IoT Value Plan Subscribers, MindAccess Developer Plan Subscribers and MindAccess Operator Plan Subscribers

Closed Loop Foundation and applications enables you to define and manage the connections between virtual models and onboarded assets. These connections allow you to provide operational IoT data as input to the virtual model and in the process create a digital twin. The following applications are part of the Closed Loop application suite:

Closed Loop Foundation

What's new?

  • Closed Loop Foundation is now available on MindSphere.

  • Closed Loop Product Definition provides you the following features and functions:

    • Manage enterprise model definitions using JSON-based schema or industry-standard FMI 2.0.

    • Manage connections between virtual models and onboarded assets.

    • Configure connectors to establish secure communication with enterprise systems.

    • Enable custom connector development.

Closed Loop Product Definition

What's new?

  • Closed Loop Product Definition is now available on MindSphere.

  • Closed Loop Product Definition provides you the following features and functions:

    • Connect specific product configurations to onboarded assets.

    • Show a summary of operational events generated for all product configurations.

    • Allow user to view operational events and related product defects for a specific configuration.

    • Create new product defects for unaddressed events.

    • Provides access to Teamcenter Active workspace client.

    • Interfaces with Teamcenter using out-of-the-box connector.

    • Interfaces with other PLM applications using custom connector.

Known issues

  • Sometimes GET /events API return an error response. Retrying several times returns the correct response.
