Connecting Temperature and Humidity Sensors to Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring

In our solution, we revamped the existing ecosystem by integrating GPS tracking and temperature & humidity Sensors (Teltonika TZ-BT04) from vehicles and warehouse. Initially, these devices were connected to a tracking device via wire or Bluetooth. The tracking device transmitted temperature and humidity data to cell towers, which were then sent to the Saudi tracking server. The tracking details were accessible through the Saudi tracking application online.

All the devices from Teltonika use a simple protocol using TCP way with a simple text format. To streamline the data processing, an application is required that accepts data through a TCP socket, parse it, and send it via HTTP POST in JSON format to Oracle Cloud Connector. We utilized the existing ‘Saudi Tracking’ as middleware to convert data into Oracle IoT-compatible format and established a connection with the IoT Asset Monitoring System using REST APIs.

Automation was introduced to sync Maintenance Cloud with the IoT Asset Monitoring application, creating assets in IoT AM for monitoring purposes. Locations defined in Maintenance Cloud were seamlessly transferred to the IoT AM application.
