Introducing ThingWorx Manufacturing Apps
Transform your results by giving your team members unprecedented capabilities to see, understand and act in real time. ThingWorx manufacturing apps accelerate your time-to-value and offer unmatched flexibility.
Built on PTC’s industry-leading IoT platform, ThingWorx, this set of role-based apps can be installed and configured in under an hour without impacting production. They are 100% web-enabled and accessible via any browser—providing you and your team members the ability to view, understand, and act on industrial data in real time
Includes:
Production Advisor
Asset Advisor
Controls Advisor

9. Architecture Overview
Understanding ThingWorx MFG Architecture
Understanding Kepware and ThingWorx MFG integration implementation
Understanding Thing Model hierarchy for Key Thing types

10. WHY MFG APPS? Industrie 4.0 initiative transforming the industry
Mfg Apps provides tools for rapid development on top of ThingWorx Platform
Integration with external systems such as Kepware, OSI Soft, Amazon IoT, etc.
Common data model is required for rapid development
Allow the flexibility of platform to continue
Provide reusable widgets, contained mashups, services, etc.
The result is Starter app
Our goal is to provide about 70% of reusable components allowing customers/partners to adapt

22. Schedulers PTC.Factory.StatusEvaluationScheduler
Used for calculating the Machine Status
Currently runs every minute
Every Minute Configuration could be a problem, if we have large assets
PTC.Factory.MidnightDeviceDiscoveryScheduler
This is used to discover the devices for each of the KepServer
Can discover from UI using Controls Advisor app
Runs once a day at midnight
PTC.Factory.MidnightPurgeWeekOldHistoryScheduler
Will purge all historical data from tags which are older than a week
Runs once a day around midnight
Can be disabled if the data needs to be preserved

23. Schedulers PTC.SCA.Mfg.KPIsCalculationScheduler
Used for Calculating KPIs
Scheduler Runs every minute
Actual calculation done based on Asset property value
KPI Calculation Period
Important to note: Outside of Scheduled window, the time will be clocked towards Production Downtime
