Velotic Advances ThingWorx With New Agentic AI Capabilities

New AI and agent capabilities connect industrial context with existing systems and applications, helping manufacturers put intelligence to work across the environments they already operate

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Velotic today announced a major advancement of the ThingWorx Industrial Intelligence Platform, introducing new agentic AI capabilities designed to help manufacturers connect artificial intelligence with the industrial data, systems, and applications they already rely on.

“Manufacturers don’t need another disconnected AI environment. They need intelligence that can understand and work with the operations they already have.”

ThingWorx provides the platform backbone for Velotic’s AI strategy, connecting operational data and context with applications and intelligence. Its role is central to Velotic’s Industrial Intelligence direction – helping industrial teams understand what is happening across their operations and put that understanding to work.

Available with ThingWorx 10.2, the new capabilities include ThingWorx AI Assistant, ThingWorx MCP Server, and AI & Agent Services. Together, they provide an enterprise foundation for developing secure, extensible AI assistants and agents that work with industrial data, context, applications and existing systems.

Through support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), ThingWorx can also create MCP servers for legacy systems, giving AI agents access to operational data and context from systems that were never designed to work with AI. This gives manufacturers a practical way to extend AI into existing industrial environments and technology investments.

“Manufacturers don’t need another disconnected AI environment. They need intelligence that can understand and work with the operations they already have,” said Chris Balwin, Chief Product Officer, Velotic. “ThingWorx provides the platform backbone for our AI strategy – connecting operational context with new forms of intelligence and giving customers a practical path to bring AI into the environments they rely on today.”

Industrial data and context are often spread across equipment, applications, and systems built up over decades. ThingWorx already helps customers model those environments and put connected data and context to work in industrial applications. The new AI and agent capabilities build on that foundation, giving developers a more direct way to create AI assistants and agents that understand the industrial environment they are working in.

“The real factory upgrade is fewer hours lost finding answers. ThingWorx 10.2’s agentic AI capabilities give factory teams a more direct way to ask questions in plain language, investigate problems faster, and spend less engineering time searching through data,” said Shashi Preetham, CEO of PSPTechHub.

Beyond its new AI, ThingWorx 10.2 advances industrial applications, including Connected Work Cell and Real-Time Production Performance Monitoring, alongside enhancements to interoperability, developer productivity, device management, security, scalability, and MQTT v5 support.
