Rockwell Automation, one of the world's leading companies in industrial automation, informatization and digital transformation, today announced the launch of FactoryTalk® Design Hub™. As industrial companies transform their automated design capabilities with simpler, more efficient ways to work in the cloud, teams, regardless of location, size, or skill set, can improve their collaboration, lifecycle management, and on-demand access to cloud-based software to work better. All of these help improve design efficiency, speed up the time to market, and reduce the development and maintenance costs of the system.
"In this new era where work is no longer limited by time and place, having centralized, on-demand design tools is essential for companies to scale production and easily adapt to changing customer needs," "With FactoryTalk Design Hub, manufacturing engineers can access all of Rockwell Automation's tools and capabilities on a centralized node to effectively design and collaborate across their teams and the entire enterprise," said Brian Shepherd, senior vice president of Software and control systems at Rockwell Automation. "
FactoryTalk Design Hub helps industrial organizations optimize the development and deployment of automation projects while adhering to the latest security standards and information technology (IT) best practices. FactoryTalk Design Hub allows teams to access design content on demand through any Web browser, and the software is always up to date, with the flexibility to scale users and compute power to meet project workload demands.
"The digital transformation of automated design capabilities requires both leveraging cloud computing to maximize the efficiency of control system developers and having all software tools connected to each other via digital lines to maximize collaboration, scalability, and productivity." "Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk Design Hub enables seamless connectivity between the digital threads of its design, visualization, digital twins, storage and remote access software tools," said Craig Resnick, vice president, ARC Advisory Group. Give control system developers instant, on-demand access to all automated design content, no matter where they are located, helping their organizations accelerate initiatives from digital transformation to IT/OT convergence."
Businesses are looking for better ways to solve the most pressing problems. Traditional software design methods are limited in terms of collaboration, scalability and efficiency. Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk Design Hub can effectively address these three issues and meet the design needs of a variety of automated workflows.
Doug Hoffer, Senior Automation Engineer at Samuel Engineering, said: "I am delighted to see Rockwell Automation commit significant resources to this type of development, benefiting control system developers around the world. This could be an important way to link cloud functionality and analytics to the control system development process."
