End-to-End Process

The TraX end-to-end process (referred to as "the process" from here on) involves clouds, vehicles, and devices. TSPs looking to integrate the TraX sensor into their platforms need a fundamental understanding of this process.

This guide concentrates on developing the integration between SKF and the TSP, excluding the physical installation of the TraX sensor.

Make sure the following are in place before proceeding:

• You have been given access to a development environment.
• You have been given access to TraX sensors.
• You have installed the TraX mobile app you can log in with the provided credentials

Process Description

Phase 1 - Preparation A one-way synchronization of vehicles from the TSP to SKF. Item 1 in the diagram below. Implementation details: Vehicle Store Integration	[01] Add fleet to SKF 🔷 [02] Maintain a list of vehicles 🔷
Phase 2 - Device Registration Automatic onboarding and offboarding of TraX sensors within the TSPs platform. Items 3 & 4 in the diagram below. Implementation details: Sensor Configuration Integration	[03] Commission sensor using the app (manual steps) [04] Retrieve commissioning/decommissioning notification 🔷 [05] Register sensor in TSP's central platform [06] Instruct TSP's edge to listen for sensor broadcasts
Phase 3 - Capture & Process Data Capture, manage, and share sensor data. Items 5 & 6 in the diagram below. Implementation details: Sensor Data Integration	[07] Capture & parse sensor data on the edge [08] Transport sensor data to TSP's central platform [09] Act on sensor data (present data & trigger alarms) [10] Share sensor data with SKF 🔷

🔷 = Steps that involve interacting with the TraX API.

Visual Overview of the Process

The image below illustrates the sequence of steps involved in the complete process. It is also mapped to integrations.

Postman Collection

The process and the TraX web API can also be explored by forking the "E2E Process" Postman collection from the SKF TraX API workspace.
