13 Simulate Worker Activities and Device Data

Use the simulator to simulate worker activities and device data. You can use the data sent by the simulator to test data transfer and create simulated alerts and incidents. Simulations save you the time and expense of connecting real, physical devices to Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service.

Simulated devices and worker activities behave like real, physical devices and workers. Simulations can be turned on and off and can be configured to perform a number of simulated functions such as trip and fall or entering hazardous locations.

Use the simulated data returned in real-time to test and configure Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service features and functionality and customize the application to meet your unique business requirements.

Simulate Personnel Activities

You can use a simulation to simulate the duty status of personnel (on duty, on break, off duty) and simulate a fall event. When you change the duty status or simulate a fall event, the information is sent to your Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service instance.

1. Open a web browser, enter the URL for the Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service simulator, and then press Enter.
   The URL for the Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service simulator is typically http://hostname/cw-sim/login/login.html. Replace hostname with the host name of your Oracle IoT Connected Worker Cloud Service instance. Your host was provided in an email sent to you when you subscribed to the service.
2. Enter your user name and password and then click Sign In.
3. Click Menu and then Simulations.
4. Click the name of a simulation.
5. Click View .
6. (Optional) To change the duty status, select one of these options in the Events area:
   • On Duty: Select this option to change the status to on duty.
   • On Break: Select this option to change the status to on break.
   • Off Duty: Select this option to change the status to off duty.
7. (Optional) To simulate a fall event, click Fall Down in the Events area.
8. (Optional) To view messages sent to simulated personnel, click Messages .
