Connect Your Data to ThingWorx
In the world of IoT application development, connectivity refers to the infrastructure and protocols which connect devices to the cloud or network. Edge devices handle the interface between the physical world and the cloud. ThingWorx provides you with several different tools for connecting to the ThingWorx platform. Your decision on which connectivity method to pick will be dependent on your individual use case.

REST API
Use the REST API to Connect Low-Capability Devices to ThingWorx
Using the ThingWorx REST API is an easy way for low-capability devices to connect with the ThingWorx platform and push data to the platform. Any edge device that can make an HTTP POST can read and update properties or execute services on the ThingWorx platform.
Use REST API to Access ThingWorx
Connect an Arduino Developer Board
Edge SDKs
Connect natively to ThingWorx using an AlwaysOn protocol SDK. Secure, embeddable, and easily deployable communications designed for connecting sensors, devices and equipment across any network topology and any communication scenario.
SDKs are available for Java, C, .net and allow you to connect your devices to ThingWorx with the AlwaysOn protocol. Using the Edge SDKs will give you all the flexibility you need to meet your application's requirements and build robust, secure, full-featured edge integrations and gateways for any platform.
ThingWorx Edge SDKs
Edge Microserver
The Edge Microserver proxies connections via AlwaysOn
Connect your devices to the ThingWorx platform with the Edge MicroServer, a pre-built application that enables devices incapable of making TLS connections to securely interact with the platform.
Connect Raspberry Pi to ThingWorx
Kepware Server
Access data from industrial machine controllers
ThingWorx Kepware Server with 150+ industrial protocol drivers allows you to easily connect to different types of industrial equipment. The interface provides real-time, bi-directional industrial controls data to the ThingWorx Platform via the AlwaysOn protocol.

Device Cloud Connectors
Connect devices with the adapter of your choice and integrate with ThingWorx to build scalable IoT applications.
Analyze
Analyze and Visualize IoT Data
The AI and Machine Learning technologies used in ThingWorx Analytics automate much of the complex analytical processes involved in creating data-driven insights for your IIoT application. Simulate behavior of physical products in the digital world, use predictive analytic algorithms to find patterns in your business data and generate a prediction model, or build a real-time anomaly detection model by monitoring for data points that fall outside of an expected range.

Build
Rapid, Model-based Application Development
Build your industrial IoT application using ThingWorx’s drag-and-drop GUI development environment, model-based development platform. Using the ThingModel to describe assets, processes, and organizational elements and how they relate to each other. Define the functional behavior, add business logic, and extend your application with pre-built plugins. With a properly-constructed framework, your application will be scalable, flexible and more secure.

Experience
Design Engaging Experiences
Use the industry’s first purpose built IoT application development environment to design engaging experiences for web and mobile applications. Designed to reduce the time, cost, and risk required to build new innovative IoT applications, this layer has two distinct functions: build-time and run-time. Build-time encompasses the technology to create the things in your Industrial IoT solution while Run-time includes the operational permissions to execute and manage those things.
