Hello, I'm Steve Steve Briant. I'm here to talk to you about our new product FactoryTalk
Optix and its capabilities. I am a principal platform manager for the
visualization software business and
got a packed agenda today. So I'm going to get right into it. We're going to cover a lot
of topics and in the end give you some things that you can use to get
started with FactoryTalk Optix.
And so without a whole lot of delay, let's jump,
right. In and I'll talk to you or introduce to you
a little bit about ASEM and ASEM is a company that we acquired
in 2020. It's located in North Eastern Italy. It's a
beautiful setting a beautiful place. You can see in the foreground. There are D
facilities. Our Factory in the background
is our manufacturing facility. In fact, since this picture was taken
we've expanded and we continue to expand so
very happy to introduce bring this company. P'nay on board they had a 40-year
history when we acquired them
building wonderful Hardware dust real PC's and
was the primary reason for our acquisition was to provide
better access and better ability to deliver part products to
you in a more timely manner. So industrial PCS had been part of their
business again for about 40 years. That was the
hardware part 1 column here that you see
but in addition Into their Hardware, we they have
two very important software products in their portfolio.
So we wanted to bring those to the global market as well
the middle column there. You see a product called FactoryTalk remote access ASEM
has on the market a product called ubiquity which allows their customers to connect
from anywhere on the planet to equipment that is running ASEM Hardware through
this remote access capability you see in this Slide here kind of the key components
something that runs on the engineers desktop manager
and something that it connects to on the remote destination and there's a list of
options that are available in FactoryTalk remote access. We're going to talk about
several of those as we go through the presentation but important part to know
is that ubiquity was ASEM's branded remote access is still serves the market today
FactoryTalk remote access is the globally Rockwell branded remote access.
And how those connector what you can do with them
with Factory chalk Optix will be covered here a little bit as we walk through the
presentation. But the point of today is to talk about Vector
jock Optix and part of Awesome's portfolio included a
product called Unico and we are introducing that to the global
market as FactoryTalk Optix and in addition to
the hardware that you see the icons on the right side of
this graphic their remote access you see in the middle.
We are bringing you factory chalk Optix and some details about Factory chalk Optix in
the next slide or about Unico rather in the next slide. So
Unico was brought to the market to kind of extend
what an HMI can do and you see at the top there is iot. So are the motion of digital
transformation that we talk a lot about today and then history for oh,
those are themes that have been in the market for
many years, but in ASEM's key markets are oems, they've been
asked to provide this kind. Capability and they delivered it with this Unico product
when we decided to bring Unicode to the global market as FactoryTalk
Optix. We kept all those characteristics. In fact, we enhance them
and a couple of key things. I want to highlight
here is that FactoryTalk Optix is open
and we have lots of options and will be discussing those today. So maybe a hint in
The Branding their Optix is not only something that enables you
to see better what's going on in your machine your
equipment your facilities, but it also has a A key tie into being open and giving you
options. So we really like the brand we
really like the product and we're happy to introduce that product you here today? So a
little bit about ASEM little bit about some of the portfolio around that acquisition of
awesome. Let's jump into Optix and how its positioned in our current portfolio. So
FactoryTalk Optix is an addition to our visualization portfolio some of the things
that you see in the graphic on the right hand side are from our effect shock viewport
folio. Our panel view plus line are penalty 5000
line, but because we made this acquisition we were able to bring this Hardware technology
to you Global Market to Market quickly, but also add the software capability to our
portfolio. So we're really excited again
to bring this capability and it's differentiated Behavior. So things you can do
of course with Optix that you probably aren't able to
do with our other portfolio products is going to be a key theme of today's Presentation
one of the things that you'll find right away is Factor chalk Optix is found on Factory
chalk Hub or can be found on Factory chalk Hub. And it's one of the Studio's I called
them that are available. You see them as kind of like bookshelves their
FactoryTalk Design Studio is our new web-based editor for our Logix controller
FactoryTalk Optics Studio in the middle is the editor that you can use to deliver
your affect shock Optix projects and we'll cover that.
And a couple of slides here in a minute Twin Studio lets you do some upfront
engineering using some of our standard tools that are desktop tools but hosted in the
cloud environment and then there's some horizontal kind of
bookshelf capabilities to manage your projects in a secure way and then
remotely connect as I touched on there briefly with remote access.
