Master Data Widget

The Machine Master Data widget allows the user to view the machine vital information such as status and distance tracking during a selected time period
It is stored as a default widget in the Model Dashboard, see Machine Master Data Panel section below.

Configuration

Configure the widget and store it on the Model Dashboard by following the steps below
For the Organization Dashboard, you have the widgets Machine Map and Machine List that show similar information.

It is highly recommended to adapt a Machine Page (Model Dashboard) centrally via the Machine Page Layout. If you need to configure the Machine Page for the selected machine only, proceed as follows:

  1. In the selected Machine Page, select Manage Layout > Add widgets.

  2. Select the desired widget. A preview will be shown.

  3. Click Apply. This forwards you to the widget configuration dialog with the options described below.

If you need to adapt the Organization Dashboard, select the desired dashboard configuration and click Edit > Add Edit button to open the widgets catalog, see also Add Widgets to the Organization Dashboard.

Location

Location tab
Figure 3: Location tab

The Location tab gives information about the machine's address and its Status and Update. Via the 3-dots you have options to copy and share the machine's location, see also Machines Overview.

Only if tracking is activated in Machine Master Data, location tracking is visible for the time range displayed above the map.

Note

Location data access must be set by an organization admin and is necessary to use this feature.

Contract Renewal

Contracts that are expiring soon are highlighted in the Machine Page within a banner on the top.
Depending on the user, the information in the banner changes:

  • As a user without at least Contract:Maintain permissions e.g. as a Machine Owner, you may only Request Renewal:

    Contract Renewal banner
    Figure 4: Contract Renewal banner

    Note

    This request will be displayed both on the OEM portal and in the digest email listing the soon expiring contracts.
    The eligible user may then renew the contract with Proemion. see below.

  • As an eligible user e.g. as the OEM, you are displayed the message that a renewal was requested:

    Contract Renewal requested
    Figure 5: Contract Renewal requested

    • Clicking Renew Contract, you will be forwarded to the Machine Contracts menu, where you can configure and confirm the Renew process for the selected machine:

      Renew Contracts
      Figure 6: Renew Contracts

      Note

      To renew an "active (canceled)" or terminated contract, you need Contract:Maintain permissions.

    • After successful renewal, a confirmation will be displayed in the Machine Contracts menu:

      Renew Contracts confirmed
      Figure 7: Renew Contracts confirmed

After clicking the link in the banner, it will disappear from the machine.

Weather Forecasts and Overlay

The Machine Master Data Panel displays the weather forecast and historical data for the machine geolocation.

Weather Forecasts and Overlay
Figure 8: Weather Forecasts and Overlay

Prerequisites

Weather Forecasts and Overlay is a specialized feature available in the DataPortal as part of Feature Switches
It should be noted that implementing this functionality requires additional Proemion resources including project setup, manual configuration, recurring services and costs.

Note

Contact Support or an FAE to discuss implementing Weather Forecasts and Overlay for your organization.

Note

Only users with the Organization: Admin permission set can manage weather forecasts and overlays.

Note

Location data access must be set by an organization admin and is necessary to use this feature.

Weather Overview

Available data is shown in the table:

Weather Item Unit
Temperature Degrees in °C
Wind speed Meters per second (m/s)
Humidity Percentage (%)
Air Pressure Hectopascal Pressure Unit (hPa)
Weather types clear

Maps Overlay

Note

This functionality is available via Feature Switch.

The Maps Overlay covers both the Map overlay and the Weather overlay options.

Map Overlay changes the view on the map:

  • Streets is the map view (default view).

Weather overlay additionally shows different aspects of the weather on the map.

The options can be combined as in the following examples:

In the map, select the Overlay Overlay icon icon to open the Maps Overlay menu. There, select one or more overlay options.

In the following example, we have selected the default Streets overlay and Wind direction overlay that shows the wind speed scale in the bottom right corner of the map:

Street with wind direction data overlay

Status and Update

Note

To display the latest address of the selected machine, please select the LOCATION tab first.

The Machine Master Data Panel displays the most recent location status update. However, this information may not always reflect the realtime status of the machine and so there are safeguards in place that indicate potentially misleading state data
The most recent location time exceeding 8 hours is flagged with a warning (yellow indicator).

Note

Location data access must be set by an organization admin and is necessary to view map location.

Location Time > 8 hours
Figure 13: Location Time > 8 hours

If the latest signal was received > 2 hours later than the most recent location update it is flagged with an alert (red indicator).

Latest Signal after Most Recent Location Update
