IoT & Connectivity

Challenges Manufacturers of factory equipment often rely on manual processes to maintain adequate supply levels of consumables in equipment at customer sites. But a clipboard-and-pen process for ordering supplies are error prone, and can quickly grow wrought with problems that often go unreported until they affect assembly line production, resulting in unexpected costs—such as overnight shipping charges—and risking downtime, which ultimately leads to customer dissatisfaction. Solution One such manufacturer implemented ThingWorx to connect to equipment installed at customer sites, and created a custom web application using ThingWorx Foundation to remotely monitor supply levels. ThingWorx Industrial Connectivity provides the bi-directional connection to send data that is displayed in graphs on the web application created using ThingWorx Mashup Builder. Features of ThingWorx Analytics were used to generate alerts before maintenance problems affected production. Outcomes The manu

Digital Performance Management customers who are installing the version 1.2 of the solution within their environment ("on prem") are now able to configure and use the Time Loss Analytics functionality.  Previously, only customers of DPM v1.2 that were running in the PTC Cloud were able to utilize this feature.   For customers that have already installed DPM version 1.2, you do not need to install any updates to DPM or the ThingWorx platform.  You only need to perform a few additional configuration steps to enable Time Loss Analytics.  Please note that this functionality does require the installation of Analytics Server before configuring the functionality.  Below are links to deployment and configuration required to enable the Time Loss Analytics functionality:Deploying DPM Using Solution CentralDeploying DPM Using the PTC Software Downloads PageUpgrading DPM Using Solution CentralUpgrading DPM Using the PTC Software Downloads PageInitial DPM Administ

I have doubts how to solve a certain problem.I have big table of numbers in DATATABLE.- Each row may have a different date- I need to sum the numbers in the rows- Then take the arithmetic average of the numbers in the row- Then I need to be able to select the date (range) to calculate the average of all days(rows) in the selected range.I am wondering how I should go about this.How to divide the whole task into services? 

I am creating one generic service to return the infotable values as HTML codes in the format of string output. But unable to fetch the column values dynamically, for ex: my column names are stored in the array as ['col1', 'col2'], etc... If I pass these values in for loop(row.array[0]) to iterate the column values, the service returns undefined for the values. code:  const table = me.testTable; // columns: count, name let fieldNameArr = [];function createMainTable() {var fields = table.dataShape.fields;for (let fieldName in fields) {fieldNameArr.push(fieldName);}var cols = table.getFieldCount();var rows = table.rows.length;var drawTable = '<table>';for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {let row = table.rows[i];drawTable += '<tr>';for (var j = 0; j < cols; j++) {let fieldName = fieldNameArr[j];columnValue = row.fieldName;drawTable += '<td>' + columnValue + '</td>';}drawTable += '</tr>';}drawTable += '</table>';return drawT

Hi all,is it possible to access the SSO (Single sign on) configuration via REST? Thanks in advance. 

Hi community, hoping you are well, I am writing to ask you about the capabilities of Thingworx Analytics.In the field of predictive maintenance, one of the key objectives is the detection of failure conditions before they present themselves. Concerning that, we'd like to know how that can be implemented in Thingworx Analytics.For example, say you want to predict a pump failure. Failure conditions are known (e.g. zero pressure), and past data is labeled with a boolean "ok/fail" for each timestep. The main objective is not to know the status of the pump given the current conditions, but to predict whether the pump will fail in the short term, given the current trends in the data.We've previously developed a model which can give an estimate of the current condition of a machine. The model was trained using historical time-series data. However, we're unsure of the way forward for developing a predictive model, which can give an estimate of the probability of a failure condition in the futu

Hi all,The goal is to be able to shutdown and restart the application or the server through a internal service. Is it possible ? Thanks.

Hi Team, Need suggestion how we can prevent Dragging and opening a Menu tab of Menu widget in a new Browser window. Is it possible to apply a CSS or any other way for this? Thanks,Ravi

Hey there, Any updates on the Article - CS323245. its regarding using both line and bars in a single chart inThingworx version 9.3. Any workarounds for the same, apart from label chart?. Also when the label chart widget will be no longer functional in TWX 9.3. it's made legacy in 9.3 but still functional. Thanks,Sunil

The mashup was created using 9.0 and the column displayed View until we upgraded to 9.3.4 and now displays [object Object]. The column renderer is set as follows; Column Renderer as Hyperlink, Format as New Page (_blank), Hyperlink Text Source as Fixed, Fixed Link Text as View. 

Good day everyone! Has anyone integrated MS Teams with Thingworx? You need to create a service similar to Twillio to be able to send notification to MS Teams. What is the template for implementing this service? Is it enough to just use the API to create a connection?

Re:  previous post   Hi, If you're able to accomplish please let me know. I am also in the same need. 🙂Thanks. 

Hello,I want to draw a map for a warehouse of our store. in the map i willl show some data (number people in real time, assets data...) .I have already static image of the indoor map but i want to use a 3d map with dynamic behavior.I attached an example file for what i want to have as a final result.I am a newbie in thingworx and i don't know where to start to achieve this purpose.Any help / suggestion are welcome Thank you.  

Hello, I have a Thingworx application installed on a development environment and using the IoTHub connector. We are able to receive files from Azure through the IoT Hub connector.On a future production environment we are not able / allowed to open ports on the Thingworx machine. The communication to Azure should be possible, but no port opened from azure to the connector. Will the IoTHub connector work correctly? Do you know which ports should be opened to use the IoT Hub connector?

Can the speed (response time) of a query done in a DBMS such as an SQL Server be impacted by what's going on in the system where the server is running? This article suggests that the response time is likely to increase when a few Windows programs that regularly inspect and clean the system, as well as analyze data received from the network, are operating. Is that correct?Thanks.

I'm working on use case,there are 20 Plants. each plant contains 100+ equipment with each equipment contain 5-6 properties.now I want to log each property at one minute interval timestamp.I am logging property by using stream.shall I create 100+ stream for each equipment 1:1 ratio or 20 stream for 20 plants one stream for one plant.database is PostgreSQL.If I query historical data in future it should not affect on performance.please suggest best way to do this.  

Hi,Is it possible to run the EMS (wsems.exe) without any command prompt window.When we run EMS using wsems.exe file it opens a command prompt window to show the logs, but we want to run EMS without any window. User can check the logs in the log file when ever he/she wants but the command prompt window should not be available for the user to close.
