🧩 Project Overview

This platform monitors Renie smart bins in real time via secured REST APIs. When a bin is detected offline, the platform automatically logs it, alerts the Point-of-Contact, tracks responses, creates service tickets, plans optimized routes for technicians, and escalates unresolved cases through management tiers.

🎯 Objectives & Goals

• Eliminate manual monitoring of IoT bin health
• Guarantee zero missed offline events
• Automate escalation, servicing, and routing
• Maintain 100% SLA compliance
• Provide full auditability via database logs

✅ Acceptance Criteria

Step-by-Step Workflow Execution

1. Telemetry Ingestion
   n8n executes scheduled jobs that query Renie’s IoT API to fetch current bin heartbeat, connectivity, and status signals.
2. Offline Classification
   Returned data is normalized and evaluated against outage thresholds. Bins failing to respond are marked offline.
3. Incident Persistence
   Each offline event is written to Supabase with timestamp, bin ID, location, POC, and SLA deadline.
4. POC Notification
   Twilio and SMTP nodes immediately notify the responsible Point-of-Contact with incident details.
5. Response Tracking
   Webhook listeners capture acknowledgments and update Supabase records in real time.
6. Reminder Automation
   If no acknowledgment is received, reminder workflows are triggered at configured SLA intervals.
7. Service Task Generation
   Unresolved incidents automatically generate tickets in Monday.com with location, urgency, and SLA metadata.
8. Route Optimization
   When multiple bins are offline, Google Maps API calculates optimal technician routes based on distance and priority.
9. Technician Dispatch
   Telegram bot sends technicians their tasks, navigation links, and escalation context.
10. Resolution & Closure
    Once bins are restored online, Supabase records are updated, tickets closed, and SLA metrics archived.

SLA Governance Logic

Time Elapsed	System Action
0–5 minutes	Initial alert to POC
15 minutes	Reminder to POC
30 minutes	Monday.com ticket creation
45 minutes	Manager escalation
60 minutes	Critical escalation to leadership

🧯 Troubleshooting & Debugging

• Twilio failures → check API SID & auth token
• Supabase inserts failing → validate table schema
• Monday.com tasks not created → validate board ID
• Maps API errors → ensure geocoding quota active
• n8n stuck workflows → restart execution engine

🧪 Testing & Validation

ID	Area	Test	Expected Result
T1	Detection	Simulate offline bin	Record created in Supabase
T2	Alerts	Trigger Twilio SMS	POC receives message
T3	Escalation	No response for 15 mins	Manager notified
T4	Routing	Multiple bins offline	Optimized route sent
