FactoryTalk ResilientEdge Capabilities

Unlock autonomous operations

FactoryTalk ResilientEdge is an MES edge solution that delivers continuous, local execution at the edge – while securely synchronizing data flows with the cloud. The scalable architecture builds a strong foundation for advanced AI and automation initiatives – enabling manufacturers to pave the path towards autonomy.

Reduce total cost of ownership

Built on a modern architecture with centralized monitoring, and scalable modularity, FactoryTalk ResilientEdge reduces overhead costs while enabling faster deployments, simpler upgrades, and easy lifecycle management across the enterprise.

Bridge the IT and OT gap

Leveraging the FactoryTalk® Optix™ HMI platform, the FactoryTalk ResilientEdge solution extends manufacturing execution system (MES) capabilities directly into the plant-floor OT environment—enabling real-time insights through a unified operator experience.

Enable an elastic and scalable layer 

FactoryTalk ResilientEdge solution confirms production runs consistently at the edge and in the cloud, extending the elastic MES architecture of Rockwell Automation to unify operations across multiple sites, while keeping local systems running and visible at the enterprise level.

Drive high throughput automation

Built for always-on, highly automated environments, FactoryTalk ResilientEdge enables continuous execution at the edge, minimizing latency even during network disruptions. The result is faster production cycles, higher throughput, and resilient automation that keeps operations running 24/7.

Stay ahead of cybersecurity risks

FactoryTalk ResilientEdge delivers security that is built in—not bolted on. A standardized, centrally governed architecture enables manufacturers to keep pace with evolving policies, compliance requirements, and security threats—without disrupting operations.

FactoryTalk ResilientEdge In Action

See how a unified edge-to-cloud execution layer for Plex MES combines the scalability and agility of the cloud with deterministic, secure plant-level control at the edge.

Edge-to-cloud solution aligned with extreme precision to the pillars of Smart Manufacturing.

FactoryTalk ResilientEdge is designed to provide immediate value for your company, while preparing you for whatever tomorrow brings.
