Accelerate Success with Purpose-Built Industrial IoT Platform Object TemplatesÂ
Wednesday, December 1, noon to 12:30 pm ET
Join our Illumination Works’ experts as they demonstrate the ease of representing the physical world in the PTC ThingWorx IoT platform by leveraging the “Thing” Model.Â
Description
Things (objects) in ThingWorx represent the business domain including operational technology systems and other physical assets. Things allow ThingWorx to integrate all data and information about assets in one centralized place. Each Thing in the physical world has a digital representation, or digital twin, within the ThingWorx domain model.
This session leverages CNC machine data sets to create a “Thing Template” using the ThingWorx Composer application. Templates enable reusable components within the model instead of having to create a unique Thing for every component in your operational environment.
Templates are:
- Easy to create and make inheritance in the model easier to maintain
- Easy to view based on structure
- Save time when adding new “Things” or objects
- Allow common assets to have common events and subscriptions, which provide interactions and triggering within and around the data associated with the asset
Benefits & Outcomes
- No coding is required to model Templates and Things in the application
- Quickly convert Thing Templates to represent physical assets in your environment
- Connections obtain near real-time data and information
- Frees up time to focus on value outcomes (ThingWorx does the heavy lifting)
- Allows searches on relationships between Things, as well as asset type and description–making it easy to see interactions
