When should I use this guide?
Use this guide when you want to connect machine data from a manufacturer or telematics provider directly to Infobric Machines without a separate telematics device.
AEMP, Advanced Equipment Management Protocol, is a standard for transferring machine data. Depending on the provider, Machines can receive data such as location, fuel consumption, engine hours and maintenance information.
If the machine or provider does not support AEMP, you can connect the machine using one of our telematics devices instead.
Prerequisites
You need to:
confirm with the manufacturer or provider that the machine can be connected via AEMP
obtain the required authentication credentials from the manufacturer or provider
have access to Infobric Machines on the web
have the Owner or Administrator role
The required information varies between providers. It may include Client ID, Client secret, Username or Password.
How to connect the machine
Sign in to Infobric Machines.
Open Telematics.
Select Integrate machines.
Open Machine connections.
Search for the provider or select it on the Inactive tab.
Check the provider status:
Inactive means that the connection can be configured.
Request means that you need to contact Support to connect the provider.
Manual means that the connection requires manual or customer-specific configuration through Support.
Active means that there is already an active connection to the provider.
Select a provider with the Inactive status.
Enter the authentication credentials shown under Enter authentication.
If you need to add another set of authentication credentials, select Add another authentication.
Select Connect and collect data.
The guide continues with the Collect data and Complete the integration steps. Once the connection is complete, Machines starts receiving the machine data made available by the provider.
If it does not work
First, check that:
you have selected the correct provider
the machine and provider support AEMP
you have entered all required authentication credentials
the credentials match the information supplied by the manufacturer or provider
The Connect and collect data button is not available until all required information has been entered.
If the provider is marked Request or Manual, contact Support to continue.
If the message There is a problem with this provider, please contact Support is displayed, do not continue setting up the connection yourself.
Infobric Machines displays the information received from the provider. If data is missing or incorrect, check the information with the machine manufacturer or telematics provider.
Tips!
Ask the provider for the correct AEMP credentials before you start.
Check which authentication fields are displayed for the selected provider, as they may vary.
Use a telematics device if the machine cannot be connected via AEMP.
Never include real authentication credentials in screenshots or support messages.
