Connect John Deere machines to Infobric Machines using Machine connections

Learn how to connect John Deere machines to Infobric Machines using Machine connections and which machine data can be displayed.

Written by Oscar Karlsson

When should I use this guide?

Use this guide when you:

  • want to connect machine data from John Deere directly to Infobric Machines

  • use John Deere Operations Center or JDLink for the relevant machines

  • can authorize Infobric's access to your organization in John Deere Operations Center

In Infobric Machines, John Deere has status Manual. This means the connection must be configured together with Infobric Support and cannot be completed entirely as self-service.


Prerequisites

You need to:

  • have the Owner or Administrator role in Infobric Machines

  • use Infobric Machines on the web

  • have an active John Deere account for the machines you want to connect

  • be allowed to authorize access to the organization in John Deere Operations Center

  • contact Infobric Support to start the connection

Check that the correct machines are available in John Deere Operations Center or JDLink before you start.


How to connect

  1. Sign in to Infobric Machines.

  2. Go to Telematics → Integrate machines → Machine connections.

  3. Search for John Deere.

  4. Confirm that the provider has status Manual.

  5. Contact Infobric Support and state that you want to connect John Deere machines through AEMP.

  6. Follow the instructions from Support.

  7. Sign in to John Deere Operations Center and authorize Infobric's access to your organization when instructed by Support.

When authorization and connection are complete, Machines starts retrieving the data that John Deere makes available. New machines and values normally appear within one hour after the next data retrieval.


Which data is displayed from John Deere?

John Deere provides the latest available information for each machine.

The following information can be displayed in Infobric Machines:

  • Operating hours: The latest reported value.

  • Position: The latest reported position.

  • Engine on or off: An approximate status based on the latest retrieved information.

  • Fuel used: Displayed when the machine reports the value.

  • Fuel level: Displayed when the machine reports the value.

  • Idle hours: Displayed when the machine reports the value.

The available information depends on the machine model, telematics equipment and the values John Deere makes available for your organization.

John Deere provides snapshot data

Snapshot data means that Machines receives the machine's latest known values when information is retrieved. It is not a complete time series of everything that has happened.

This means that:

  • a short engine run between two retrievals may be missed

  • the position is the latest retrieved location, not a complete route

  • history from before the connection was created is not imported

  • data from an interruption is not retrieved afterwards


If it does not work

First, check that:

  • the correct machines are available in John Deere Operations Center or JDLink

  • your John Deere account has the required access

  • Infobric's access to the organization has been authorized

  • the authorization is still active

  • the machine has reported data to John Deere

  • you have allowed up to one hour for new machines or values to appear

Because the provider has status Manual, do not try to complete the connection yourself.

If no machines or data appear after Support has completed the connection, first check the machines and source data in John Deere Operations Center or JDLink, then contact Infobric Support.

Infobric Machines displays the information received from John Deere. If source data is missing or incorrect, check it with John Deere or your dealer.


Tips

  • Check that the correct machines are linked to the organization before completing authorization.

  • Available data may differ between machine models and agreements.

  • Do not revoke Infobric's access in John Deere Operations Center while the integration should remain active.

  • Never include account details or other sensitive information in screenshots or ordinary support messages.