So FactoryTalk Hub is a place you can go find all these capabilities the tail end of the
presentation are as I finish introducing Optix. I'll tell you a little bit more about
FactoryTalk. Hub so getting into FactoryTalk Optix so
they kind of basics of any visualization product usually as an editor or studio and
then a place where you run that content your project work and that is usually in the
runtime side. So FactoryTalk Optix Studio can be downloaded
and installed on your desktop. You see kind of Icon one. There is showing you hey, you
can use this standard Studio loaded on your desktop user-pakvaluefirst. Edit your
projects package those up and
you deploy them to a runtime that runtime can be located in any
industrial PC and he closed environment like the Optix panels pictured there.
The runtime is a little agent that fires up and executes that HMI project or
visualization project or data moving project. Whatever it is that you
want Optix to do. So the simple way to get started optic Studio
standard simple desktop editor download and
install it. As an emulator built-in so you can test your
projects when you're done testing them. You can deploy
them. You can connect locally to that runtime push it locally
and with optic Studio standard, of course, we can connect to any number of devices run
Optix in any number of places. And of course
as the bullet for indicates week also connect to third-party protocols besides Rockwell
ones. That's kind of the basics optic Studio standard is the intro thing. You need can
grab you can Unloaded mentioned Factory chalk up there briefly. Of
course, you can get it there, but you can also get it from PC d.c. Every place the
place where you're normally go for Rockwell software products and download it there.
So let's talk a little bit about things you can do in addition to those
standards starting blocks of Studio on your desktop
picture cOptix Studio Pro
adds a couple more features same idea, of course having something on your
desktop, but allowing you to do more so you can
affect your chalk optic Studio Pro. We have a web editor. That's get confined on Factory
chalk Hub. You can connect through Factor choc remote
access To a remote destination. So we provide you access to the web editor
from the web editor. You can connect remotely to any
end point. And of course, we have some access or storage
capability on vault that allows you to store your credentials
start. Sorry store your project store your applications
and then also allows you to collaborate so fact shock optic
Studio Pro Builds on
the capabilities of Optix Studio standard. Word
and gives you additional things that you can do the web editor remote access
in the multi-user collaboration and Version Control Management.
I'll jump into those a little bit more in the slides ahead.
But that two foundational things are optic Studio standard
available easy download free install
and optic Studio Pro gives you additional capabilities available
with subscription. So I'll cover those licensing options a
little later. Those are the basics. Those are the
components that you need to get started with FactoryTalk Optix. So what can you
do with it? So let's talk a little bit about product features. And as the hint I
said, I was going to introduce things that are different about FactoryTalk Optix not
maybe the things that are the same about Optix like any traditional HMI Optix has
alarms. It has the ability to read tags from a controller and interact with
loggers and charts and graphs and buttons all the things
you'd expect in a normal age in my but in addition. It has these options and will
highlight those is a product features when we go through the next little bit of this
presentation kind of left or right.
Design options are first and following from the intro slides there
about optic Studio standard and pro. We give you options for how you want to
design your Optix project. You can
use this desktop IDE that you've downloaded installed.
If you've gotten a subscription for Optix Studio Pro,
you can use the web-based editor. You can switch between those two environments
at any time just like Microsoft 365 does
you can run on the Better you can run on the desktop
editor you could deploy from either environment to
your run times again, just emphasizing
Optix Studio gives you options can take either posture. So if you're working
someplace where you don't have internet connectivity
can't use the browser-based editor. No worries. You can connect from your laptop.
Everything works as you'd expect. If you're in a hurry, you
don't have a chance to grab something. Maybe the machine you're connecting from
doesn't have Optix loaded already hit the browser login to the hub use the web-based
editor. So we give you options and the options don't end with the editor.
They include things you can do with the application itself Optix has some amazing
ability to resize
their Project based on the desktop or the sorry the screen size
that you're deploying to and we'll cover that a little bit here in graphics options.
But before we do, let's talk a little bit about another Studio Pro feature.
