Develop a Starter IoT Application

Create an application that stores machine data and optimizes operational processes.

Project Concept

This project will introduce you to how to create a fully functional IoT application to implement your design needs.

Following the steps in this guide, you will create your very first IoT application and test it out yourself.

We will teach you how to create IoT application using the ThingWorx platform. Using ThingWorx, you can create an IoT application with a UI customized to your specfic business requirements, and provide a real-time digital view of a remote physical object to help optimize operational processes.
