Importing objects from a WLP file

The import from WLP file feature in PILOT is designed to help clients who previously used the Wialon system.
Before starting the import, let’s clarify the file types you will be working with:
  • WLP files store the basic information about an object: its name, type, and characteristics
  • WLN files contain the full history of movements and sensor readings for an object over a certain period

How to import objects from Wialon:

  • Download the list of objects with parameters from Wialon
    2. Upload the objects into PILOT:
