Hi Guys, I need to synchronize the calculation period of KPIs. Does anyone know how to do that?  I.e. If I set 60m calculation period I need to start at whole, : 10:00, 11:00 etc. For all the assets. Calculation period itself is not important, only start time is.  Anyone?

Hi Developers,   I'm currently working on a use case where the OEE has to be displayed as shown below. By default in Production Advisor app OEE and its related kpi's can be viewed over a week.   Is there any quick way to extrapolate the same feature to months? Also please suggest an high level design for this use case. I've planned to use DataTable to store kpi's against dates and project it in the chart.   Thanks and Regards, Saran

Hi,    We are implementing the Operator Advisor with an actual client, using the OA as an accelerator of our project. We still have some questions around deployment, which are not very clear to me in the guide.   What is the recommended way of doing a OA deployment? I mean we will have allot of additional tables and AP's added to the current data model. What are the best practices on how to update the database when we go from one environment to another? Should we write a service that updates the entire databasemodel?   Thanks for the help on this,    Jasper

Hi @SebB ,   Per this topic:   We're currently using KepServerEX for the MQTT connection.    In Kepware we have data tag in which one string item is in the format as shown below.   { "customer": "ABC", "site": "ABC", "department": "ABC", "assettype": "A", "asset": "A01", "description": "Make or Model", "tags": [ { "component": "PLC", "tag": "MachineOn", "value": 1, "unit": "1/0-Running/Stopped" }, { "component": "PLC", "tag": "Length", "value": 11.99, "unit": "km" }, { "component": "PLC", "tag": "Temperature", "value": 45, "unit": "C" } ] } Since its in this json format i'm unable to use the OOTB Configuration App to directly map Machine status and other properties to the Asset. I've written a Subscription service to parse and map the corresponding properties.   Is there any better workaround for this. Can this heavy lifting part done at kepware side itself.   Regards, saran 

I am getting these errors in the Thingworx logs every second for one of my OPC Servers.   Bind request failed: [message: BindRequestMessage [requestId: 249229, method: BINDREQUEST, names: [FINDBZOPC1-GW]], error:{}]   Any idea about what could be the cause?   Let me know,

The "IndustrialGateway" Thing Template has several of its properties logged, which is resulting in our "value_stream" database table getting loaded full of needless data (for our use).  Is there a way to turn this off, or is the solution to create a schedule job that purges this data?   This is mostly a problem on our dev environments that are using MS SQL Express.

Hi, I am looking for extension - RemoteAccessExtension:0.0.0 for download. Please help. Thank You !!!

Hi ,  I knows there're several pre-built  manufacturing apps extensions.  Are these apps for production or demo ? What are the marketing positioning of these apps? Should we suggest the customer to use the apps if it meet there needs , let's 70%~80% ? I notice the customized guide doc for the apps , but I still feel not so confidence for the customizing.  Is there any plan to publish the source code of the apps so that everyone can use it as a prototype for quick development ?   Regards, Sean

I am trying out Manufacturing Apps. All data is from KEPWare. I have set up performance metrics. Good Parts and Bad Parts count both come from Kepware and looks right. The total count is calculated using Good+Bad and looks right under Performance tab. Everything updates smoothly. However, keep getting Quality numbers all over the place from 2000% to 60% The Total Count under "Monitored Properties" is wrong, and is different from Total Count when setting up "Performance Metrics". Please let me know how to fix this problem. KPI is calculated every 5 mins.

Hi Team,   ThingWorx Manufacturing and Service Apps 8.3.0 & Operator Advisor Beta are Available for Download!   In the above article you had mentioned under Asset Advisor category there is "Equipment Export/Import via Excel" feature available.Currently i'm working on a functionality where the user will upload an excel file (not csv) which i have to then parse and show it in an infotable.   I have checked through the community and i came to know about the "Data Export Extension" which can export the infotable as excel file but this is opposite to my use case. Since import via Excel feature is available in Asset Advisor can you explain how i can leverage this feature i.e. Thing name and service description, etc.   Thanks and Regards, Saran

Hi,    I'm going through the proces of understanding the entire datamodel of OA. I've looked into ProcessingResourceClass. Why does this table have a field called "ThingName"? In my understanding ProcessingResourceClass is just a class for a recource like tools, equipment, workstation type, ... but not an instance in itself.    Jasper
