Release Date: July 13, 2017
New Features Release 2.5
Asynchronous Connectors
We would like to offer you the greatest possible configuration experience. For this, we are constantly expanding the Simplifier. With the new update, you can also integrate asynchronous connectors (MQTT, OPC UA and push notifications) into your app. This means that data is actively transferred to your device without having to worry about updating. Thus, e.g. you can monitor machine data almost in real time.
Integrate External Libraries
By supporting official cross-device web standards, there is an almost endless range of add-on widgets, such as graphs or digital signatures. To use external JavaScript libraries in widgets and / or applications, they can now be uploaded, versioned and assigned via the managed libraries function.
Angular 2
With the new update we have implemented Angular 2 in the Simplifier. This allows you to build extremely versatile, fast and functional web apps by configuration. The integrated Ionic framework provides the necessary native look & feel for progressive web applications.
Advanced Offline Capability
Many Simplifier solutions are used by field service engineers or service engineers – often the network connection is fluctuating in terms of quality and availability. The Simplifier therefore offers an intelligent buffering of data with automatic synchronization in online mode for reception problems. In addition, all application data including static files are available on the local device memory and can also be used completely in offline mode.
Hololens Support
As the latest innovation, Simplifier applications are also used in Microsoft’s mixed-reality Hololens glasses. In addition, the Simplifier offers a Hololens Addon to provide data from the existing connectors in the 3D reality world.
Even More Configuration
Thanks to a large number of optimizations in the Simplifier, it is now possible to configure even more than before. Thus, technical requirements as user story are written directly in the Simplifier and linked to the technical workflow. In addition, the mobile actions were enriched by video / audio calls and more. Also, the use of variables and preconfigured masks was introduced for easier handling of application data.
