If you have Carrier assets in the Cold Chain View (CCV) application or the Orbcomm Transportation Platform (OTP), you can now opt to view these assets in Lynx Fleet. Lynx Fleet has integrated with OrbComm's OTP application, allowing you to view telematics from your OrbComm devices in Lynx Fleet to get a more comprehensive picture of your assets.
In this article:
Overview
The OrbComm/Lynx Fleet integration can be configured to pull telematics data for your assets from OTP into Lynx Fleet.
The matching between the two systems is done based on the telematics device serial number.
This data brought in for your assets from OrbComm can include location, speed, temperatures, setpoints, alarms, and additional data.
The Asset History of these assets in Lynx Fleet will start being written as of the time the integration and mapping is established.
Note: The assets must exist in Lynx Fleet in order for data from OrbComm to be pushed to them, so if you add new assets to fleet, you will need to work with Carrier to set them up in Lynx Fleet.
Establishing the Connection Between OTP & Lynx Fleet
If you have assets with OrbComm telematics devices and would like the data pulled into Lynx Fleet, please contact Carrier at lynx-support@carrier.com.
The Carrier team will work with you to identify your assets and establish the integration. If you had assets in the legacy Cold Chain View application, the data for those assets will need to be ported to OTP. This involves updating your devices to send data to OTP instead of CCV. Once this change is made, you will no longer see new data in CCV. Your historical data will still be available in CCV. The devices will send new data directly to OTP.
Once everything is configured in OTP, the data is then sent from OTP to Lynx Fleet once the integration is established.
The assets must exist in Lynx Fleet in order for data from OrbComm to be pushed to them, so if you add new assets to OrbComm you will need to work with Carrier to set them up in Lynx Fleet.
