section 0Before You Begin

This 15-minute tutorial shows you how to monitor trips and vehicles in the Oracle Internet of Things (IoT) Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.

This is the third 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 use the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application to search for vehicles and drivers, view a trip in real time, view the metrics ribbon and the Global KPI (Key Performance Indicator) ribbon. For this tutorial, you generate data in the Oracle IoT Digital Twin Simulator application that sends it to the Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring Cloud Service application.
