Automatic onboarding of measurement points
You can manually add measurement points in Agile Workplace Management, but it is also 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 sensoring system.Data preparation
The data in the Planon application is mapped to the data of the sensoring 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 'Connector app' that communicates with an IoT vendor system. This app offers a class for polling data (IPWIPollingTask) and, optionally, a class for onboarding (IPWIOnboardingTask). Developing an app is part of the Planon as a Platform solution.
Subsequently, this app needs to be installed in the AppCenter.
