Automatic onboarding of measurement points (Custom managed connectors)
If you are using a custom managed connector, it is possible to automatically onboard measurement points in bulk.
 | • Automatically onboarding measurement points only works for custom-managed connectors; consequently, it requires an app to communicate with the sensor system. • For details about onboarding, see the Connect app's documentation in the Marketplace. |
Data preparation
The data in the Planon application is mapped to the data of the sensor system. A mapping table ensures that both parties can identify their components uniquely. This unique ID, known as an external ID, is used to identify the stored objects.
Onboarding app
A 'Connect app' that communicates with an IoT vendor system. This app offers a class for polling data (IAWMPollingTask) and, optionally, a class for onboarding (IAWMOnboardingTask). Developing an app is part of the Planon as a Platform solution.
Subsequently, this app needs to be installed in the AppCenter.
AWM
On Connectors/Onboarding step, you can select your onboarding app and specify its settings.
To continue the process, proceed with Onboarding of measurement points.
