Field Operations & IoT IntegrationPurpose
1.2. Streamline response workflows for onsite machinery breakdowns, preventative issues, or abnormal analytics trends, ensuring timely technician dispatch and incident tracking.
1.3. Integrate disparate sensor ecosystems and asset management databases into a single maintenance support pipeline for agricultural operations.
Trigger Conditions
2.2. Pre-set anomaly or threshold breach via remote monitoring data streams (e.g., vibration, power, soil moisture).
2.3. Receipt of automated alert or warning signal from IoT device firmware, cloud dashboards, or SCADA logs.
2.4. Scheduled maintenance flags or predictive analytics indicating likely imminent failures.
2.5. Manual technician input from mobile field inspection apps.
Platform Variants
• Rule Action: Topic rule to trigger Lambda function on abnormal ingress message (e.g., MQTT topic filter; sample: {"sql": "SELECT * FROM 'sensor/field/notify' WHERE temperature > 40"})
3.2. Azure IoT Hub
• Event Routes: Route device telemetry with anomaly to Logic App (“when device-to-cloud message received: condition = errorCode == ‘ER42’”).
3.3. Google Cloud Pub/Sub
• Subscription: Listen for fault messages; trigger Cloud Function (“Event pattern: attributes.severity=‘critical’”).
3.4. Siemens MindSphere
• Event Handler: Configure Alarm/Event Service to POST alarming payloads to ticket endpoint (API: /api/almevent/v3/alarm-events).
3.5. IBM Maximo
• Integration Module: Use REST API to create new service requests (/oslc/os/mxsr; payload: {“description”: “Sensor Fault”, ...}).
3.6. ServiceNow
• Inbound REST API: Auto-create incident with pre-mapped values (“POST /api/now/table/incident” with IoT detail fields).
3.7. SAP Asset Intelligence Network
• Event-Based Integration: Webhook on failure event triggers maintenance notification creation (API: /api/v1/notification).
3.8. Jira Service Management
• REST API: POST new ticket with sensor info (“/rest/servicedeskapi/request”).
3.9. Freshservice
• Automation Rule: Email-to-ticket with custom parser for JSON IoT field data intake (“When email received from monitoringtool@...”).
3.10. Zendesk Support
• Ticket API: Create ticket with fields populated from device and error snapshot (“POST /api/v2/tickets”).
3.11. PagerDuty
• Event API: Trigger incident on critical device alert (“POST /v2/enqueue; event_action: trigger”).
3.12. Splunk
• Alert Action: HTTP Event Collector sends incident JSON to maintenance endpoint (“Enable custom webhook action”).
3.13. Honeywell Forge
• API Integration: Forward real-time alarms as POST requests to internal ticketing system (API endpoint: /v1/alarmincident).
3.14. SCADA Integrations (e.g., Inductive Automation Ignition)
• Alarm Notification Pipeline: Directly push error event to external RESTful endpoint (“Script block: system.net.httpPost”).
3.15. Device42
• Webhooks: Device anomaly hooks POST incident requests to chosen ticketing API (“Webhook payload: incident_type: hardware_failure”).
3.16. Notion
• Integration: Create new database entry for maintenance task via API on error detected (“POST /v1/pages; fill device field”).
3.17. monday.com
• Automation: “When webhook received, create item in board” for new maintenance case, filling device and alert columns.
3.18. Asana
• API Integration: Add task to maintenance project on each sensor report (“POST /api/1.0/tasks; task data from IoT payload”).
3.19. Microsoft Power Automate
• Flow: Triggered by HTTP request with IoT alert content, creates maintenance item in SharePoint List or Dynamics 365.
3.20. Slack
• Workflow: Create incident channel/message when IoT alert webhook received (“New channel: #maint-ticket-{device_id}”).