Multi-user collaboration and Version Control so built into our editor
and the upper left-hand Corner are some controls that let you leverage
that the powerful capabilities of Version Control Systems like those icons you saw on
the previous graphic. You can
save your project locally. It'll have everything Version Control managed. You can
push it to a repository remotely from your desktop
that remotely could be on cloud could be on Remus we give you
plenty of options to use Version Control
the way you want to use it and of course, you can collaborate with others because you
can be working on the exact same project as a
colleague or colleagues who are working with you on a larger project. They can make
changes to the same project and our Version Control back and
highlights what those changes are and you can see those in in real time.
You see in the lower right hand corner of the screen here. There's a project synchronized
ID. It shows you your project you're working with
is consistent with the ones your colleagues are
working with if you'd like to see a history of what's
happened. You see that here and in addition to seeing history. You can also
choose to manage any collisions
or conflicts that happen between you and your pals.
So if you don't like something they're doing you can
override it with yours. We give you the tools for that. You can do it one by one. You can
accept everything remotely accept your changes. So we give you some tools to do that
very efficiently. So you'll notice on this graphic on the upper left corner. There's
some ID that tells you how many changes are being
pushed you can see in the lower right corner an indication of
what changes are being made by your colleagues.
So that's Version Control multi-user collaboration. It's a stack Jacques optic
Studio Pro feature and really powerful again for accelerating
your time to Market letting you collaborate with others also
to let you check in on what Your suppliers are doing if an oem is
building a machine for you and you want to work with them to see what standards they're
grabbing from your corporate standard Library deploying lots of things you can do with that
capability. But once your application is created the next
step is to deploy it somewhere the runtime
is our deployment agent that is installed or can be installed on an open
Windows PC. You see listed here Linux and Windows operating systems are supported.
We also have close devices and we've got a A couple snapshots of those here close devices
or like are panelview plus family are panelview 5000 family the operating systems
built in the runtimes built-in and recently we've released a new product called embedded
Edgecomb putte which goes in a controllogix-xt teen 56 rack. It
runs Optix again gives you a lots of options to deploy and in the case of the embedded
Edgecomb pute there's no screen attached to it. So you can use the web client. You see in
the lower left we allow you to do. Activate
web clients from any runtime of Optix. They show the exact same project that you
would see in the native presentation like on our panels there
but or shown on a web browser and the good thing about Optix or other
benefit about Optix is it we manage what gets deployed so your application definitions
plus the software needed to run it on you can think of that as the the firmware
and or
capabilities there are packaged and deployed to the runtime. I'm from Optix Studio. So
the size of the package what gets run is only what you're using
and the other benefit with Optix as we only
license or charge you for features that you're using
pay for what gets deployed is what the bullet says and
that's what our slides will talk to a little bit later about our licensing options for the
runtime. So really flexible and where you can send it
really flexible on the size of your
application what features you use And and really flexible options for
visualization. You can choose a thick client or full presentation web
client browser, or you can choose not actually
an Optix project isn't required to have visualization.
That's how flexible it is. So
let's talk a little bit about Graphics. So it's a visualization platform. What do you
build with it? Well, you can do your ordinary push-button controls and
Sliders and gauges and all those things we have in our toolbox,
but you can also build arts and crafts and the key thing about Optix is
only can you put the content together, but you don't have to design your application for
a very specific screen size Optix has something called responsive
design that lets you change or it will change for you scale for you
based on the presentation that you're showing. So if you have skinny narrow wide
as the picture shows, maybe a tablet or even a phone
you can design your project to restore. Bond to those
different sheets of glass. This is very critical when you're showing
something in a web page. So you see kind of what the shapes are and Optix gives
you the tools to do that.
So again, depending on other options you may have is you may have
different users and speaking of tablets or
web browsers. You may have most of your situations where you've got a screen a fixed
display, but maybe maintenance person wants to log in from a web browser and
see what's going on in the line or the
machine that options available as well. And you notice here maybe that particular
maintenance person would choose to see the line in a different Locale.
Maybe they would like to
have it. Zenit in Italian or some other language Optix fully supports
each session having a unique presentation of language and units. So local units for
currency for Tate and time. All those things can be changed based on the
user logged in Optix information model enables that per session.
So in addition to those characteristics, we have a grid a trend control. Our Greek
control is kind of a super grid control let you do connections to the real-time engine.
