January 30, 2019 - Industrial automation and connectivity specialist Novotek UK and Ireland has partnered with industrial software provider PTC to provide its ThingWorx platform to UK businesses. The PTC partnership will extend Novotek’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology offering and will help businesses in the UK’s manufacturing, food and beverage, utilities and energy sector improve their system effectiveness, efficiency and connectivity.
ThingWorx is an IIoT platform that allows plant and utilities managers to unify the stream data from industrial equipment and systems in a single location. This allows businesses to not only monitor activity, but also to develop IIoT applications suited to the needs of their plant, without requiring programming experience.
Novotek’s partnership with PTC will allow the company to provide the most recent iteration of the ThingWorx software, ThingWorx 8. This version incorporates elements of augmented reality (AR) from PTC’s Vuforia software, allowing plant managers to build AR applications that are specific to their plant’s set up and systems.
ThingWorx will complement Novotek’s already extensive IIoT offerings, adding a scalable platform that provides UK businesses with edge computing functionality.
