What is the application?  There are some fancy nurse call systems that will do
that, plus voice; however that may be more than the customer wants to spend.

There are also PLC's (programmable logic controllers) that can be programmed to
do anything you want.  That may be overkill too.

You can "roll your own" with a dedicated PC and I/O cards.
