Influx DB with Manufacturing Apps

[TanmeyTWX]

Hi Folks,

Anyone came across similar requirement,please respond.

I have devices data(CNC machine,etc) fetched to Influx Database. And want to display OEE reports and thought of Manufacturing Apps to achieve the same.

Is there any tutorials or guides to integrate Influx DB with Thingworx and develop Mashups as per requirement.

Thanks,

Tarun

Currently Influx is used for Persistence Provider for Streams, so you can just set up your ValueStreams with an Influx DB as its persistence provider.

Not sure why you have a specific Influx DB requirement though.

Pai,

I have my data on Influx DB and currently using open source dashboard application to display OEE data. I want to do the same using TWX UI.

Right now Influx db is only supported as an additional persistence provider.

You will still need to use H2/MS SQL or Postgres to support the model storage.

So unless you are using custom queries against the influx data, you won't get a lot of extra value I think.

I guess then,need to drop idea of using Influx as now.

I should go with the usual approach of Kepware-->Thingworx for now.

Can you tell me if there is any guide/documentation for specific OEE usecase developed on top of Thingworx?.

Did you look into the Manufacturing starter apps?

[TanmeyTWX]

Can you share link to it?

This starter app is great to get up and running quickly.

After that you can continue to configure, extend and customize these.
