Building an Industrial Edge solution using Mendix to monitor factory machines in real time. The devices send high-frequency sensor data, and I need to process and display this data with minimal delay.
Use REST APIs, most Industrial Edge devices can send data via REST calls. You can create a REST API in Mendix to receive this data.
Store Data in Mendix,when Mendix receives sensor data, save it in your domain model (entities).
Show Data in UI, use data grids or widgets to display sensor values on your pages.
Update UI Automatically, use Mendix’s “Refresh in Client” or push notifications (like WebSockets) for near real-time updates.
Keep It Simple First, start with periodic REST calls or manual refresh to get familiar, then add real-time updates later.
Create REST endpoints in Mendix, send data from Industrial Edge devices to those endpoints, save and display data, and update UI using refresh or push methods.
Nice!!!
