IT infrastructure
Servers, storage, networks, edge computing and the platform foundation required to run the environment.
Connected technology environment
Make the parts operate as one system.
Integration connects telematics, vision, software and IT infrastructure around the tracking or traceability outcome.

Four integration layers
The operating environment behind the signal.
Tracking and traceability only work when the surrounding technology stays connected, responsive and dependable.
Telematics integration
Devices, sensors, gateways and vehicle data connected to tracking and traceability workflows.
Vision inspection
Cameras, lighting, optics and processing that verify presence, count, labels, packaging and condition.
Software integration
APIs, business applications and operating workflows that receive events and support action.
Vision within integration
Add verification where identity is not enough.
Machine vision can confirm whether the right item is present, complete, correctly labelled and within specification. The result can become part of the traceability record.
Integration flow
From field event to business response.
The architecture must move information reliably through each layer without losing context.
Field technology
Telematics units, readers, cameras, sensors and operator inputs capture the event.
Edge and connectivity
Local processing and networks keep the information moving and the response timely.
Platform and data
Applications apply rules, preserve history and organise status around the operation.
Business workflow
Alerts, records and integrations place the outcome where action must happen.
Integration is successful when the technology disappears and the operation becomes clearer.
What must work together?
Share the devices, systems and operational event that need one connected architecture.
