The Data Ingest API provides a streamlined method for ingesting asset data into the Trackunit Iris platform.
This RESTful API is designed for efficient time-series data transmission, prioritizing accuracy for both historical and real-time asset information within the Iris ecosystem.
Supports ingestion of multiple data types:
- Machine Insights
- Locations
- Advances Sensors
Subscription requirement
The Data Ingest API is only available to customers on IrisX. Learn more about the IrisX subscription
Early access
Please be aware that Data Ingest API is currently in an early access, available only upon request.
Use Cases
The Data Ingest API is particularly valuable for:
- Systems requiring minimal data latency
- Recovery scenarios requiring backfilling of data
- Migration projects involving bulk historical data import
- Telematics data integrations where data feeds are insufficient
Concepts
Assets
Assets are the core entities in the Trackunit ecosystem, representing various machines, equipment, tools, and attachments:
- Each asset has a unique identifier in the system
- Assets can have zero to many telematics devices associated with them
- Learn more about assets
Machine Insights
Machine Insights are standardized metrics that provide comprehensive operational data about assets:
- Conform to ISO 15143-3 standards plus Trackunit-specific extensions
- Provide normalized data across different asset types, enabling standardized reporting and analytics
- Support both real-time monitoring and historical trend analysis
- Learn more about Machine Insights
Advanced Sensors
Advanced Sensors represent custom, non-standardized metrics that capture equipment-specific data points:
- Identified by unique sensor IDs within the Trackunit platform
- Designed to accommodate proprietary or specialized measurements not covered by standard Machine Insights
- Ideal for capturing manufacturer-specific CAN bus data or equipment-specific readings
Locations
Geographical position information for assets:
- Includes latitude, longitude, and accuracy radius
- Timestamped for tracking movement history
Requirements
- User's account has visibility access of the assets
- All assets already exists within Trackunit Iris Platform
- Advanced Sensors already exists within Trackunit Iris Platform
