It is a bit generic to just state that you need a Kanban board.

Do you have a wireframe of what you want it to look like?

I would start by 

1. Create the wireframe(s)

2. Create the necessary services to provide the data shown in the wireframe(s)

3. Determine the widgets to use

Hi,

Currently I do not have any wire frames but need to check if we can achieve the functionality in manufacturing as follows.

-> We have an equipment(need to be configured as a thing in thingworx) in which we will have storage units or work station (properties in things) where we can store the raw materials quantity. As we consume raw materials in storage units quantity is reduced and when it reach the minimum value a alert need to be triggered.

 

Note : I believe there should be some functionality in production KPIs of manufacturing apps.

 

Let me know if you need more info.

 

Thanks in Advance.

What you describe can be done in manufacturing starter apps.

Not sure if the screens in the manufacturing starter apps suffice for your Kanban board.

If you only want to check exceptions/empty/alerts, then:

1. Write a SQL Query service to get data from Database.

2. Bind the Query data to Grid of Mashup.

 

If you always display states of all boxes, then:

1. Write a SQL Query service to get data of 1 box, with input parameter of box number.

2. Write a Mashup with parameter of box number, bind its Grid with Query data.

3. Write 2nd Mashup with lots of contained mashup, referring to 1st mashup with actual box number.

Tallrain,

 

Thank you for your response and suggestion, but what you suggest won't provide the Kanban board capability we need to provide.  Please see the attached "LeanKit Kanban Example" for an idea of what we're looking for.

 

We're moving forward with Constantine's suggested approach, though we still need to provide drag and drop capability of the project cards on the Kanban dashboard if we can, which we're still trying to figure out in ThingWorx.

 

v/r,

Jeff