So things that are coming out of your controller can be put in a grid like recipes
or anything that you would imagine you wanted to change dynamically between your controller
and your Optix project you can do in a grid you can also point that same grid control at
a database and manage records and changing Fields Insite. Record sets quite easy with
the data grid the try and control also very powerful. We've enhanced it here in
our upcoming release. So you'll have even
more things you can do with the trend control and then
the last bit of this slide highlights are reporting capability. So
in addition to having the cool graphics, you can package a wysiwyg report
engine kind of build it like a graphic screen header footer
and then content you can trigger that report at any time and a batch end of shift
it alone. Fill out automatically paginate for you
content and the send it where you like so we have all the tools for that built into Optix
another key capability and kind of heading off to the extensible side of Optix
is our library tool. It's built into the editor right at the top little icon with
books. You click it includes things that we ship for you
tons of Industry standard objects, you can use for building your projects.
There's some nice tools for filtering and searching.
And cool thing is you can store your own things
in your project work and share with your own colleagues. So it's
easy as drag and drop you just grab something from the project you and the left
slide it into the library dialog box. And that content is saved in the
library and you can organize that with folders. Like
I show here like you can create your own hierarchy of a machine type
or components inside that machine type you can organize your standards corporate.
Birds and and libraries fully up to you and you can use our multi-user collaboration
capability that you saw for projects also would libraries. So if you have a
corporate standard set of libraries if those changes are made to those libraries,
your users will get notified with that icon as a similar
and be able to pull those changes down to their local editor
and apply them to their local projects.
So other areas of extensibility so Optix again
in its mission for being not just an HMI, but an iot platform and
interoperable platform per industry 40 standards
has also built-in capabilities to move data as this picture on the right indicates with
mqtt also with OPC UA we also have rest apis built in a lot
of
capabilities. This slide is just at the sample
and the sample in the middle shows you a push agent which is super simple to configure
you drag this into your project from our library the push agent
you'll find it under scripts. You just drag it drop it in a folder. It's there at runtime
you drag a Data Logger that you've configured into the top can dynamically link one click
drag
and then give some destination criteria and how often you want data to send and your
Optix project is up and running. From data to what ever Cloud destination you
like and doing that in a store and forward way. So
if it's disconnected it will hold the data when it reconnects it'll send
the data to those are just examples we have many more
kind of coven you're covering the Highlight Reel here of things you can do to connect out
of Optix bringing things into Optix. There's a list of protocols there something
that we've done at Rockwell or
historically done at Rockwell through adding additional capabilities or additional
services. Has with Optix built right in you can talk to not only our logic scan trollers
in a performant way. They are ethernet/ip driver uses the same high-performing
capability that are links products use, but you can also talk to other industrial
protocols to other industrial controllers because we understand that those things are
occasionally in the market that you want to connect to or your customers ask you to
connect to and you need to have this tool handy bright in Optix. No need to add
something additional. I'm speaking of industrial interoperability
and Industry 4.0 at its core Optix has an information model.
What does that mean? It really means object-oriented programming like this picture
shown here. We have type in instance Behavior built-in.
So literally everything in the product you can do with the type
including presentations including any of the scripting that you might want to run
you can shape your type the way you like and then
instantiate it and the linkages are maintained. So
if you want to add something new you just add it to the type and the instances
are populated very powerful very
Efficient and also very well aligned with our controllogix-xt lat form things like
you DTS and AO eyes those types in a controller are reflected easily into Optix.
And in fact, you can pull something in from a controller and if you want to add something
just at the Optix level a new variable and new something you can easily extend that
object. You're reading right out of our controllers in addition to that value. You
can leverage what's going on in the market as
Companion specs so if you are part of the OPC Foundation, you'll find a large list of
campaign respects. The one shown here the vine Stephen
specification gives definition for all of your equipment
really provides a consistent interface. So if you're interested in moving data up to
the next level in your digital transformation for
interoperability with machines for finding efficiencies across your organization's
Optix, let you shape everything as the companion spec describes, so
super powerful very hard to
Do I would say and very powerful to use in the marketplace
so last bit of extensibility here is Optix
allows you to do anything that really you could do with the project tools with the
studio by apis or C sharp scripting you can run things at
design time. You can
run things at runtime think of design time scripts is macros
at design time. You can shape Optix in any way you want the example on the lower right
corner shows. So faceplates for fans, you could create those
destroy them. Either way. The Optix runtime capabilities is super power
and the environment is very tightly coupled. So if you create a piece of scripting
it's packaged up with your you know, text boxes and buttons and everything and shipped
to your runtime. You have to really do nothing except open the editor
add some script components and it's a managed all that for you in the background.
