Question
Retrieving MES Serial Genealogy in ThingWorx via REST Integration
Hello Community,
I'm working on a use case where ThingWorx needs to retrieve serial genealogy/traceability information from an external MES system (Ignition MES) through REST APIs.
For a given serial number, I need to access:
- Component serials and lot numbers
- Work order/production order details
I'd like to understand the recommended approach in ThingWorx for:
- Consuming external REST APIs for genealogy data
- Modeling and storing genealogy relationships
Has anyone implemented a similar MES-to-ThingWorx genealogy integration? Any best practices, sample architectures, or extension recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
