Connect FairCom Edge to ThingWorx for codeless querying

Figure 1. IIoT integration hub

The FairCom Edge connector for ThingWorx uses the ThingWorx AlwaysOn protocol to automatically deliver data from FairCom Edge to ThingWorx.

FairCom Edge gathers data from edge devices using a variety of protocols, including MQTT, OPC UA, PLCs, and so forth. It stores this data in its internal, high-speed database, and automatically forwards the data to ThingWorx. It supports all types of data including images, large binary objects, JSON, numbers, strings, and so forth.

FairCom Edge easily converts complex JSON data into tabular data for easy integration into ThingWorx.

FairCom Edge can store data at high velocity and forward it to ThingWorx at a rate that ThingWorx is able to consume.
