ThingWorx is an IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) development platform acquired by PTC in 2014 and merged with Axeda Machine Cloud in the same year, to expand PTC's development offerings.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/eL/DZ/JCNH3VEST2W8.jpegPTCThinworx for the things you want to understand (or at least to watch, to start with)2017-10-31T16:28:20.858ZSupport analytical and monitoring application development for a leading production company. The main task will be to cover industrial IoT solutions. The main task is to design and build reporting processes, mechanism for forwarding data, their combinations in reports and enable visibility in perfomance on the production line level. Initial use case comprises selected shop floor IT systems.,Aggregation of data from production controllers
Drill down to details on a one device level
Quick monitoring of extraordinary behavior of a monitored component,Until now can not think of any. Data acquisition was a problem initially - solved by connection server and splunk.,10,We do not track ROI on this client project. No negative imapacts - this is a monitoring initiative, we do not plan or control the production.
The IoT stream just started in 2016.
Successful is a use case in preventive maintenance (health monitoring of production assets on selected production lines).
A potential improvement achieved in area of product painting / we aim at saving rework on the paint shop line (a percentage of products has to travel on not-optimial routes, due to outages on some robot work places),,JIRA Software, Microsoft Power BI, Atlassian Confluence, Google Analytics Premium, Google Tag Manager, Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect,,2,Monitoring live production data on selected produciton lines
Verification of changes to the implemented production procedures / new equipment set-up
Reporting regular daily (per shift), weekly and monthly data
Finding correlation of monitored machine data with hypothesis on why ïnefficiency happens, why a rework is necessary, what preceded an outage of a work position (forwarder, robotic workplace component),Non technically: the shopfloor management now wants to monitor all systems. Which is not feasible, since data are not possible to obtain from all controllers. But a nice mind shift.,Enlarge thingworx footprint on other production lines, connect more sensors/devices/data forwarders etc.,10,No,Price

Analyst Reports,I would assess how mobile friendly the solution is. A mobile friendly app should be easy to create, deploy and maintain. Not the case unfortunatelly.Viktor MulacWaterWorX - a platform built on ThingWorx2017-05-30T18:46:02.108ZWe are a specialist systems integrator working in the water sector, developing water and wastewater treatment and distribution system solutions in the industrial, environmental and municipal sectors. I became interested in Thingworx just as the IOT was emerging as a significant transformation technology in industrial automation. I have a background as a senior engineer in the specification of industry 3.0 water monitoring control and automation.
When I first met the Thingworx founding team in late 2011, I was blown away by the performance and concept underlying ThingWorx. As a domain expert, I no longer had to express my requirements in a classical requirements spec, I could develop it in an agile way, continuously improving the data model as my understanding of the application became more sophisticated. The ability to then build a mashup in the same time it took to develop a PowerPoint slide deck was a revelation. I discovered later that I still need an FRS but it became a strategic roadmap rather than customised local solution.
Since those early days, the platform has gone from strength to strength, and now it is past its critical mass and is attracting a strong partner community. As a small, but long-standing partner, I'm confident that the future of our WaterWorX platform will accelerate due to our reliance on ThingWorx to power our smart water applications.,The ThingWorx modeling is simple enough to explain to non-specialists but very powerful in its expression.
Mashup builder and analytics utilities are strong and the latest version automates some of the complexity, although I haven't used them yet.
As the Kepware tools and libraries have become more integrated, the platform has an unrivaled set of interface solutions.,The MQTT interface needs improvement, its crashed during development of new entities on a frequent basis.
The standard time series and trend tools are very basic and dont compare well with Top-end historians but its possible with some relative easy interfacing to use 3rd party applications.
Care, forethought and experience is required when building complex applications, it's difficult to delete entities once the network becomes large and complex. N+Maintaining synchronicity between multiple dev and productions systems has to be carefully managed.,10,Our v-business is built on ThingWorx
High impact.Laurie ReynoldsEasy and simple architecture and deployment tool of IoT platform2016-09-02T20:19:55.437ZIt is being used to remote monitor industrial printers on the AWS cloud.,Easy to design web pages for special purposes or for customers
Easy to configure and manage an IoT device
Simple solution for connectivity,Limitation of install edge program on a custom platform such as Windows CE
Difficult to manage a complicated system
Difficult to use with custom program written in C#
Graphical language -- not programming language,9,Good for quick deployment of customer specific control of IoT
Good for quick test of IoT platform
Difficult to debug complicate system,,Amazon Web Services, VMware Player, JIRA Service DeskWonoh Kim