So those are all the kind of features differences the options. I wanted to
highlight going to cover licensing options really quickly here. I'm going to start with
the design time kind of what we started our intro to Optix with
there's two flavors standard and Pro
standard is no cost to you. It's free. You can download
it anytime from fact chalk. He've or PC DC
runs on your desktop lets you do everything you want to do with
Optix except the features.
Pro and features in Pro or bulleted here, they
extend what you can do with Vector talk Optix
course, you have the ID on your desktop, but it turns on all the pro features turn the
pro license turns on the multi-user collab and version management that the features that
are called hosted there as well the web editor and let you do all those
things. So quick summary here. Just if you want to see
that in bullet form to standard and pro
a little bit of the licensing model repeating. There's no charge for Effective
jock optic standard. You can access it anytime. In fact using
Optix Studio standard. You can use the emulator design a project run it
the runtime will run for two hours. So you can
try something out no cost to you and then decide what your project shape is
how big it is what features you use and then purchase the right size runtime
license, which I'll cover here in a second uptick Studio Pro is a subscription
uniquely is associated with you're my rock. Login,
so what does that mean to you is that you can log in from anywhere
use optic Studio Pro. You don't have to be using it just on one
laptop can use it anywhere you can use it as many times as you like it's assigned to you
again. It's a subscription annual subscription
comes with support of excellent option. If you're getting started with Optix,
let's talk a little bit about the runtime side kind of the side of the HMI or
visualization platform that you are using in your facility or your machine.
So Optix is a pay for what you need model.
We provide features in packages and I'll cover that in a second
so you can kind of think of a package like a
shopping cart. How many do you want? What size bag you need depends on
what you're purchasing what you're trying to accomplish.
So if you don't have a lot to accomplish you can purchase an extra small
and five future. Five features in the extra small do what you
want to do. I'll show you some examples in a
second. We scale all the way up to unlimited so we count features through extra-large
and we do keep that unlimited option for very large deployments. But you see the examples
of features here on the right hand side. We do not count alarms tags screens
with FactoryTalk Optix. We are try to avoid what I would call the loading things
that are difficult. Out for you to assess when you're beginning a
project, you know, generally the kinds of things you
need from your project. So those are the things that we sell is
features. You can package them up get the right size package and
deploy your project your runtime. Here's some examples again. These are just
examples you can mix and match features any way you like
and the important thing is we scale from small
to unlimited and the pricing scales according.
And I'll give you a snapshot here in a second, which you can log-in hit our Commerce
portal and get the pricing that your is
right for your Locale and your relationship with Rockwell right from our
Commerce portal before we jump there though. I wanted I mentioned earlier we had closed
panels or Optix panels brand new brand on the market to hint that it runs with
FactoryTalk Optix. The compact is our smaller machine. It has one.
In some limited communication options single large a Jack in the back for ethernet some
serial communication
a little bit smaller memory than our Optix standard which Optix panel
standard which I'll cover
and it comes with small. I small feature token package
and it comes within FactoryTalk remote access runtime built-in. You can upgrade this
panel. If you run if you need more features, we have a very attractive upgrade.
For the runtime and as well, you can upgrade remote access
Pro if you want to or if you need to route from
the ethernet port out to the serial port.
Optix panel standards kind of The Next Step Up in our Optix panel Evolution. You can see
there's more screen sizes here a little bigger licensing package comes
built-in and we provide the remote access Pro
enablement for it and similar to the Optix panel compact. You
can upgrade it one feature size to a large feature token
package if you need to so, those are our two embedded options with
glass with a front end. We have one that is headless
runs in the rack very convenient for
Doing data movement because you can reach into the controller through the back playing
driver pull data out and send it wherever you like. It's an extra small token
package and it
comes packaged with Pro the key attributes here really is to be able
to run things close to the hardware or not have to mount something different and maybe
in some circumstances. You just want to get some data just want to
move things. This card is this new module is attractively priced super
powerful. Awful,
and we're happy to bring that to you to run Optix on
so if you're Kurt curious about this pay what
for what you need you really want to play around with it a little bit
as I mentioned optic Studio kit download it run an emulator the emulator will tell you
what size your application is using if you know already or you just want to fold
do some price checking you can log onto FactoryTalk Hub. You can click the optic
style and we have a runtime sizing tool that you can just walk through answer.
