Defining key pricing terms
Get clarity on what’s included in each plan with our dictionary of Autodesk Tandem and Tandem Connect terms.
When you want to integrate a real-life object from your facility (e.g. an HVAC unit) into Autodesk Tandem and attach additional asset data to it, this counts as 1 asset towards your allowance. If you only need the data that’s imported directly from the real-life object, it won’t contribute to your allowance.
This time-series data is stored to help users effectively manage ongoing facility operations. For instance, you could review temperature readings of an asset for the duration of a day via its stream.
Providing you have an active subscription, this data can be retained for up to three years—offering trends and insights about how your building is running over time.
Whether it’s customer-defined or an existing solution supplied within the Autodesk Tandem Connect library, pipelines combine plugins to accelerate integrations or automate repetitive workflows. Once developed, these pipelines can be deployed either in the Autodesk Cloud or to one or more Tandem Connect Outpost devices running within your network. Pipelines can be deployed, run once, and undeployed, or they can stay deployed and run in response to incoming requests, events, or on a schedule.
The smallest module designed using the Tandem Connect platform. A plugin represents an IoT system, a utility service, or a protocol-based communication module. The plugin provides configuration settings which can be tweaked to change the default behavior. There are pre-built plugins available for users to drag and drop on to the platform console.
The Sandbox is an environment used to develop and deploy pipelines for testing purposes. Pipelines deployed in the Sandbox are automatically undeployed after 12 hours. To extend the run time of pipelines, they need to be deployed in the Production environment as part of a paid subscription.
Pipelines deployed to Production have already been tried and tested. Instead of lasting a matter of hours, these pipelines can run for days, months, and often years. These pipelines need to be manually undeployed by the user. To deploy to this environment, you need to have a paid subscription for Tandem and Tandem Connect.
MQTT is a standard messaging protocol widely used in IoT applications. Tandem Connect offers an optional MQTT broker that can be used to coordinate messages between the different IoT systems that support the MQTT protocol. Tandem Connect can receive, process, and send messages using the MQTT standard.

Take Tandem for a test run
The best way to realize the value of digital twin technology is to explore what’s possible—that’s why we offer a free version of Autodesk Tandem. Import your Revit and IFC models, build out complete digital twin test cases, and connect a sample of sensors.
* Free tier of Autodesk Tandem is permitted for use for your internal business needs only, subject to change or termination by Autodesk at any time without notice. Usage is subject to acceptance of and compliance with the terms and conditions of Autodesk Terms of Use.
1 An Asset means any element that has an asset type specified and additional asset data attached via the use of Autodesk Tandem. Elements that contain only data imported from the data source are not counted as Assets.
2 Streams means the data points or readings such as temperature and vibration that come from the connection of a physical device or sensor in Autodesk Tandem and are recorded at a user-defined frequency then stored for a specific retention period (time-series history). For the free offering, the times-series history while the subscription is active would be 14 days. For the standard offering, the time-series history while the subscription is active would be 3 years.
3 The time-series data retention of 3 years is reliant on having an active subscription.
4 Tandem Connect Standard is not available with Tandem for AEC or Tandem Free.
5 Sandbox Pipelines are for development and testing only. Sandbox Pipelines are automatically un-deployed after 12 hours.
6 Tandem Connect MQ Add-on requires Tandem Connect Standard.
