BEFORE YOU GO LIVE - SYSTEM SETTINGS

  • Updated

In this article, you will learn how to access, navigate and configure Warehouse IoT System Settings that must be defined prior to going live. 

INTRODUCTION

Before your site is ready to go into Registered ID (Go Live) mode with your Powerfleet Enterprise Vehicle Management System (VMS), you may need to make a few configuration changes to your Warehouse IoT application. In this document, you will learn how to access and navigate Warehouse IoT System Settings and understand which settings must be defined prior to going live.

This document may refer to systems settings that may not require configuration because your organization did not purchase certain modules as part of your VMS. If you are the System Administrator/Site Champion at your facility and believe the system is not reflecting the modules included in your license, contact your VMS dealer or assigned I.D. Systems Program Management representative.

If you are a Warehouse IoT user preparing your system for go live and you have questions regarding the modules your organization is licensed for use, contact the site’s System Administrator/Site Champion.

SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEMS SETTINGS

Before your site is ready to go live with the system, you need to make a few preliminary configurations to your Warehouse IoT application.

  • Navigate to the Warehouse IoT Login page: https://apps.id-systems.com.
  • In the User Name field, enter your username (typically your work email address).

LoginPage

  • Click Next.
  • Enter your password in the Password field.

Next button.

  • Click Forgot Password if you need to reset your password.

  • Click Login.

  • On the Home screen, click the down arrow next to the Cog User-added image icon at the top of the page in the header menu.

  • Click System Settings.

Cog Icon

  • The Systems Setting page will show fields with default values. The following settings have been configured with default values:

L I C E N S E
The License section is populated by read-only fields that correspond with your license key settings and allows you to review which features are enabled (checked boxes) or disabled (unchecked boxes).

S E R V E R

  • Client Alias fields
  • Time Zone

V E H I C L E S

  • Languages
  • Login Options
  • Displays current login usage statistics on VAC

WAM (if applicable)

  • Data
  • Location
  • Data Rate
  • ​Region

WI-FI(if applicable)

  • Type
  • DNS Name
  • IP Address

  • Port

  • To configuring settings, click Edit, at the bottom of the section you want to amend.

Edit button

  • Once you have assigned and configured all requirements and recommended systems settings, click Save.

Save button.

NOTE: Read Warehouse IoT System Settings for detailed information on each of the system settings.

CHECKLIST

Prior to the system going live, the following checklist values must be set:

  • Safety compliance type
  • Safety compliance period

If a safety compliance checklist is set to be dependent on shifts (e.g., OSHA by Shift) then the corresponding shifts must be defined prior to go-live. Otherwise, the system will not know when to prompt operators to complete their checklists.

Additional Resources:

IMPACT MANAGEMENT

Vehicle impact sensors automatically calibrate based on their aggregate data collected over time. Vehicle activity, operator behavior and site environment are among the variable factors that inform the intelligent impact management process. Therefore, it is recommended that the default Impact Management settings are not adjusted until the system has been in use for a few weeks after go-live and the system has had time to automatically adjust severity levels based on actual vehicle events. 

Additional Resources:

SHIFTS

If you intend to use Warehouse IoT to analyze performance data by shift, run shift-based reports, set up safety checklists dependent on shifts (e.g., OSHA by Shift) or perform any other system functions that rely on shifts to be defined, you must configure shifts so the system can perform these functions.
NOTE: Shifts my not be configured to overlap and must have a unique name. 

Additional Resources:

VEHICLES

As part of the Go Live event, you will need to set vehicle field, Access Control Mode, to Registered ID.
