1. A computing device configured to facilitate provisioning a local analytics device to interact with a remote computing system on behalf of an asset coupled to the local analytics device, the computing device comprising:
- at least one wireless network interface configured to (1) communicatively couple the computing device to the remote computing system via a first communication path that includes a wide-area network and (2) communicatively couple the computing device to the local analytics device via a second communication path, wherein the local analytics device is coupled to one or more on-board systems of the asset;
at least one processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the computing device to;
in response to transmitting an account credential to the remote computing system, receive, from the remote computing system via the at least one wireless network interface, an asset-management credential and one or more asset identifiers, wherein each asset identifier corresponds to a given asset associated with a customer account;
receive, from the local analytics device via the at least one wireless network interface, an asset signature, wherein the asset signature is indicative of a configuration of the asset;
based on the one or more asset identifiers and the asset signature, determine that the asset is associated with the customer account;
determine that a provisioning permission is associated with the asset-management credential;
based on (1) determining that the asset is associated with the customer account and (2) determining that the provisioning permission is associated with the asset-management credential, transmit, to the local analytics device via the at least one wireless network interface, a data-management credential for enabling the local analytics device to perform one or more operations on behalf of the asset.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable to cause a computing device configured to facilitate provisioning a local analytics device to interact with a remote computing system on behalf of an asset coupled to the local analytics device, wherein the computing device comprises at least one wireless network interface configured to (1) communicatively couple the computing device to the remote computing system via a first communication path that includes a wide-area network and (2) communicatively couple the computing device to the local analytics device via a second communication path, wherein the local analytics device is coupled to one or more on-board systems of the asset, and wherein the instructions are executable to cause the computing device to:
-
in response to transmitting an account credential to the remote computing system, receive, from the remote computing system via the at least one wireless network interface of the computing device, an asset-management credential and one or more asset identifiers, wherein each asset identifier corresponds to a given asset associated with a customer account; receive, from the local analytics device via the at least one wireless network interface of the computing device, an asset signature, wherein the asset signature is indicative of a configuration of the asset; based on the one or more asset identifiers and the asset signature, determine that the asset is associated with the customer account; determine that a provisioning permission is associated with the asset-management credential; based on (1) determining that the asset is associated with the customer account and (2) determining that the provisioning permission is associated with the asset-management credential, transmit, to the local analytics device via the at least one wireless network interface of the computing device, a data-management credential for enabling the local analytics device to perform one or more operations on behalf of the asset. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