Questions pick the support option you want
copy the license into your buffer head on over to the Commerce portal
and you can get a price quote right there super easy. We're trying to take the friction
out of the
process and speaking of that if you want to get started with Optix, we
have a
many ways to do that as a as easy as possible.
I recommend you log into FactoryTalk Hub. It's a better way to see what's in our
Portfolio, it's also a better way to see what's coming out regularly with FactoryTalk
Optix. Super simple. The QR code will get you there.
But if you just type in FactoryTalk Hub.com hit return and your browser, you'll lay on
there as well. You login with your my Rockwell account. If
you don't have one when you click sign in will route you off to
the page where you can fill out a form and create account again, super easy. The only
thing you need to remember is when you log into the Hub the first time you login,
Need to create an organization or Join one
organizations are really just a collection of things that maybe for your company
many of you might want to use the same set of capabilities or features. It's a place also
where licensing can be managed. So we'll get too deep into that. But
when you first login, you must create or Join one, once you've done that
the tile you see in this picture with a little lock on it that says Optix will the
lock will Here and you'll be able to click through
to the next step and the next step is security. So
we want to make sure all of it the things that you do with us are secure.
So we added multi-factor authentication for affect shock Optix as well as Factory chalk
remote access. So the first time you login you'll
get this dialogue. There's a QR code it click it. It will add Factory chalk Hub to your
authenticator app. There's several listed here that work. Well,
once you've done that there's every time you log in you.
I'll enter a six digit code from that app to give you access to
Optix landing page or remote access
here is the landing page. It's kind of a squashed version of the tile. But when you
see it, you'll you'll kind of get the idea you can open a web browser. Everybody is
when they first log in will get a 90-day trial for Studio Pro again trying to make it
easy for you. You can download effect shock Optix from the
this page directly. For years, I mentioned you can
download it from P CDC directly as well. Super easy.
You can see also some additional resources here in the the resources tab. If you want to
play around with FactoryTalk Optix,
you can click open in browser. Will we run Optix in the background for you? We render a
product project rather an application you could play around with it navigate through it
and when you're done if you want you can click the download button and that
project. Download link will send you over to our
GitHub repository where there's a nice collection of
projects that you can use to some nice follow me examples like how to
build something in Optix like this beautiful tank demo here boiler demo we call it
but it's available on GitHub again. No charge easy to access just click
there. You can see all those applications and there's quite an
exhaustive list. It's growing every day. So check back there. In fact
If you go there you can follow that repository and you'll get a little
notice. When do things are posted there other tools.
You can hit YouTube up. There's a playlist here again
QR code will get you there that playlist will
walk you through a number of vignettes that help you on board
with Optix simple steps creating your first screen
understanding your responsive design the object-oriented Behavior
typical things for data logging getting in and out with Databases and
managing things through Library very very simple short, you can kind of do
one over lunch and before you know, it you'll be an Optix expert
speaking of experts. We have a lot of documentation
in our tech center our Tech Documentation Center
and we're expanding that as fast as we can. We're adding more details
more kind of follow me steps to our literature
Library there. And if you want to do more kind of pre-built
things we have on course Labs. These are VMS
that you can connect through a browser. They have
things like our effects shock Echo loaded for you
completed lab if you want to see what it looks like, but they also have a PDF with a
step by step walkthrough that you can do to arrive at some
outcomes and learn FactoryTalk Optix. The basics are getting some screens going.
The advanced has some really nice integration with our Are kind of more the information
side so many charts lots of neat stuff.
So if you're interested check with your local sales Rockwell
Automation salesperson or your authorized
distributor, they can get you signed up for these on course Labs super easy. Again. All
you need is a web browser. They'll send you a link and you can get started.
