Great to see something like this here. That's how the company I now run started back in the 90ies. Back then (and earlier, but that stuff stays around) alarm receiving centers had reaceiving devices that just printed everything they received on strips of paper. So if they received a burglary alarm somthing like ID: 1234 Status 00001000 apperead and the operator had to grab a folder, search for the ID and then read to see what he had to do, when the 5th line went from 0 to 1. Our company built devices that connected to the printing ports (most of the time internal connections on the main board) of the machines, interpret the data and automate the lookup against files (later a database).
