How TraX works
An installer mounts the sensor on a wheel end and configures it using the TraX mobile app. The sensor is then integrated into both the SKF and TSP platforms. Once specific conditions are met—such as exceeding a temperature threshold or the vehicle being in motion for a certain period—the sensor begins broadcasting data. This data is captured, stored, analyzed, and presented by the TSP, while the raw sensor data is ultimately shared with SKF.
Learn about TraX
- Explore sensor backplate options and learn how to mount and commission sensors in the Commissioning Sensors article.
- Review the Concepts and Process Integration articles to understand the big picture.
- Familiarize yourself with the Architecture and Integration Architecture to ensure you can meet the Integration Requirements.
- Detailed sensor functionality is available in the SKF TraX Technical Specification Connected Version document.
- An introduction to the current firmware generation can be found in the Introduction to Firmware BSS10 article.
Integrating the TraX sensor into your platform
Preparation
- We provide development and production Integration Environments. Your client must be onboarded by SKF to each environment before connecting.
- During onboarding, we set up the necessary Accounts and resources for integration.
Build your TraX client
- Learn how to Connect to Queues and how to Connect to the Web API.
- Obtain server endpoints from the Integration Environments article.
- Implement the three Integrations: (1) Vehicle Store Integration, (2) Sensor Configuration Integration, and (3) Sensor Data Integration.
- Set up alarms and design the UI in your platform based on guidance in the Acting on Sensor Data article.
- The TraX sensor is designed for long-term monitoring. To enhance its temperature measurement capabilities, integrate controls into your platform to generate alerts for rapid thermal events. Refer to the Temperature Capabilities articles for guidance.
Deploy to the Development Environment
- Once ready for integration tests, deploy your TraX client to the development environment.
- Use the QA Protocol to ensure your TraX client meets acceptance criteria.
Deploy to the Production Environment
- Deploy the solution to the production environment.
- Use the User Acceptance Test Protocol to validate that the technical integration and users are ready to go live.
Getting Ready for Go-Live
- Integrate SKF and TSP support teams to ensure a well-understood and connected support model. TraX-specific support flows provided by SKF are described in the Request Support article.
- Conduct training sessions.
Go live 🚩
- Onboard new fleets, and installers. SKF can assist in the first customer cases.
- Support TraX users.
- To scale the deployment of TraX sensors, you are empowered Manage Users and Access to Resources through self-service to support the growth demand for installers.
Final notes
- The “SKF TraX sensor” is referred to as “the sensor” in this documentation.
- Capitalized words have special meanings as defined in RFC2119.
