November 12, 2018 — Rockwell Automation and PTC announced that they have launched FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, powered by PTC , a software suite that enables companies to optimize their industrial operations and enhance productivity by providing decision makers with improved data and insights. The 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 .
FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, powered by PTC , works to improve connectivity to operational technology (OT) devices on the plant floor, natively supporting the scalable and secure connection of the most commonly used industrial equipment. Combined with data from information technology (IT) applications and systems, decision makers can now gain a complete digital representation of their industrial equipment, lines, and facilities from anywhere in 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.
