Leaders in FactoryTalk Optix
Rockwell’s next-generation visualization platform, FactoryTalk Optix, offers modern, responsive HMIs, real-time team collaboration, built-in version control, and seamless integration with third-party systems. It helps simplify design, speed deployment, and support scalable automation across various hardware.
Why Choose FactoryTalk Optix?
FactoryTalk Optix stands out as a modern, future-ready platform for industrial automation by combining powerful visualization with a data-first architecture. Its modern design is centered on structured data models, enabling a streamlined data pipeline from the edge to enterprise analytics platforms. By modeling data in a templated, reusable way, Optix allows systems to scale efficiently while adding critical context that makes operational data far more meaningful and actionable.
Optix is built on open standards, with native OPC UA, support for RESTful APIs, MQTT, and IIoT protocols, and connectivity options for a wide range of PLC platforms and databases. This openness makes FactoryTalk Optix particularly effective as a lightweight middleware layer, enabling use cases such as exposing PLC tags via REST APIs, querying databases directly from PLC triggers, processing Excel files or external data sources, and synchronizing information back into control systems.
By supporting these integration-driven workflows out of the box, Optix bridges IT and OT systems in a practical, scalable way.
- Flexible Deployment
- Collaborative Development
- Scalable Architecture
From an IT perspective, FactoryTalk Optix offers exceptional deployment flexibility. It can run on dedicated Optix Panels or customer-provided hardware and supports both Windows and Linux. Deployment options include bare metal, virtual machines, or Docker containers, allowing Optix to align seamlessly with existing IT standards for Infrastructure, security, maintenance, and lifecycle management.
For development teams, FactoryTalk Optix includes built-in version management, change tracking, and real-time collaboration, enabling multiple engineers to work simultaneously while reducing errors and shortening development cycles. These capabilities support modern engineering workflows and make it easier to maintain consistent standards across projects and teams.
FactoryTalk Optix is inherently scalable, making it suitable for everything from single-machine HMIs to plant‑wide or multisite visualization architectures. By combining open connectivity, flexible deployment, collaborative development, and data-centric design, FactoryTalk Optix helps organizations future-proof their automation strategy, increase productivity, and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape.
Extensive Experience Across All FactoryTalk Platforms
DMC works with the following Rockwell FactoryTalk platforms to support a range of system needs:
FactoryTalk Metrics
Calculate both machine and factory-level OEE and analyze sources of downtime. Compatible with any PLC or HMI via OPC, FactoryTalk Metrics is the perfect solution for real-time factory-wide machine performance analysis and reporting.
FactoryTalk Historian
Maximize your ability to collect time-series data. This historian scales from single-machine data collection (Machine Edition) to factory-wide, large-scale data collection and storage (Site Edition). Powerful reporting and trending tools give you the ability to pinpoint specific details quickly and easily with FactoryTalk Historian.
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
Link your production floor to your factory IT hub with this end-to-end communication server. Move data back and forth from databases to individual controllers, log data in real time, and more. FactoryTalk Transaction Manager creates seamless connections between systems, whether they are Rockwell controllers, third-party PLCs, Microsoft SQL databases, or third-party or legacy data stores.
