EPCIS-IoT-Parser (Deprecated)

Refer to tiguitto / TrackNTrace Landing Page for usage of Telegraf to parse EPCIS and IOT Information into InfluxDB

This script parses the incoming data from IoT Sensor Nodes using EPCIS-IoT-Arduino and adds the additional Meta-data as Tags for InfluxDB.

Hardware

• This script can be run on any hardware that supports EPCIS Information handling from RFID gates as well as an MQTT Broker.

• Currently the script is used on Nordic ID AR82 RFID Reader

Usage on Nordic ID AR82

1. Login into the Nordic ID AR82 reader via it's IP address or mDNS address e.g. arMACADDRESS.local

2. On the Nordic ID AR82 create a new application (admin rights required) by clicking the Applications Icon

   

3. Create a Blank Application and name it epcisiotparser

   

   This should create a password which will be used later

   

4. Log into the reader via ssh and the application credentials:

    ssh -l epcisiotparser <IP_Address_of_AR82_Reader>
   

   Password should be one generated via the App.

5. Copy the contents of the epcisiotparser/bin folder to the present working directory on the reader.

    $ pwd # on reader
    /mnt/userdata/apps/epcisiot/bin
   

   Copy the epcisiotreader/bin to the reader using scp:

    $ # on your pc
    $ scp epcisiotparser/bin/* epcisiotparser@<AR82_IP_Address>:/mnt/userdata/apps/epcisiotparser/bin
   

   Copy the epcisiotreader/properties to respective directory on reader:

    $ scp epcisiotreader/properties/* epcisiotparser@<AR82_IP_Address>:/mnt/userdata/apps/epcisiotparser/properties
   

6. Install the Dependencies using:

    pip install --user -r requirements.txt
   

   If installation fails, install them manually using:

    pip install --user toml \
                        pymongo \
                        influxdb \
                        paho-mqtt
   

7. Change the config.toml file with information about Document-Driven Database, Sensor Database (InfluxDB) and MQTT Broker

8. Check the MQTT Broker settings on the Reader by clicking on Services in the Web App.

   

9. Change/Check the WLAN Access Point Settings in Networking Tab:

   

10. Start the Application from the Application List and Observe the Logs in System Logging Tab. Use the dropdown menu to find the logs of the app under apps/epcisiotparser/epcisiotparser.log
