Oracle by Example brandingConfigure an Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service Application

section 0Before You Begin

This 15-minute tutorial shows you how to configure the Oracle Internet of Things (IoT) Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application and get started as a fleet manager.

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

Background

Vision Corporation, a tablets and smartphones manufacturer, wants to optimize the supply chain management of its display pickers, glue dispensers, and display mounters. The company is using a new type of glue that will avoid temperature fluctuations and improve the reliability of displays.

To avoid production delays, the company implemented an Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application so that it can track glue shipments from the warehouse to the factory. The application is configured to generate alerts (vehicle departure and speed), trigger incidents (vehicle breakdown), and display vehicle status.

In this tutorial, you configure the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application to track the trips and drivers. You use a simulator application that creates a simulated vehicle and generates its data.

What Do You Need?

section 1 Create a Geofence

  1. Use your fleet manager credentials to sign in to your instance of the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.
  2. Click Menu Menu icon, click Configuration, and then click the Geofence Create New Geofence icon tab.
  3. On the Geofences page, click Create New Geofence Create New Geofence icon.
  4. On the Create New Geofence page, in the Details section, click the Name field, and enter WarehouseSantaClara.
  5. Click Map Search icon. and then in the Search text box, enter 4220 Network Circle,95054.
  6. To draw a geo-boundary on the location, click Draw Draw icon.
  7. To create a starting point, click a location on the map, drag your mouse to define a boundary, and then click to end the boundary.
  8. Click the smaller point that appears in between the two points, drag your mouse, and then click to define another boundary.
  9. Repeat the previous step to form a polygon that defines the geo-boundary of the place.

  10. Click Save, and then click Back.

section 2Register and Review a Trip Template

  1. Click Menu Menu icon, and then click Configuration.
  2. On the Configuration: Settings page, click the Uploads tab Data icon.
  3. On the Configuration: CSV Data page, in the Trip Template section, click Upload.
  4. On the Upload: Trip Template CSV Data page, click Choose File, browse to the folder where you saved the trip-template-sample.csv file, select it, click Open, and then click Upload.
  5. Verify that the New Template has been registered message is displayed. Click Back.
  6. Click Menu Menu icon, and then click Trips.
  7. To review the registered trip template, on the Trip page, click the Templates tab Templates icon, and next to the template record, click View View icon.
  8. On the Trip Templates: SF-SC-01 page, click Map Search icon.

    The map displays the start location, midway stop location, and destination location.

  9. Click Back.

section3Configure Vehicle Data in the Simulator

In this section, you create a simulation model into the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application. The application simulates a vehicle that generates on-board device data, and then sends the data to the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.

  1. Sign in to the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application at https://your Oracle IoT Cloud Service instance name/ds.
  2. On the Simulations page, click Create a Simulation Model create new icon.
  3. On the Select an option page, click Truck, and on the Import Result page, click OK.
  4. On the Simulations page, click Truck.
  5. On the Truck page, click Create New Device Create New icon.
  6. On the Create Devices page, click Create.
  7. On the Truck page, in the row of the device data, click View View icon.
  8. On the Device Status page, in the CONTROLS section, select the vehicle's start location as 4210 Network Cir Santa Clara. In the DEVICE MONITORING section, click the STATUS ON/OFF button to enable display of the status.

section 4Create a Vehicle Type

In this section, you add a device model to the application and then create a vehicle type that is based on the device model. A vehicle type is used to group vehicles with similar attributes. Grouping vehicles with similar attributes can simplify performance management.

  1. Sign in to your instance of Oracle IoT Cloud Service.
  2. Click Menu main menu icon and then click Applications.
  3. Select the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.
  4. Click Device Model.
  5. Click Choose Device Model choose device model icon.
  6. Select the ora_obd2_device_model device model and click Done.
  7. Sign in to your instance of Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service.
  8. Click Menu Menu icon, and then click Configuration.
  9. Click the Vehicle Type Vehicle Type icon tab.
  10. Click Create New Vehicle Type Create Vehicle Type icon.
  11. On the Create New Vehicle Type page, in the Details section, enter or select the following values:
    Name: KenworthVehicleType
    Make: Kenworth
    Model: T680
    Year: 2017.
  12. In the Sensor Attributes section, select all the pre-defined sensor attributes, click Select Device Model, select ora-obd2-device_model, and then click Select.
  13. Click Save and then Back.

section 5Register a Vehicle

In this section, you register a simulated vehicle that is created by the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application.

  1. Click Menu Menu icon, and then click Configuration.
  2. On the Configuration: Settings page, click the Upload tab Data icon.
  3. On the Configuration: CSV Data page, in the Vehicle section, click Upload.
  4. On the Upload: Vehicle CSV Data page, click Choose File, browse to the folder where you saved the vehicle-sample.csv file, select it, click Open, and then click Upload.
  5. Click Go to Vehicle Listing and verify that your vehicle is listed and then click Back.
  6. Click Menu Menu icon, and then click Fleet.
  7. Click the Vehicles Vehicles icon tab. From the Vehicles list, select Kenworth-T680 and click Edit Edit icon.
