Abstract
A system for managing edge devices, such as scanner devices, typically includes a management module having a processor. The processor is typically communicatively coupled to a user interface that includes a visual display and a plurality of edge devices. The processor may also be communicatively coupled to a plurality of intermediate devices. The management module enables a user of the user interface to manage various aspects of the system. The processor is typically configured for displaying with the visual display (i) a physical view of the connections between the management module, the intermediate devices, and the edge devices and (ii) a first user-defined view of the management module, the intermediate devices, and the scanner devices. The processor is typically also configured for managing operational information generated by connected edge devices, including for efficiently storing operational information and intelligently querying the operational information to assist the user in matching compatible plug-in applications with particular edge devices.
