Factory Install

The Factory Install process is designed to link devices to assets at the factory and send data using a hub. This method is primarily used for WiFi Vista installations, ensuring seamless connectivity and provisioning.

Layout​

Factory Install

The Factory Install screen is organized into four main sections, each guiding the user through a specific part of the installation workflow:

1. Screen Elements​

Factory Install

1. Asset Type:​

Select the type of asset being installed (e.g., Vehicle, Equipment, Container) from a dropdown list. This determines the configuration and provisioning requirements for the device.

2. Asset Serial #:​

Enter the unique serial number of the asset, or use the built-in scanner to quickly capture the serial number from a barcode or QR code. This links the device to a specific asset for tracking and management.

3. Vista Serial #:​

Enter or scan the serial number of the Vista device being installed. This ensures the correct device is provisioned and associated with the asset.

4. Hub Serial #:​

Enter or scan the serial number of the Hub (if applicable). This links the Hub to the asset and Vista device, enabling communication and data aggregation.

5. Hub Location:​

Get the assigned location of the hub which is auto populated from the server.

2. Options​

Factory Install

1. Create new asset:​

Enable this option if the asset does not already exist in the system. The app will create a new asset record and associate it with the entered serial number and details.

2. Install and take picture:​

If this option is enabled, the app will prompt the user to capture a photo of the installed device or asset during the installation process. This image is stored for documentation and verification purposes.

3. Status​

Factory Install

Monitor real-time feedback and validation:

1. Assignment and Provisioning Status:​

Displays the current status of the asset, hub, and Vista device assignments. Indicates whether each component has been successfully linked and provisioned.

2. Hub:​

Displays the current status of the hub:

  • Found: Hub detected and available for assignment
  • Already Assigned: Hub is already linked to a device
  • Assigned: Hub has been successfully assigned

3. Hub Ping:​

Shows the timestamp of the latest successful ping from the hub.

4. Vista:​

Indicates the provisioning status of Vista:

  • Provisioned: Vista has been successfully configured
  • Not Found: Vista is not detected
  • Already Linked: Vista is already associated with a device

5. Vista Ping:​

Displays the latest communication timestamp received from Vista.

4. Actions​

Perform key installation and management tasks:

Factory Install

1. Install:​

Initiates the installation and provisioning workflow. The app validates all entered information, configures the device, and updates the system records.

2. View Image:​

Allows the user to view the captured installation image (if taken). This is useful for quality assurance and future reference.

3. Sync:​

When click on sync it will run the background service to execute the Take Picture command, download and upload images to the server.

By following this structured, step-by-step process, factory personnel can ensure that each device is fully configured, validated, and documented before leaving the factory. This supports end-to-end traceability, reduces deployment errors, and upholds high standards of quality control throughout the device lifecycle.
