Solution needed: Exchange data on-time between two monitors with each one app instance

Posted on by 160

Hello,

 

iam working on an app, where i will need two monitors to work with the data. For easier understanding, i show you how they should look like. The App is about picking sheets from a metal plate.

 

Monitor 1 [Huge screen on the wall], the metal plate:

Monitor 2 [Tablet], all parts on that metal plate:

-> When the user selects an item on monitor 2 (Tablet), it should show him on monitor 1 where it's located. 

 

Now my question is not about the code, but about the solution itself. In my opinion there are two possibilities:

  • Work on one app with the same instance and show one screen on montior 1 and the other one on monitor 2
    • Is this even possible? If yes, how? Would prefere this because i can work fast with the data in collections.
  • Work on two apps or two app instances and send Data via an intersection table from one app to another (e.g. Sharepoint List)
    • This has to be done everytime the user selects and Item on Monitor two (Tablet)
    • Will probably work pretty slow i guess. 
    • I have to integrate a timer with refreshes the source every second.
    • Is there a any other way to make this work fast (on-time)?

 

Does someone have experience and a solution for this?

 

Thanks in advance
