ThingWorx Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Thingworx an IoT solution to improve the efficiency of our client's industrial processes. Thingworx used to reduce the amount of effort and complexity involved in integrating third-party apps by developing and deploying Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that accelerate time to market. Thingworx featured with its own framework - Thing Model Framework. Which provides effortless integration with other technologies and tools, such as ThingWorx Studio, Kepware.

Business processes may be greatly enhanced using the IIoT. Thingworx collects data from sensors and other devices and Users apply SQUEAL in analysing and filtering data, and retrieving particular information. SQUEAL, the acronym for Search, Query, and Analysis, is the search engine used by Thingworx. Initially, we struggled with integration and understanding the core functionalities offered by Thingworx and we scheduled several demo sessions with the support team. Therefore, I can say overall, we had a memorable experience with Thingworx.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ThingWorx as a means of industrial connection and control of model manufacturing systems for research into the implementation of industry 4.0 strategies and technologies in the modern factory. Primary functionalities used are the industrial connections established by Kepware, the data visualization and control achieved through ThingWorx mashups, and the data analysis functions that allow us to make our data valuable and usable. In our lab, ThingWorx controls and monitors six-axis robots and model manufacturing demonstrators which contain various robotic and motor actions, vision systems, and other sensors.

Likelihood to Recommend

ThingWorx works particularly well in monitoring and controlling our smart manufacturing demonstrator, easily facilitating the connections needed, displaying the state of the machine and the data being gathered, and implementing data analytics and predictive operation control of the equipment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ThingWorx for IoT use cases for Smart Cities and Digital Twin initiatives.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for industrial and smart city use cases. Also good for AR integrations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I was looking for an end-to-end software app platform for an IoT project. It is great for facilitating the deployment of apps and addressing the management of data with integrated features and modules. They also have great customer service to help with working with the service, especially in the beginning with the steep learning curve.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for situations where you require an end-to-end platform for pushing code and managing data and security of the IoT application. However, it is not well suited for the case when you want to scale the app up to many users and this requires more from the part of the product.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We looked for an end-to-end IoT solution where we will be able to perform the total use case of the project. It gives us the capability, readiness of the software to establish quick growth and definitely saves time to develop the product. This basically made our work very easier in terms of development, deployment, usability, enhancements, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

It can be mainly used where there is a manual intervention to install and develop the products error-prone. It basically requires less code, so it has a larger potential to be used for most IoT projects. This can make less code, fewer license restrictions, and less staff time which actually solves a lot of time and money. Few of the IoT projects do not require any automation, in that case, there will not be much need for any of the Thingworx modules.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to deploy such solutions in the most varied types of customers, from pulp & paper, consumer goods, heavy industry, and whatever industry you can think of. It's mainly focused on monitoring asset health, optimizing processes through the analytics extension, and providing plant-level alerts for faster decision-making. ThingWorx is great if you want to create an MES-like solution for your company, but have data coming not only from the plant floor, but also from databases, azure, and others.

Likelihood to Recommend

As a domain expert, I no longer had to express my requirements in a classical requirements spec, I could develop it in an agile way, continuously improving the data model as my understanding of the application became more sophisticated. The ability to then build a mashup in the same time it took to develop a PowerPoint slide deck was a revelation. As a small, but long-standing partner, I'm confident that the future of our WaterWorX platform will accelerate due to our reliance on ThingWorx to power our smart water applications.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ThingWorx is a solution-focused on IIoT, helping companies transition into the digital world. Through Thingworx and its modules, we can connect live data on the plant floor to the platform on the cloud, monitoring assets' health and its functioning. All through secure protocols that are always updated.

Likelihood to Recommend

ThingWorx is great if you want to create an MES-like solution for your company, but have data coming not only from the plant floor, but also from databases, azure, and others. You can seamlessly integrate those data and create reports like visuals and mashups. It is also a great solution if you have multiple plants and need to monitor everyone simultaneously and even compare results between locations. ThingWorx is not recommended if all you need is a BI solution, it is not a reporting software and it should not be used as it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Support analytical and monitoring application development for a leading production company. The main task will be to cover industrial IoT solutions. The main task is to design and build reporting processes, mechanism for forwarding data, their combinations in reports and enable visibility in perfomance on the production line level. Initial use case comprises selected shop floor IT systems.

Likelihood to Recommend

Using for device tracking on the shopfloor and event monitoring:

- Smooth deployment, easy to couple to devices.

- Easy cooperation with splunk, that we use also.

- Finally after connecting to deviced (machine data logs), quick definition and implementation of application

- Intuitive environment, easy querying.

- Can handle virtually any data type we found.

- And it works in cloud - a major benefit in our setup.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a specialist systems integrator working in the water sector, developing water and wastewater treatment and distribution system solutions in the industrial, environmental and municipal sectors. I became interested in Thingworx just as the IOT was emerging as a significant transformation technology in industrial automation. I have a background as a senior engineer in the specification of industry 3.0 water monitoring control and automation.

When I first met the Thingworx founding team in late 2011, I was blown away by the performance and concept underlying ThingWorx. As a domain expert, I no longer had to express my requirements in a classical requirements spec, I could develop it in an agile way, continuously improving the data model as my understanding of the application became more sophisticated. The ability to then build a mashup in the same time it took to develop a PowerPoint slide deck was a revelation. I discovered later that I still need an FRS but it became a strategic roadmap rather than customised local solution.

Since those early days, the platform has gone from strength to strength, and now it is past its critical mass and is attracting a strong partner community. As a small, but long-standing partner, I'm confident that the future of our WaterWorX platform will accelerate due to our reliance on ThingWorx to power our smart water applications.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well-suited - multiple streams from many data sources, highly scalable application scenarios.

Less appropriate - Large complex one-off process plants with complex logic at the edge.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used to remote monitor industrial printers on the AWS cloud.

Likelihood to Recommend

Good for a quick test of internet of things (IoT) connectivity and for deploying access via the web.
