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.

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.
