Industrial automation and digital transformation giant Rockwell Automation has begun offering its cloud-enabled human-machine interface (HMI) platform, FactoryTalk Optix, in the Asia Pacific region.
FactoryTalk Optix enables users to design, test, and deploy applications directly from a web browser, allowing them to achieve new levels of collaboration, scalability, and interoperability.
The new HMI platform is one of the five core solutions in FactoryTalk Design Hub, which intends to help industrial organisations transform their automation design capabilities with a more simplified, productive way to work.
Integrated with FactoryTalk Remote Access, the Optix platform can enable users to access machines, controllers or HMI from anywhere using industry standards for cybersecurity.
Remote access is an enabler for on-demand remote assistance, installation, programming, updates, troubleshooting, and maintenance of remote systems and applications.
“I’m calling this release ‘Visualization for Visionaries’ because FactoryTalk Optix unlocks unprecedented collaboration and innovation through cloud-based engineering workflows,” said Adrian Giecco, director for software and control, Rockwell Automation Asia Pacific.
“The result is visually stunning, data-driven, scalable solutions with seamless connectivity, which are faster to create and easier to maintain, to better support our customer’s smart manufacturing efforts,” Giecco added.
