Rockwell Automation, Inc. launched FactoryTalk Orchestration software, a new solution designed to coordinate material flow and production processes from end-to-end.
“As manufacturers continue investing in automation and robotics, the opportunity is shifting from deploying individual technologies to coordinating them across the operation,” says Ara Surenian, production logistics business manager at Rockwell Automation. “FactoryTalk Orchestration software is designed to help manufacturers move from fragmented automation toward more connected, autonomous operations.”
Key takeaways:
· Built on the FactoryTalk Optix platform, the solution standardizes connectivity across the portfolio, including OTTO autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), with additional ecosystem integrations planned.
· By connecting machines, material handling, and production processes into a unified operation, FactoryTalk Orchestration software helps manufacturers improve throughput and reduce bottlenecks; respond faster to disruptions and changing demand; and simplify operations through real-time orchestration.
