Introduction

Integrations connect components in the architecture. The TraX end-2-end process has been broken down into three distinct integrations: Vehicle store integration, Sensor configuration integration, and Sensor data integration. Partners are required to implement support for all three integrations.

RECOMMENDED We recommend that you implement these three integration in the order listed above

Vehicle Store integration

The Vehicle Store integration is a one-way data synchronization solution between the partner's vehicle store and the TraX Vehicle Store (number 1 in the drawing).
The purpose is to enable quick and easy vehicle creation in the TraX mobile app and ensure complete vehicle identification alignment between the partner and SKF
The integration handles information such as vehicle name, VIN, and vehicle ID.
Implementation instructions are provided in the Vehicle store integration article.

Sensor configuration integration

The sensor configuration integration enables automatic on/offboarding of TraX sensors in the partner's systems (numbers 3 & 4 in the drawing).
The purpose is to enable automatic on- and offboarding of TraX sensors in partner's platforms.
The integration deals with information such as Bluetooth address, vehicle identity, and sensor's position on the vehicle.
Implementation instructions are provided in the Sensor configuration integration article.

Sensor data integration

The sensor data integration enables the uploading of sensor data to SKF (numbers 5 & 6 in the drawing)
The purpose of this integration is to enable partners to share sensor data with SKF.
Information in the scope of this integration includes sensor data, including vehicle GPS location.
Implementation instructions are provided in the Sensor data integration article.

Organizing the implementation effort

Looking at the competence requirements and how partners in TraX are organized, we often find that it's two different teams working with application integration and device integration - each specializing in their own field.

The TraX process spans both application and device integration, and therefore it is vital for the success and efficiency of the implementation effort, that these teams are available, and set up for collaboration.

Competence recommendations for implementing the TraX system

In the table below you can see that competence requirements differ slightly for implementing the three integrations in TraX.

	Application integration competence	Device integration competence
Vehicle store integration	✅	❌
Sensor configuration integration	✅	✅