So to summarize here. I covered the differences about FactoryTalk
Optix design options how you can deploy things you can do.
Your application I didn't touch on style sheets, but I'll just
say here quickly style sheets are really nice way to change the look and feel of your
project especially if you serve multiple can
projects across multiple customers, you can create a look and feel and changing the style
sheet will change everything in the product. And
we also have a dark mode style sheet, which is sort of a popular thing these days so
maybe if you're a user and you like your HMI and dark mode
you can attach that. So when you log into Optix
changes to dark mode same content that your buddy on another's display is logging in and
getting in light mode. That's the things the magic of style sheets
and then extensibility. I talked about everything there but want to reiterate that
OPC UA not just do we it's not just about the companion specs of
the model, but we also support fully support
the services exposing methods. So if you serve
if you add an OPC, UA server Your Optix project you get a
lot more than just a tag read and write you get alarms you get the full capability of
the model. You can execute methods from a remote client. It really is supporting
industry 40 and its fullness. So
this is a really crazy chart or commercial teams built this to kind of
explain to customers. Here's all the things you can do with an
Optix runtime tons of end points that connect in and out of that. Optix project
I know you have to stare at this but for sure gives you a
bird's eye view of everything you can do with an Optix project in addition to being a
really great HMI. So where are we going maybe a little bit of
wear how we got here what you can do
if a truck Optix program is kind of organized in these four areas,
and we every release we add more to each one of these buckets,
you know, you learned in this presentation. The FactoryTalk Hub contains our new editors
so digital design experience will continue to invest in integrating with our editors.
We're going to increase our architectures from what you can do today to being fully
distributed to include cloud-based deployment options for Optix and then Kris our data
connectivity. Just making it easier to get things from your equipment to things on cloud
or your digital transformation that you are doing or programs. You're running in your
facilities. Each and every day, so getting more value out
of your Automation and we invest in all those regularly
and you get that investment regularly and by regularly, we mean quarterly,
so we release Optix conditionally released Optix in December 20
22. So
as I mentioned it was started as Unico, so it's not really a 100 product even though
today. If you go to our website, you'll see it's
FactoryTalk Optix. It really is a marker of our Global release
affect your talk Optix. We have version 1.3 coming out here in the
next couple of weeks chock full of features 50 some odd features.
I mean, we are adding a lot to the product every release
cycle. So that's part of why I encourage you to go to
FactoryTalk Hub. You can see a work in progress there. We make available
beta releases and they're pretty much as soon as we have something
available tested
we put It up there and every quarter we do what we call stable
release. So 12 is where we're at now 13 will be available shortly
just gives you a bird's eye view of what we're up to
in addition of extra cOptix works with our other products in the portfolio then
manager being one. So if you're a thin
manager customer rest assured Optix can plug into your environment and can be used there
should be available also or have options available for working with pinpoint logic. In
points a new feature that thinmanager makes available really provide some crazy
integration. So if you have an alarm in your Optix application, you can click on it and
it'll pop a screen up open logix-xt signer and Route you right to where that alarm is
occurring if you want to see what's going on. So some really neat stuff you can do with
thinmanager and probably something you didn't expect
is that in addition Optix complements our current portfolio so you can
connect androidtmc Optix runtime to affection appview SE system do all sorts of
things with it. So I kind of think of it as a compliment
complementary offering that you can plug into something you already are running extend its
capabilities use some of the new features that I reviewed with you today, including
that companion spec capability that is really amazing for interrupt.
So maybe the end a little bit with our portfolio and a
snapshot view of things across our
visualization. So if you're really working with Logix compactlogix
controllogix, and you really have a need to just have a machine HMI tightly coupled
few designer panel view 5,000. Maybe your product is easy simple prepackaged
connectivity the products in the middle effects drugged you and me and our panel view
plus line. Have been in the market very stable long-running
tons of features.
I Just Step through a couple things you can do with Vector U SE and Optix to integrate
and then this presentation we've introduced FactoryTalk Optix and our Optix panel. So
great portfolio as the chart at the bottom says if you can't
think of Simplicity to flexibility that gradient
here's a good way of looking at our packages. So
if you are at automation fair, you can see these sessions.
They're available to dig into more of our visualization portfolio.
And I really thank you for your time today and I wish you a good day.
