OptixPanel Graphic Terminals

OptixPanel™ graphic terminals are sealed HMI appliances that come pre-loaded with FactoryTalk® Optix™ software licenses. This means that the device is an all-in-one solution that’s ready to run at first power-up and costs less than an industrial PC. The pre-installed, closed OS reduces risk in implementation and maintenance. OptixPanel graphic terminals run FactoryTalk Optix and FactoryTalk Remote Access software, providing flexibility, scalability and enhanced connectivity.

Helping Improve and Optimize Operations

Like many manufacturers, frequent employee turnover and a lack of technical skills are the primary challenges facing CRG’s customers. But in today’s fast-paced production environments, they no longer have weeks or months to spend training new hires.

“Companies don’t want to buy several different machines to do their packaging,” explained Kevin Houk, OEM Account Leader, Rockwell Automation. “They want one machine that goes from trial and travel sized products to family sized products with minimal changeover time.”

Read our latest case study to discover how FactoryTalk Optix and Rockwell Automation are helping customers like you improve and optimize operations.
