Datonis AppCenter is the centralized portal to get into all the applications. To do so:

  • Go to www.datonis.io and sign up. The platform will ask for a valid e-mail id and password.

Collection of applications from AppCenter

You can now view all your applications under one single container:

  • AppCenter will show all the applications/connectors you are entitled with in one unified screen.
  • User does not need to click on different application urls and maintain their views to look for the data across all the applications. This gives a single user interface to access different applications under one container.
  • Currently there are three applications which are contained in the Appcenter. They are : factory, analytics and admin
  • Factory application allows the user to get the insight about the factory level data. This could be production data as well as condition based monitoring data for your machine (workcenter)
  • Admin application will allow the user to configure the roles and users associated with it. It will also allow the user to associate the abilities one can have with it.(Role Based Access). Admin applications allows the administrator user to configure role based access to the abilities it can work up for the specified users in the account. The application does not maintain separate user creation mechanism. Admin application looks upon to the Datonis for the user management.
  • Apps Analytics is the application which is used for configuring and viewing the analytics data for the configured apps. Currently it will be connected with Microsoft Power BI tool. This will show the factory data currently which is integrated and represented in Power BI as an analytics tool.

Data as a service

The Datonis Appenter Application API is a fully RESTful JSON based API that can be used to interact with the different applications. The API can be used for the following purposes.

  • As a command line interface (CLI) instead of using the Appcenter UI.
  • Building custom web and mobile applications for your requirements.
  • Create configuration/ master data for the custom application one can build on the top of appcenter.
  • One can exchange the configuration data between two systems. This culd be also worked upon as the production data or CBM data
  • Integrating your production data with other software systems

We are currently at version 1 of the API.
