Solutions for Manufacturing and Assembly OEMs

What there was a way to deploy HMI solutions that are more dynamic, easier to use and better aligned with your customer’s operations? Our FactoryTalk® Optix™ software prioritizes flexibility and openness to empower teams with intuitive workflows and easy access to production critical. This modular, cloud-based and platform-independent platform can transform your design workflows to be more productive and help you deploy more innovative machines. See how with FactoryTalk Optix you can:

• Design and test HMI projects directly from a web browser via the cloud or desktop installable design software.
• Build projects faster with pre-built libraries and a comprehensive set of graphical objects, including industry standard objects and Rockwell Automation standard libraries.
• Create your application once and deploy to any device with an all-object-oriented graphical design that automatically repositions content based on screen size and ratio changes.

Delivering optimized and intuitive manufacturing and assembly machines is a core component in maintaining your competitive advantage. With our integrated robot solutions, you can simplify the development of even your most complex machine designs and create better connected systems where synchronization and coordination is easier than ever. Discover how your can realize the full potential of your robot systems and:

• Create faster, more flexible machines with better integration of robots and other motion devices
• Launch systems faster using a single environment for system-wide control
• Improve customer value with simpler, more user-friendly designs
• Empower teams by adding robotics capabilities to those proficient in the Studio 5000 environment

Whether they’re stamping sheet metal, assembling vehicle parts, fabricating semiconductor wafers or assembling medical devices, your customer’s need high-performing equipment that can adapt quickly changing demands. More modular, flexible machines can help. 

Using our On-Machine™ solutions, you create scalable systems that drive productivity, improve profitability and reduce overall risks for your customers. See how by field-mounting your automation technology you can:​

• Simplify machine designs and lower installation costs with fewer components and reduced wiring
• Optimize floorspace by reducing panel and overall machine size
• Advance sustainability goals by reducing BOM size and removing energy intensive temperature controls
• Help customers profitably adapt to new demands by expanding or adjusting systems without panel redesign
• Design smarter, greener machines with the ability to deliver actionable data insights around energy use and productivity

Rigid processes and long transport times can have wide-reaching impacts for your customers and can be the difference between a justified machine or investment elsewhere. Using our independent cart technology and AMR technologies you can move parts intelligently and unleash new levels of performance, reliability and flexibility in your systems.  

• Increase throughput with faster movement and automatic routing
• Meet demand for high-mix production without the need for additional lines
• Improve flexible operation to make short runs more profitable and expand margins in standard runs
• Raise the productivity of multiple processes with smarter transportation between machines

What if your teams could work seamlessly together to design your automation systems with software that is always up-to-date and easily scaled as your demands change? FactoryTalk Design Hub software brings your design workflows into the cloud to simplify software management and empower your workforce with the tools they need to design, refine and innovate faster. In an increasingly complex industrial environment, FactoryTalk Design Hub provides a simpler way to achieve the innovation you need to drive your business forward.

• Collaborate seamlessly with teammates regardless of geographic location
• Reduce the need for multiple versions of design software with always-on updates and built-in version control
• Scale your software that’s proportional to your needs
