Optix Gen Automation
OptixGen is an industrial commissioning platform for teams delivering FactoryTalk Optix projects. One Windows Hub, iPad authoring, and read-only field capture — designed so integrators move faster without cutting corners on safety or review.
High-level overview only — technical depth available to pilot partners under NDA.
The platform
OptixGen splits roles across devices so the right work happens in the right place — without mixing field capture, project authority, and review-ready output.
Prove · Generate · Validate
The engineering workstation where projects come together — from source material to review-ready output, on the platform your team already uses.
Author · Review · Accept
Bring sketches, notes, and review packages into the project while the work is still fresh — without losing control of what becomes official.
Capture · Relay · Read-only
Collect field proof without write authority. Evidence flows back to the Hub where your team decides what enters the project record.
Why OptixGen
OptixGen is built for integrators who need speed, consistency, and safety — without giving up engineering review or cutting corners on field work.
Kick off FactoryTalk Optix jobs with structure instead of a blank screen — so your team spends time on the machine, not the setup.
Carry the same quality bar from job to job and line to line. Standardize how your team captures intent, reviews work, and hands off to the customer.
Organize field notes, reviews, and project history in one workspace — so sign-off is based on what was actually verified.
Plant-floor capture stays read-only. Nothing writes to your PLC from a phone or tablet without your team explicitly accepting it on the Hub.
Shape clearer operator screens and workflows before final HMI development — with review-ready output, not promises of a finished panel.
Purpose-built for FactoryTalk Optix commissioning — not a generic SCADA bolt-on that fights your toolchain.
Solutions
What OptixGen is designed to help you achieve — from the first site visit through customer handoff.
Turn machine ideas, field notes, and operator needs into a clear project plan everyone can follow.
Kick off automation projects with structure instead of a blank page.
Help teams organize scope, notes, and reviews so less gets lost between groups.
Give engineering, maintenance, and operations a shared view of the work in progress.
Bring plant-floor observations into the project while details are still fresh.
Build a repeatable approach for projects across machines, lines, and sites.
Make machines easier to understand, troubleshoot, and improve after startup.
Catch missing details and disconnects earlier — before they become expensive surprises.
Shape a clearer operator experience before final HMI development begins.
Support upgrades, rebuilds, and continuous improvement with a stronger commissioning front end.
Capabilities
OptixGen spans the commissioning arc from first intake through customer delivery — with the guardrails industrial teams expect.
Bring commissioning inputs into one workspace and produce review-ready Optix project output your team can validate before release.
Keep human judgment in the loop. Field evidence and advisory suggestions stay gated until your team accepts them.
Plan operator-facing structure before runtime — so screen work starts from intent, not guesswork.
Scope plant-floor reads to the active project — read-only by default on customer networks.
Tie parts lists and customer deliverables to the same workspace your engineers already trust.
Seat-based access and admin controls built for integrator delivery models.
Workflow
A straightforward commissioning arc — from workspace setup through field proof to customer delivery.
Start from your Hub on Windows. One workspace per customer project — source files, submissions, and output stay together.
Capture sketches, notes, and review packages in the field or at the desk. Pair tablets to the Hub with controlled access.
Produce review-ready project output and validate it against your standards before anything goes to the customer.
iPhone captures read-only field proof on the plant network. Your team accepts what enters the project record.
Hand off review-ready Optix projects and customer-facing reports — with an audit trail from intake to acceptance.
Detailed workflows and product demonstrations are available to pilot partners under NDA.
Trust & safety
Field devices relay evidence — they do not silently promote tags or write to PLCs.
Short-lived PINs bind phones and tablets to the correct Hub workspace.
Advisory suggestions and field evidence require explicit acceptance — nothing silently becomes project truth.
Project output is checked against your rules before it becomes customer-facing.

Who it's for
Standardize Optix delivery across projects. Reduce manual HMI assembly and repeat the same quality bar job after job.
Spend less time on repetitive screen work and more on machine-specific logic and operator experience.
Collect field proof with read-only safety. Know what was verified before sign-off.
Template repeatable machine lines with a Hub-centric workflow — details for OEM programs at launch.
Why OptixGen
OptixGen is purpose-built for FactoryTalk Optix commissioning — not a bolt-on for every vendor stack.

Early access
OptixGen is in active development. We're working with a small number of Rockwell-centric integrators before public launch. Demos, pricing, and full product documentation will follow closed beta feedback.
