Active workspace can search and visualize PLM data better !
Problems:
• Time consuming – individual searches,
unrelated results Information silos

• Differences in search requirements

• No system to unify all the data together
• Slow migration issue

TcFTSIndexer is a Java application

TC Server ✓ Is a SOA client that connects to Teamcenter to extract data and index the data
into Solr.
✓ Can be extended to extract external system data and index into Solr.

REST api for data extraction

Return all sensors for specific thing (device).

http://localhost/api/thing/<thingId>/sensors

Return all data for specific sensor Id on specific thing (device).

http://localhost/api/thing/<thingId>/sensor/<sensorId>/data

output:- in JSON [ {“value”:23,timestamp:xyz} , {“value”:43,timestamp:abc} ]
