Process Overview
This guide walks you through the complete integration journey — from understanding the architecture to going live with TraX. The process is structured into six sequential steps.
Step 1 – Understand the architecture and requirements
Start by reviewing the overall architecture and ensuring your platform meets the integration requirements. These articles provide a high-level overview of the solution and the complete end-to-end flow.
- System Overview – Overview of the essential components required to operate TraX.
Step 2 – Connect to the APIs
The integration architecture includes:
- Web API – Full application integration capabilities.
- Queue API – Event-driven messaging (e.g., an event when a device is commissioned / decommissioned).
Connections are initiated by the Telematics Service Provider (TSP). Review these articles to prepare your environment:
- Integration Environments – Development and production environments provided by SKF.
- Web API – Authentication, endpoints, and usage.
- Queue API – Subscribe to and process events in real time.
Detailed implementation guidance is provided in the next step.
Step 3 – Implement integrations
The end-to-end process consists of four integrations. These should be implemented sequentially.
- Installer Onboarding Integration – xx
- Vehicle Store Integration – One-way synchronization of vehicles from the TSP platform to SKF.
- Device Configuration Integration – Automated onboarding and offboarding of TraX devices within the TSP platform.
- Device Data Integration – Capture, manage, and distribute device data within your system and to SKF.
Step 4 – Leverage device capabilities
Once integration is complete, you can start creating value from the data.
- Feature Reference – xxx
- Temperature Monitoring – Explains how temperature data is measured and transmitted, and how the TSP can implement support for detecting rapid thermal events.
- Alarm Prioritization –
Step 5 – Testing and production readiness
Quality Assurance
- – Validate the technical integration in the development environment.
- – Verify readiness for production deployment.
Prepare for go-live
- Conduct training sessions.
- Establish a support model – The TSP serves as first-line support, while SKF provides second- and third-line support.
- Manage Users and Access – Configure roles and permissions for scalable deployment.
- Request Support – Guidance on how to contact SKF for assistance.
Step 6 – Go live 🚀
- Onboard fleets and installers. SKF is available to support the initial production deployments and early customer cases.
