Rockwell Automation and PTC announced that they have launched FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, powered by PTC, a software suite that helps enable companies to better optimize their industrial operations and helps enhance productivity by providing decision makers with improved data and insights. The new suite delivers visibility of operations and systems status from one source of information inside the organization. The collaborative offering is the first to integrate technologies from both companies following the strategic partnership announcement in June 2018.
FactoryTalk InnovationSuite
FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, powered by PTC, helps to improve connectivity to operational technology (OT) devices on the plant floor, natively supporting the connection of commonly used industrial equipment in a more rapid, scalable, and secure fashion. Combined with data from information technology (IT) applications and systems, users can gain a more complete digital representation of their industrial equipment, lines, and facilities from many areas of the enterprise.
Included in this collaborative offering are the FactoryTalk Analytics and MOM platforms, as well as PTC’s ThingWorx Industrial IoT Platform, which includes industrial connectivity from Kepware, and the Vuforia augmented reality solution. Key features of applications within the new collaborative offering include:
- Interfaces that are more intuitive and user-friendly that give users a view of the operations by combining data from multiple IT and OT sources and is tailored to their role. An operations manager, for instance, can view overall performance of a facility, or multiple facilities, before researching the performance of specific equipment or factors impacting OEE.
- Automated advanced analytics of IT and OT sources that can transform large amounts of raw data into actionable or proactive information to help improve performance and reduce the impact of downtime. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology to simplify more complex analytical processes, users can proactively respond to issues ahead of potential critical failures.
- Augmented reality (AR) that delivers more efficient and effective ways of looking at digital information within the physical world. AR enables more efficient training, wider knowledge sharing, and better first-time fix rates. Through the bundled offering, maintenance, for example, can receive digitized work instructions containing real-time performance and service history information so technicians can better diagnose and fix equipment correctly the first time.
