Use Location Sensors

Use location sensors to associate locations with environmental sensor data. Define location sensors and the corresponding sensor attributes that you wish to monitor for your locations. For example, you may wish to monitor the ambient light and temperature for your project location.

You can add multiple sensor attributes to a location sensor. Each sensor attribute can use its own data type and measurement unit. For example, you may wish to define an ambient_light sensor attribute that uses the Integer data type for measurements. Similarly, you can define a temperature attribute and use the Number data type to measure whole and fractional values in Fahrenheit or Celsius units.

The sensor attribute abstracts the device model and device message field details. So, for example, if you have different locations using different brands of temperature monitors, you can use the same temperature attribute for these various devices.

After defining the location sensor, proceed to associate the location sensor with your project location. You also need to attach your sensor devices to your sensor attributes to complete the configuration.

8. Click Attach.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 if your location sensor has additional sensor attributes.

Use Employee Wearable Types

Define employee wearable types and the corresponding sensor attributes that you wish to monitor for your workers. For example, you may wish to add heart rate and body temperature monitors for your workers.

You can add multiple sensor attributes to a wearable type. Each sensor attribute can use its own data type and measurement unit. For example, you may wish to define a heart_rate sensor attribute that uses the Integer data type for measurements. Similarly, you can define a temperature attribute and use the Number data type to measure whole and fractional values in Fahrenheit or Celsius units.

The sensor attribute abstracts the device model and device message field details. So, for example, if you have different workers using different brands of heart rate monitors, you can use the same heart_rate attribute for these various devices.

After defining the employee wearable types, proceed to associate the devices for your wearable type. You need to map the sensor attributes to the device message fields to complete the association.

Associating one or more wearable devices with an individual worker is a one step process: You can select the worker and associate the devices. The sensor attribute mappings are automatically picked from the employee wearable type definition.

Add Worker Certifications to Monitor Worker Access

You can monitor worker access to your projects and locations using worker certifications. When a worker enters the project location, the worker must have a valid certification for each of the required certification types. If the worker does not have the required certifications, a server alert is raised.

You can configure rules based on these alerts to generate corresponding incidents, employee alerts, and messages. For example, say a worker enters a designated project location without the required certification. A pre-configured rule may trigger an incident and send a push notification message to the worker's mobile device.

You can associate certification type requirements with your projects and locations. If you associate a certification type with a project, it applies to all locations in the project.

Each certification type can include one or more certifications. For example, Vision Corporation may be using two different certifications for its US and EU employees. The Vision Corporation project certification type will include both these certifications.

You can associate your projects and locations with one or more certification types. When a worker enters the project location, the worker should possess a valid certification of each certification type required by the project or location.

You can add certifications for your workers, and specify the validity dates for these certifications. Before you can associate certifications with workers, and certification types with your projects and locations, you must create the certifications and certification types.

Here's the workflow for using certifications and certification types:

1. Create the required certifications and certification types.

   See Create a New Certification and Create a New Certification Type for more information.

2. Add the required certification types to your projects or locations.

   See Associate Certification Types with a Project and Add a Location to a Project

   for more information.
3. Add the required certifications for your users.

   See Associate Certifications with a User for more information.

4. Create rules for triggering responses to certification violation errors.

   When creating rules for triggering responses to certification violation errors, select the following alert type as the condition for your rule:

   CertificateTypesViolation - urn:com:oracle:iot:cw:location:certificate_types_violation

   See Create and Manage Rules for more information on creating rules.

Add Asset Associations and Asset Locations for a Project

If you have managed assets in Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service that your project workers work with, you can choose to add these assets to your project in Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service. Fetching asset sensor parameters and locations from Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service lets you maintain a safe and efficient work environment for your workers.

When you add an asset type association for your project, all assets of the asset type in Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service are synced with Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service.

Creating project asset associations in Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service lets you efficiently manage your workers and project:

• You can track asset locations, sensor parameters, and worker histories associated with your assets. Each asset location includes real-time data on the workers, incidents, and hazard conditions associated with the asset location.
• You can define vicinity radii for assets. For example, you may have an asset like a high-temperature furnace or an asset with radiation hazard. An alert is automatically generated if a worker violates the vicinity radius for the asset. You can use the alert condition in a rule to, say, send a message to the worker, or to raise an incident.
• You can restrict the time that a worker can work at an asset location. For example, you may want to restrict the time an employee spends in the cold storage unit. An alert is automatically created if the restricted time is crossed. You can create rules to act upon the alert.
• You can use asset sensor parameter values in your rule conditions to create incidents, or take other actions. For example, you may wish to create a rule to generate employee alerts and hazards if the boiler pressure approaches the threshold value.

Add an Asset Type Association

Use the Project Details page to associate an Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service asset type with your project.

You must have already created the asset type in Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service before you can associate it with a project in Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service.

See Also: Create and Manage Asset Types and Create and Manage Assets in the Using Oracle Internet of Things Asset Monitoring Cloud Service guide for detailed information on asset types and assets.

2. Select a project in the Projects list in the left pane.
3. Click Edit Project Details in the right pane.
4. Click the Project Integration tab.
5. Click Add New Asset Monitoring Integration next to Asset Monitoring Integrations.
6. Specify the Asset Type, Radius, and other optional details.
   • Asset Type: Select an existing asset type in Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service. All existing assets of the asset type are automatically fetched into Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service. Any new assets that you subsequently create in Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service are also synced.
   • Radius: Enter a radius, in meters, for the asset location on the map. A circle of the specified radius marks the asset location on the map in Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service.

     The Radius for an asset location must be less than 1000 meters.

   • Vicinity Radius: (Optional) Enter a vicinity radius in meters. The vicinity radius must be greater than the Radius. You can use the vicinity radius to raise alerts when workers approach the asset.

     For example, you may have an asset like a high-temperature furnace or an asset with radiation hazard. An alert is automatically generated if a worker violates the vicinity radius for the asset. You can use the alert condition in a rule to, say, send a message to the worker, or to raise an incident.

     The Vicinity Radius for an asset location must be less than 1000 meters.

   • Restricted Time: (Optional) Enter the maximum stretch of time, in seconds, that an employee can remain at the asset location. An alert is automatically created if the restricted time is crossed. You can use the alert condition in a rule to, say, send a message to the worker, or to raise an incident.

     For example, you may want to restrict the time an employee spends in the cold storage unit.

   • Re-Enter Time Interval: (Optional) Enter the minimum stretch of time, in seconds, that a worker must spend outside the asset location after leaving it, before the worker can attempt to re-enter the asset location. An alert is automatically created if the employee attempts to re-enter the asset location before the re-enter time interval has expired. You can use the alert condition in a rule to, say, send a message to the worker, or to raise an incident.

     For example, you may want to restrict an employee from re-entering a cold storage unit soon after the employee has left it.

   • Certification Types: Select one or more available certification types to associate with the asset location.

     You must have already created the certification types that you wish to associate with the location.

     A worker entering the asset location would need to have at least one certification for each associated certification type.
