Business objects can now also be executed directly on the browser or on the respective mobile device. They are created centrally and can therefore be reused several times. Read more »

Each connector/business object, widget and data type can now be tagged. For example, project-related configuration objects can be tagged by the project name, which makes them easier to find again.

Every click on the “Deploy” button automatically reloads the preview in the browser.

Within a business object, the most common functions can be accessed using a standard API and auto-completion. Read more »

You can now see via the Logs & Monitoring who lastly made changes within a connector or business object.

Errors in the Simplifier Mobile Client can now be evaluated centrally.

So that you can really check how much programming effort we avoid through our low-code approach, the degree of configuration is now displayed in percent in the application overview. Read more »

The documentation of the Simplifier REST API is now directly accessible via an HTML site and can be tested directly.

For the scan of meters we now support the technology of our partner Pixolus via configuration.

The background mode can be activated for notifications / push notifications so that the user is informed even without active use of the Simplifier Mobile Client.

When importing Simplifier transports, the user will be made aware of potential conflicts in the future. This creates transparency for shared connectors, data types or business objects. Read more »

For efficient management of dependencies between applications and data from backend systems, we now offer an overview that shows which data is used by which application or which interfaces are integrated in which applications.

We have expanded the configuration options in the Process Designer:

• Load display for access to connectors or business objects can now be switched on and off
• Validation of mandatory parameters for mappings for business objects and connectors
• New toolbar in Process Designer incl. copy & paste function
• Validation of the configuration when saving the user story
• External links in the user stories allow linking to an external project management tool
• Double-click on configuration artifacts to open the configuration directly
• The navigation activity can be linked for follow-up activities and transition effects can be set
• Search for widgets within the Process Designer
• Code in a script activity can be embellished by pretty print

Widgets that are no longer required can be marked as deprecated and are no longer available for use in the UI Designer, but still works in used applications.

We have reworked our Simplifier Universal Client for Android to include the same features as in the iOS Universal Client.

In addition to the function that you can work offline with the Simplifier client or the autostart function for already installed business applications, we now also support the fingerprint sensor for login with Android. Furthermore, the Android client now appears in a new layout in native Android material design.

In addition, we offer optimized menu navigation on data glasses, depending on the hardware completely with voice control. Support information is also automatically transmitted to the server on request.

And for the developers, a developer mode is now available that displays errors from the console directly on the device.

The creation and editing of connectors has now been made clearer and easier.
The creation of a connector is possible via a dialog so that the functionality can be reused in other parts of the Simplifier. The dialog is divided into two sections. On the left side general and login information are displayed, on the right side you will find the type specific information.

The new interface makes it even easier for administrators to monitor data streams. Even failed logins are monitored to prevent Brut Force Attacks.

We have also worked hard on the Simplifier Universal Client – thanks to the new interface we integrate natively into the Apple iOS operating system concept and thereby also support fingerprint sensors for login.

We would like to offer you the greatest possible configuration experience. For this, we are constantly expanding the Simplifier. With the new update, you can also integrate asynchronous connectors (MQTT, OPC UA and push notifications) into your app. This means that data is actively transferred to your device without having to worry about updating. Thus, e.g. you can monitor machine data almost in real time.

Many Simplifier solutions are used by field service engineers or service engineers – often the network connection is fluctuating in terms of quality and availability. The Simplifier therefore offers an intelligent buffering of data with automatic synchronization in online mode for reception problems. In addition, all application data including static files are available on the local device memory and can also be used completely in offline mode.

As the latest innovation, Simplifier applications are also used in Microsoft’s mixed-reality Hololens glasses. In addition, the Simplifier offers a Hololens Addon to provide data from the existing connectors in the 3D reality world.

Thanks to a large number of optimizations in the Simplifier, it is now possible to configure even more than before. Thus, technical requirements as user story are written directly in the Simplifier and linked to the technical workflow. In addition, the mobile actions were enriched by video / audio calls and more. Also, the use of variables and preconfigured masks was introduced for easier handling of application data.
