OPC-UA connector

Have you dreamt of connecting your sensor data to apps and devices? With our new OPC UA connector, you can access Siemens or Bosch automation control systems. All you need is a valid OPC UA server.

SAP RFC connector

SOAP and OData used to be our primary method to access SAP systems. Welcome our new RFC connector, which let’s you do even more with your SAP system.

Theming

This feature will calm your marketing team down. You can now define your own brand colors and typography to match your corporate design. The Theming feature can be used for all your web, mobile and wearable apps.

Jobs module for automation

Our brand new Jobs module lets you set up tasks to run in the background. In doing so, you can access any feature of the Simplifier. For example, you can create a job to automatically push data from one to another system or update machine data every three minutes.

Step-by-Step Guidance in 10 minutes

In reaction to popular demand, we created the Step-by-Step Guidance module, which let’s you quickly build standardized apps for maintenance, strictly defined processes or quality assurance. These apps can be used as usual on mobile and wearable devices.

Updated Features Release 2.0

Copy & Paste UI elements

User interface elements used to be stuck inside one app that you are working on. Now you can copy and paste user interface elements to use them across different applications. Know your shortcuts for an added efficiency boost!

Configure hardware specific features

Do more with with your devices: You can now specify hardware specific features such as camera, vibration or OCR scanning right inside the Process Designer, using only configuration measures.

Combine data sources

If you need complex interface logic, we have something for you: You can now combine several data sources into one business object, which you can then access as a data object in the Process Designer.

Secure data validation

Pushing the wrong data to your systems can be a nightmare. With our new data validation feature, you can simply configure your data model and the platform will take care of the rest, before your data goes back to your backend system. Additionally, we also put this secure step at the connector level and compare compatible data formats.
