Machine Tracking¶
Machine Tracking enables you to track the route and signal values of a machine for a specific time-frame
The machine route is represented as connected geo positions on a map. Signal values are displayed as graph data points that correspond to a geo marker on the map.
Machine Tracking is accessible via the marker icon 
in the Machine Master Data widget, which is usually to be found in the Machine Page.
Note
Location history access must be set by an organization admin and is necessary to use this feature.
Configuration¶
-
Click the marker icon
in Machine Master Data to open the machine tracking page.

Note
The number of allowed waypoints may be limited on the map. A higher resolution view of the path is possible by limiting the displayed time range.

Click Apply to track the machine route on the map.
!!! note Additionally, it is possible to select a signal which can be visualised along the track. There are two options. The first option is the visualisation with a Gradient and the second option is to create a Chart in parallel.
