Focus on the smart Industry 4.0 solutions of tomorrow

Day after day, we are committed to adding new functionalities to our Capture platform. Customer questions and feedback provide us with a lot of insights into the challenges of collecting machine data in a structured way, analyzing it and making objective decisions.

This new update to the Capture cloud is a step towards an enterprise framework to develop, deploy and maintain the smart Industry 4.0 solutions of tomorrow.

An overview of the novelties.

A new User Interface & Navigation

The new User Interface will make it easier to navigate between apps. The apps ensure that the functionality is better structured and clearer. By creating quick links on the home screen, you will be able to customize your home page and reach easier the most used submodules.

The apps

Identity & access

This is the app where you are able to manage the complete user and company management of Capture. You are able to create custom roles for the users and address them to different companies and subcompanies.

Organiser

This is a complete new app and makes it possible to manage your machines in a more efficient way. There are 2 submodules:

Fleet
This powerful feature allows you to centrally manage configurations for all devices in the field. Capture ensures the synchronization of the entire machine fleet.
Projects
With “projects” you group devices into projects, making it easier to browse for devices in a targeted manner. In addition, a project can also contain additional software resources such as a Dual simulation.

Devices

Flexibility is key in our approach. That’s why we created different local database endpoints types like Influx, CSV, MQTT, Redis (inmem) and the possibility to add multiple synchronisation destinations.

This makes it possible to synchronise your data to the default Capture cloud or your own private cloud.

Save time by creating configuration templates for connections, measurements and custom json settings in no time and deploy them everytime a new device is online.

Where are my machines? What is the status of my machines? Which ones are generating data and which ones are not connected.

Within one simple device map view you can see the status of your machine fleet and within maximum 3 clicks you have all necessary data at your disposal.

Dashboards

Create your own personal overview page with the most visited dashboards to navigate faster.

Configure and generate dashboards more easily and have some standard variables created automatically.

This way we make it faster and easier to create generic dashboards and copy them to subcompanies.

Analytics app

Get real value from your data by analyzing it, interpreting it and finally optimizing it. Make objective, informed decisions based on data.

In our Analytics app we provide 2 options:

FAAS (Function as a Service)
With FAAS it is possible to create functions.
The functions can be started recurrently to process data. The FAAS app is able to show the recent logs per function
With FAAS it is possible to create custom endpoints on top of Capture.

endpoints for custom data ingestion
you can import your own data formats
endpoints that perform a custom action
programmable in Python, node.js, C#

Workflows
With this service you can set up a series of activities that you perform to achieve a result. Workflows give more structure to your processes and improve efficiency.

Workflows show an overview of all workflows, their recent runs, as well as the status history and lead times
Workflows visually show how the flow is structured and can show the logs per activity
Workflows can be programmed in Python, with Vintecc providing a Git repo and pipeline for deployment.

Resources and platform management

At a glance you have a complete view of all assets, you gain insight into the traffic, your database sizes and the top 10 devices.

Generate an overview of all active and offline devices of your company or subcompanies at the touch of a button. This makes it possible to link a revenue model to the platform yourself.
