Oracle by Example brandingTracking Assets in an Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service Application

section 0Before You Begin

This 15-minute tutorial shows you how to track assets, their conditions, and their needs in the Oracle Internet of Things (IoT) Asset Monitoring Cloud Service application as an asset manager of an enterprise.

This is the second tutorial in Quick Start Tutorials for the Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service Application. Read the tutorials sequentially.

Background

An airport has implemented an Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service application to monitor and manage its movable and fixed location assets. The tracked assets are rubber cleaning machines, HVAC units, generator units, and runway sweeping machines. The application is configured to locate assets, trigger incidents and alerts, display the historical and current values of the sensor data, and display the status of the incidents.

In this tutorial, you use the application to track the location of a runway sweeping machine, create a rule, and detect its incidents, conditions, and needs.

What Do You Need?

section 1Track Assets

In this section, you use the application to locate the runway sweeping machine.

  1. Sign in to your instance of the Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service application.
  2. Click Menu main menu icon and then click Map.
  3. Click Places Search places search icon.. In the text box enter ACMEInternationalAirport, and then click outside the text box. The geo-boundary of your place is highlighted on the map.
  4. Click Asset Search asset search icon..
  5. In the Asset Filter list select Type and then select is. In the other list box, select RunwaySweepingAssetType. The number on the airport floor plan is the search result.
  6. Click the number and then locate and click the Sweeping Machine sweeping machine icon. icon, which represents the Runway Sweeping Machine 1 machine.

  7. To obtain the machine's current location, on the Runway Sweeping Machine1 page, click the INFO tab and make a note of the value of its GEO-LOCATION attribute.

section 2Create a Rule

You create rules to generate incidents, alerts, and warnings about assets. In this section, you create a rule for the sweeping machine asset type, so that an incident is generated when the sweeping machine's engine temperature and engine vibration exceed the standard.

  1. Click Menu main menu icon and then click Rules.
  2. On the Rules page, click Create New Rule create new icon.
  3. On the Create New Rule page, in the Details section, enter or select the following values:
    • Name: Sweeper Engine Maintenance Incident
    • Apply to: Asset Type and RunwaySweepingAssetType
  4. In the Condition section, select the following values:
    • sensor/engineVibrations Greater Than 6
    • sensor/engineTemperature Greater Than 650
  5. In the Fulfillment section, select the following values:
    • Fulfill when: All Conditions Apply
    • Generate: Incident
  6. In the Incident Details subsection, enter or select the following values, and click Save:
    • Summary: Sweeper machine engine needs maintenance
    • Type: Maintenance
    • Priority: High
    • Description: Sweeper machine engine needs maintenance
  7. To return to the Rules page, click Back.

section 3Trigger a Rule and Track Incidents

In this section, you enable the device simulator to send anomalous data to the Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service application and thus see how a rule is triggered and a corresponding incident is created.

  1. Sign in to the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application at https://your Oracle IoT Cloud Service instance name/ds.
  2. On the Simulators page, click AirportRunwaySweeper.
  3. On the AirportRunwaySweeper page, select the Send Data to Trigger Rule check box for the device.
  4. To review the device's attributes, click View View icon.
  5. Monitor the changing values of the ENGINETEMP and ENGINEVIBRATION attributes. When their values exceed 650 and 6 respectively, sign in to the instance of your Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service application.
  6. Click Menu main menu icon and then click Incidents.
  7. Look at the Status, Type, and Reported Time values for the most recent incident. The incident was created because the values of ENGINETEMP and ENGINEVIBRATION in the simulated device triggered the Sweeper Engine Maintenance Incident rule. The incident indicates that the machine needs maintenance.

section 4Track Asset Conditions and Needs

  1. Click Menu main menu icon and then click Assets.
  2. On the Assets page, for Runway Sweeping Machine1, click View View icon.
  3. On the Runway Sweeping Machine1 page, review the values of the Connected, Utilized, and Available metrics.
    Metric bar of the Runway Sweeping Machine1.

  4. To track the Utilized metric over a period of time, click the time drop-down list, and select Last 24 hours. Look at the value in the metric box.
  5. On the menu bar, click Incidents and review the values for Reported Time, Status, Type, and Summary.
  6. From the incidents list, identify those incidents whose status value is Open or New, and whose type value is Maintenance.
