Rockwell Automation introduces FactoryTalk Optix as a new addition to its visualisation portfolio. Known as ‘visualisation for visionaries’, FactoryTalk Optix is a modern, cloud-enabled human-machine interface (HMI) platform that allows users to design, test and deploy applications directly from a web browser anywhere, anytime.

FactoryTalk Optix is designed to help improve your process, efficiency and deliverables. Gain unlimited options:

• Design options – Design and test your projects in a modern object-oriented programming environment
• Deployment options – Create your application once and deploy to any device
• Graphic options – Style your graphics to support a global audience and provide a responsive experience
• Extensible options – Achieve openness and interoperability through machine-to-machine and machine-to-cloud communications enabled by OPC UA, MQTT, IOT native connectivity and an open C# interface

FactoryTalk Optix is one of the five core solutions in FactoryTalk Design Hub. Industrial organisations can now transform their automation design capabilities with a more simplified, productive way to work powered by the cloud. Teams of all sizes, skillsets and locations can work smarter through enhanced collaboration, improved lifecycle management and on-demand access to cloud-based software all while adhering to the latest security standards and information technology (IT) best practices.

The result is increased design productivity, faster time to market and systems that cost less to build and maintain.
