Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Optix portfolio is a human machine interface (HMI) visualization platform that allows users to design and deploy an HMI that is better suited to their needs. Users can conveniently download the platform from their browser or to their computer.
The FactoryTalk Optix portfolio includes Rockwell Automation’s HMI platform and remote access software, as well as Embedded Edge Compute Modules and a wide range of deployment options.
FactoryTalk Optix provides an open architecture, which brings flexibility, scalability and interoperability. It comes with features such as multi-user collaboration, web-based design and testing, and integrated version control.
FactoryTalk Optix software provides unlimited flexibility and efficiency with object-oriented design, wizard-based workflows and pre-built libraries. The solution is configured so that users can choose their own technology mix.
Rockwell Automation highlighted that users could employ visualization software to design HMI applications that work natively with both Rockwell Automation and third-party controllers and run it on their choice of hardware. The portfolio allows users to connect with various target devices to reference architecture. It interfaces with a variety of third-party software, devices or systems using software designed for interoperability and full OPC UA support.
Rockwell Automation also pointed out that users only pay for the features they need.
