ThingWorx Remote Access Client (RAC)

ThingWorx Remote Access Client (RAC) is a sophisticated industrial software solution designed to facilitate secure, encrypted connections between enterprise users and remote industrial equipment. Originating as a core component of the ThingWorx Industrial IoT platform, the software was developed to solve the complex challenge of managing machinery and edge devices located in remote or restricted environments. By utilizing the WebSocket Secure protocol, it allows for high-performance data transfer and secure tunneling without compromising corporate network security.

The brand has its roots in the United States, specifically stemming from the collaborative efforts of PTC and its acquisitions in the Internet of Things space. Today, the product is maintained by PTC, a global leader in CAD, PLM, and IoT technologies. While originally an independent software innovator, ThingWorx was acquired by PTC to anchor its digital transformation portfolio. The ongoing development and manufacturing of the software occur through a global network of software engineering hubs, with major oversight and headquarters located in Boston, Massachusetts.
