ThingWorx

What ThingWorx is

ThingWorx is an industrial software platform that brings machine, system, and enterprise application data into a shared operational context. It supports real-time visibility, application development, advanced analytics, and AI deployment, with custom dashboards, SQL querying, real-time stream processing, anomaly detection, and machine-learning tools. For production teams, Production Performance Monitoring captures and visualizes OEE KPI data. Asset Monitoring & Utilization checks asset health against thresholds and complex events, identifying abnormal conditions and alerting teams. Digital Performance Management helps locate bottleneck causes across the factory floor. Connected Work Cell replaces paper and PDF instructions with version-controlled digital workflows, while Connected Field Assets connects products and captures live performance data for service and optimization. Velotic describes ThingWorx working with Kepware for industrial connectivity and Proficy for operational visibility and production insight. It is available through web, Linux, Windows, API, extension, and self-hosted environments. Documentation includes installation guides, system requirements, Edge SDK materials for C, .NET, and Java, and analytics integration guides. Pricing is available by contacting sales; the product page also directs customers to certified partners for deployment and optimization.
