Getting started with the twinzo portal

After you've registered and created your user account, the next step is to set up your branch on the Twinzo platform. If you are a self-onboarded user, go to platform.twinzo.eu. For enterprise customers, use portal.twinzo.eu. This setup will enable you to access and analyze data from various sources like sensors, datasheets, and other devices including smartphones with our tConnect app, RTLS beacons for localization, barcode scanners for the Automatic Ordering System, and more. This comprehensive tool will help your company effectively manage and utilize your data.

First steps to set up your twinzo portal

1. Set up your branch information

In the Branches section, you can define the location of your digital twin. This location will appear on the loading screen where the Earth model is displayed. Additionally, this geographical information is utilized in our localization systems for areas that our RTLS Beacons do not cover.

2. Create your sectors

In the Sectors section, follow these instructions to set up a new sector within your digital twin’s layout. This setup will allow you to later define specific barriers, paths, areas, and more within the sector.

3. Define barriers

Barriers are crucial for accurately tracking the position of your devices within your digital twin. If barriers are not configured correctly, you may notice visual glitches in how devices move in the Digital Twin app. Make sure to set them up carefully to ensure smooth tracking.

4. Prepare your layers

Create several to manage visibility within the Digital Twin app. Layers help filter out elements that are not needed at the moment, ensuring that your view remains uncluttered and focused on what’s relevant.

5. Visualize your working areas and paths in the app

Setting up (areas or points of interest) in the Digital Twin app enhances navigation. By using color formatting for each area, you can quickly locate specific spots on the map. Additionally, in the event of a ManDown incident, our ManDown system uses these defined areas to provide a more precise location of an employee.

Create to assist in navigation around your facility, especially useful for truck drivers or guests. This feature works well in conjunction with the Truck Calling System, guiding drivers efficiently through your factory layout.

6. Let the portal know how you work

Set up information in the portal to streamline how you view your data in the analytics section. By defining different shifts, you can filter your data more effectively, allowing for quicker and easier access to information specific to each shift.

7. Add your sensors (ours, yours, or just sensory data alone)

are devices that collect various types of data, such as temperature, humidity, parcel weight, and more, to provide valuable insights into your operational environment. Our Data Module is also classified as a sensor. To integrate these sensors into your system, simply follow the detailed step-by-step instructions provided here. This will ensure that your sensors are properly set up to continuously monitor and record the necessary data for your operations.

8. Add your devices with the tConnect app installed

play a crucial role in your operation by tracking personnel, truck drivers, and managing Automated Ordering System (AOS) orders. We use these devices to track the Real-Time Location System (RTLS) positions of every forklift and employee, both inside and outside the building. This tracking capability extends to any device running Android, whether it's a phone, tablet, or scanner. Additionally, these devices are integral to our AOS, facilitating the creation, viewing, and communication of orders from locations like the warehouse directly to individual workers.

9. Add RTLS Beacons to your portal

are essential for locating your devices within the building. We use Bluetooth beacons as stationary points that emit Bluetooth signals to nearby devices. These devices then use the signals to calculate their current positions. This location data is integrated and displayed in the Digital Twin app, allowing you to see the precise position of each device in real-time.

10. Set up your Automatic Ordering System (AOS)

In the section, you can establish connections between senders and receivers, configure packages and items for ordering, and create work roles for users who will be utilizing the Automated Ordering System (AOS). This setup allows for streamlined communication and order processing within your organization, ensuring that everything from user roles to specific order details is precisely defined and managed.
