Our latest release introduces new features that advance the capabilities and expand the way the ThinkIQ platform is used. 

Connectors

Starting with our last release, the connectors have under-gone a major revision - beginning with an update to the .NET Core library, and following that, each connector has been completely reworked. 

• The installer has been upgraded and includes improvements to the server setup to prefill key details when possible.
• The OSI Historian connector has been renamed to Aveva (OSISoft) Historian. 
• The ThinkIQ Connection Monitor tool has been launched. This application is installed on premise on the machine where ThinkIQ has been installed. It provides insight into how the connector is operating.
• The Linux .deb package has been updated and now uses the apt Package Manager for installations. This allows for installing OPC UA connectors and the simulator on Linux. 
• The Custom Connector Toolkit has been published for integrators and developers. This toolkit creates a standard framework for custom connectors. The ThinkIQ Connection Monitor tool is integrated with custom connectors.

Profile Import/Export

• The Profile Import/Export feature that has been in beta has been released for public use. This effort has included many bug fixes.
• End users can now export profiles - synonymous with ThinkIQ libraries - and import them into other ThinkIQ systems. 
• Profile exporting and importing now supports composite types.
• Near future improvements includes support for Relationships, UA structure types and UA interfaces.

ThinkIQ Cloud Library

• This release introduces the first iteration of the ThinkIQ Cloud Library where select OPC UA profiles and ThinkIQ profiles/libraries can be imported into a ThinkIQ platform. This will allow users to immediately use or experiment with new types introduced by the profiles.
• Several harmonized UA nodesets have been added to the library.

QR Code Printing

ThinkIQ has introduced QR Codes that are automatically generated and linked to specific pages in the Portal such as Model Explorer,Equipment Details, Trend. Scanning the code allows users to instantly access the correct record page on the platform. This new feature can simplify navigation for floor-level or remote users by enabling fast, direct access to product/equipment information via QR code scanning of printed labels — no need to manually search in the platform. Options for easily printing labels of different sizes will be available in a future release.

Mini IDE / IDE

The Mini-IDE has been renamed to simply the IDE and has become its own application that can be launched from the menu under Applications. By default, this menu item is only accessible to those with Engineering and above access levels. As an application, the IDE has been refactored to bring many useful enhancements to the user:

• You can now open scripts or create new scripts from within the IDE without launching the application from the script link in the Model Explorer.
• The IDE now has its own internal tab mechanism that manages open scripts preventing you from accidentally opening the same script in two different browser tabs: now all open scripts are in tabs within the IDE.
• All scripts now log errors to a unique log file owned by the script. You can open this log with the View Output button at the bottom of the page. You can also empty the log here. Note that the error log will empty automatically once a script is Saved.
• All scripts can now log actions to a unique log owned by the script. This is a structured way to keep a record of what the script is doing. You can open this log with the View Output button at the bottom of the page.
• All scripts now keep discrete history logs. You can open this log with the View Output button at the bottom of the page.
• It is now possible to the Edit the Configuration of the script via the Edit Config button at the bottom of the page. Among other details, the dialog box allows for scheduling the script and editing the parameters of the script.
• As before, you can Save and Run scripts using the buttons at the bottom of the page. After running a script, a new discrete Script Output dialog will display any errors generated and output data.
• If changes are pending for an open script, an asterisk will display next to the script name on the tab.
• At the top of the page a new info strip displays static information about the script such as its name, parent, run type, start time, and more, as dictated by the script type.

Material Traceability

• Enhancements to material flow capabilities, including event propagation and costing implementation, are now complete.
• Event propagation now ensures that upstream attributes are correctly allocated to downstream movements.
• New documentation exists for event propagation and costing implementation.

Other

• The platform now features status indicators on the footer of every page to alert users of any issue with scripts, the script engine, Graphql, or the OPCUA Server. Clicking on the dots opens the About page with a focus on a new Health Checks tab, which provides details of health issues.
• All customer instances will be upgraded with new server software to keep in step with new releases.
