IoT, PTC, LiveWorx, Analytika.

Notices are starting to circulate about PTC LiveWorx 2015. Attended Axeda Connection and PTC LiveWorx last year. Been watching Internet of Things (IoT) in pursuance of making Cimetrics' offerings like Analytika more conformal. Year started with meeting some people from ThingWorx at M2M Miami. Watched as ThingWorx and Axeda started melding into PTC. Attended local events regarding the PTC Smart Connected Products programme.

Good friend of ours, from the energy efficiency and buildings modeling space, joined PTC. Went into high gear regarding analytics, and Cimetrics is now in the ThingWorx partner program. 

The Analytika piece for PTC is mostly about consuming and delivering data for mashups. But there are data connector pathways too. Connections had been a topic we were looking at with Axeda before the acquisition by PTC. Seems everyone is trying to understand how it all fits together. Here is an image from the connectIOT project:

And Cimetrics is still actively pursuing IoT pathways.
