, update the reason, analyze downtime trends & send logs to ERPNext via API

Approach 2: Have an functionality in the firmware to directly integrate with ERPNext

Please share your opinion.

Thank You In Advance,

Cheers!
