07 - Rockwell Automation: Scalable and flexible HMI platform
Rockwell Automation adds FactoryTalk Optix to its visualization portfolio. The cloud-enabled human-machine interface (HMI) platform enables users to design, test and deploy applications to any device, anywhere, anytime, directly from a web browser in an object-oriented programming environment. The tool offers openness and interoperability through machine-to-machine and machine-to-cloud communication enabled by OPC UA, MQTT, IOT-native connectivity and an open C# interface. The HMI platform is one of the five core solutions in Rockwell Automation's 'FactoryTalk Design Hub'. According to the provider, industrial companies can transform their automation design capabilities through a simpler, more productive way of working based on the cloud; teams can develop smarter ways of working through improved collaboration, optimized lifecycle management and on-demand access to cloud-based software.
