Exton, PA - March 10, 2015 - ThingWorx, a PTC® (Nasdaq: PTC) business and leading Internet of
Things (IoT) platform provider, announced today that SmartPatch, an Italian startup company that
develops structural health monitoring solutions, has selected ThingWorx to view and understand the
data from its connected, wireless applications. These SmartPatch applications help monitor the
structural integrity of buildings, bridges, tunnels and monuments.
SmartPatch has developed a patented solution for Structural Health Monitoring that is wireless, low
cost and easy to implement. The company is using the
ThingWorx IoT platform via a browser connected to a
cloud server for its advanced graphical user interface to
enable real-time, detailed monitoring of data points
such as strain, temperature, tilt and seismic activity. The
system will offer a comprehensive view of the
measured point and offer immediate data for
interpretation and possible action.
“The ThingWorx based system can change the approach to viewing and understanding Structural
Health Management data by builders, certification companies, state safety agencies, civil engineers
and professionals in the building industry,” said Marco Bonvino, co-founder at SmartPatch. “In our
opinion ThingWorx is the most complete IoT platform available on the market and we look forward to
making this technology available to our customers.”
In addition to using the ThingWorx IoT platform, SmartPatch is also taking advantage of PTC Creo to
offer new graphical visualization of the infrastructure, implementing a rotating 3D model.
“SmartPatch is a good example of how IoT technology can transform existing business processes such
as structural health monitoring to enable a step change in efficiency and responsiveness, ” said Russ
Fadel, president, ThingWorx. “The age of the Internet of Things is upon us and forward thinking
companies, such as SmartPatch, will use the ThingWorx IoT platform to deliver business value to their
customers.”
