Hello All,
Can we use AMU without Kepware?
Customer does not want to invest in Kepware, so can we have any work around with MQTT or OPC-UA, etc.
Use Case: Data will be fetched from a SCADA system and different Dashboard will be developed in Thingworx along with AMU (Asset Monitoring and Utilization).

Hi Javed
I'm pretty sure this will work, yes.
In case you haven't already connected your MQTT or OPC-UA with Thingworx, those Articles should help : MQTT, extra MQTT documentation, OPC-UA.
Once it's connected to Thingworx, you should make sure that it's listed as an Industrial Connection in Composer. Then the next step is to use it for AMU tags/attributes. For this, there are 2 possibilities :
- In AMU, go to the Configuration -> Equipment screen, then in the Advanced Settings tab of your asset-type equipment you should be able to select it as your industrial connection. Then in the next tab, when you create an attribute it should have the list of available tags listed and you can select one.
- Use the Excel import tool. Enter your attributes in the Attributes sheet. Then, as explained in this next documentation page, execute the SyncAttributeProperties_INS service to add them as properties on your Thing. After doing this, you will be able to go in Composer, on your equipment's Thing, make sure that the Industrial Connection is correctly set in the IndustrialThing property. You should see the list of attributes/properties and can assign them to the corresponding tags : either by clicking on the property's name and using the right panel, or by using the Manage Bindings button at the top.
Let us know if this works for you.
Thanks @mstarnaud for detailed explanation. I will check these steps and let you know.
