ThingsBoard
Open-source IoT platform for device management and data visualization
What is ThingsBoard?
Try ThingsBoardThingsBoard Trendz is an AI-powered add-on for ThingsBoard that turns raw IoT telemetry into business KPIs and actionable insights. It helps you build reusable metric formulas, spot anomalies, and forecast future behavior so operations teams can move from “what happened” to “what’s likely next” and “how risky it is.” Trendz also supports no-code analytics across dashboards, alerts, and reports within your ThingsBoard deployment.
What does ThingsBoard Trendz do for IoT teams?
Trendz transforms telemetry into clear business KPIs like cost, efficiency, output, quality, and CO₂ estimates. It lets you define “business metrics” on top of your ThingsBoard data and then reuse those KPIs across dashboards, portfolio views, alerts, and reports to support real operational decisions.
How does Trendz help with forecasting and predictive maintenance?
Trendz forecasts charts into the future and verifies prediction accuracy with real-versus-predicted comparisons. It supports use cases like predictive maintenance and health scoring, anomaly detection for fast reaction, and turning forecasts into time-to-threshold alerts and incident triggers.
Can I build KPI formulas and metrics without coding?
Yes. Trendz is a no-code analytics engine that helps you create KPI formulas, derived metrics, and calculated logic instantly without writing code. You can validate calculations on sample data and save computed results back to ThingsBoard telemetry to power automation.
What kinds of anomaly detection and health scoring does Trendz provide?
Trendz can detect unusual behavior such as performance drops, drifts, and spikes using ready-made algorithms and configurable thresholds. It also tracks asset “health” over time against what “good” looks like and helps you pinpoint when behavior changed so investigation can start from a real timestamp.
Does Trendz support no-code data exploration and device/asset comparisons?
Yes. Trendz includes interactive data investigation tools for exploring telemetry with zoom, filters, and side-by-side comparisons. It can rank outliers across similar assets by the KPIs you choose, and then help you drill down with clear visuals to understand what drives the differences.
Where can I deploy Trendz, and does it support ThingsBoard cloud and self-hosting?
Trendz is available across ThingsBoard deployment models: private cloud, public cloud, and self-hosted. You can activate the add-on inside your ThingsBoard environment to access metric exploration and AI features like anomaly detection and predictions without changing your underlying deployment approach.
