Cimetrics gains entry into the ThingWorx Partner Program, offering a model-driven analytics solution for IoT applications.
In a significant move, Cimetrics Inc., a world leader in physical world analytics, has joined the ThingWorx ReadyTM Partner program. The announcement was made on March 17, 2015.
This partnership aims to integrate Cimetrics' Analytika technology with the ThingWorx® IoT platform, offering numerous benefits for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, particularly in the domains of building automation, energy management, and operational efficiency.
Jim Lee, CEO of Cimetrics, leads the company in this endeavour.
Here's a look at the key advantages of this integration:
- Advanced Analytics and Diagnostics: Analytika provides sophisticated analytics capabilities that enable deep diagnostics and fault detection in building systems and equipment. When integrated with ThingWorx, this enhances the platform’s ability to monitor system health, predict failures, and optimize performance.
- Improved Data Utilization: ThingWorx aggregates vast streams of IoT data from sensors and devices. Analytika leverages this data to apply machine learning and rule-based algorithms to extract actionable insights, turning raw data into meaningful information that supports proactive decision-making.
- Enhanced Energy and Operational Efficiency: By detecting inefficiencies, unusual patterns, or operational anomalies in real-time, the integration enables organizations to reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and improve system reliability.
- Automated Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD): Analytika automates the identification and diagnosis of faults in complex building systems, allowing for faster response times and reducing downtime. This automation complements ThingWorx’s real-time monitoring and visualization capabilities.
- Scalability and Flexibility: Combining Analytika’s specialized analytics with ThingWorx’s scalable IoT platform facilitates deployment across diverse sites and systems, adapting to varying infrastructure needs and enabling enterprise-wide management.
- Better User Experience and Visualization: ThingWorx offers powerful dashboards and visualization tools. Integrating Analytika's insights into these dashboards provides users with clearer, context-rich information to facilitate better understanding and quicker action.
- Support for Predictive Maintenance: The integration supports predictive maintenance strategies by identifying trends and early warning signs before equipment failures occur, thereby extending asset life and minimizing unexpected disruptions.
The ThingWorx ReadyTM Partner program simplifies the creation and deployment of IoT solutions. By becoming ThingWorx Ready, end customers can accelerate the growth of the overall IoT space. The partnership between Cimetrics and ThingWorx enables a variety of cost-saving and revenue-enhancing value propositions such as predictive maintenance, asset optimization, and "Product as a service."
Analytika for Buildings provides energy savings, sustainability, and tenant comfort to energy, facility, and sustainability managers. Similarly, Analytika for Process improves process reliability, regulatory compliance, and quality risk management for leading manufacturers and Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences organizations.
The Analytika and ThingWorx platforms, when used together, enable manufacturers, service providers, and owners to predict when maintenance is required, determine what spare parts and consumables are needed, and when they must be procured.
Cimetrics' participation in the ThingWorx ReadyTM Partner program allows for the pre-integration of Analytika with the ThingWorx IoT platform. The Analytika for IoT serves designers, manufacturers, and users of smart products.
Moreover, Cimetrics' BACnet communication products are widely used by Building Automation System manufacturers and their channel partners. The ThingWorx ReadyTM Partner program encompasses a variety of products throughout the IoT value chain, including software systems, cloud platforms, smart sensors, devices, gateways, and machines.
In summary, integrating Cimetrics' Analytika with ThingWorx enriches the IoT platform with advanced analytics and diagnostics, enabling smarter, more efficient, and reliable management of IoT-connected assets and systems.
