Rockwell Automation Ups Plant-Productivity Game with FactoryTalk TeamONE App
Jane Alexander | November 8, 2016
Big buzz from Rockwell Automation (Milwaukee) today includes news that the company has released its previously announced FactoryTalk TeamONE app for information access and peer collaboration. The expressed goal of the app is “to increase productivity by a minimum of 33 sec./hr., instantly, for every industrial role with zero friction.” According to the company, doing that for a plant that has 2,000 people, on average, could move the productivity needle by $1.4M/year.
Based on the proposition that worker knowledge is as important as data from an automation device, FactoryTalk TeamONE transforms such devices into smart nodes that opportunistically sync and keep industrial communications local. Developed with Microsoft, TeamONE is designed for hybrid connected industrial environments. No servers or special equipment needed: It can be downloaded, installed, and used immediately by anyone on any company or personally owned iOS and Android smartphone.
