Summer ‘24 Release

September 20, 2024

The Summer ‘24 release of Bolt Data Connect is packed with new features designed to enhance your IoT asset management and monitoring experience. These updates focus on improving real-time decision-making, streamlining device management, and boosting system stability.

Real-Time Machine Learning (AI/ML) 

Stay proactive by predicting maintenance needs and reducing downtime

The runtime engine now processes machine learning (ML) model inferences as messages are received, enabling real-time predictions and anomaly detection. 

  • ML Model Inferences: The runtime engine now processes ML model inferences as messages are received, predicting maintenance schedules and detecting anomalies. Active ML inferences are indicated on the digital twin interface, with results such as expected service dates displayed.
  • Custom ML Models: Data scientists can create and upload any ML model (e.g., anomaly detection, value predictions) to the IoT Cloud.
  • Define ML Inferences: ML inferences can be defined in IoT Setup and applied to Thing Types, making them available in calculated fields, alert conditions, visualizations, and data lakes.

Data Lake 2.0

Improve data integrity and system stability 

Offers configurable storage options for platforms available in Analytics and Reporting tools such as Tableau, Data Cloud, and others. Significant improvements in platform stability prevent user errors from affecting system performance.

Language Translations

Ensure compliance and usability across global regions

Allows visualizations and end-user components in Bolt Data Connect to be translated into multiple languages based on system settings. Supports 10 global languages including German, French, Spanish, Japanese, and more, with automation to simplify continued maintenance. 

License Alarms

Admin visibility into license usage to prevent service interruptions  

Provides real-time notifications when device and user app licenses are running low or are about to expire, logged within the platform for easy monitoring. This helps prevent service interruptions by giving administrators visibility into both device and app license usage, allowing timely renewals or adjustments.

Thing Timeline

Improve decision-making with new asset history visualization 

The new Thing Timeline visualization displays a chronological view of asset events including registrations, alerts, downtime records, cases, and work orders. The timeline view can display important events including:

  • IoT Registrations
  • IoT Alert History
  • Asset Downtime Periods
  • Cases and Work Orders
  • Servitization Coverage

Enhanced Auto Registration

Ensure efficient onboarding and deregistration of devices

New IoT registration records can now be auto-created when unrecognized IoT Things are detected by the IoT Cloud, or created in the platform by an integration. This adds flexibility in managing IoT devices, streamlining the process of bringing them online or deactivating them.
