Rockwell Automation's new FactoryTalk Orchestration software coordinates end-to-end material flow and production processes to improve throughput and operational responsiveness across the factory floor
At Automate 2026, Rockwell Automation, Inc. announced the launch of FactoryTalk Orchestration software, a new solution designed to coordinate material flow and production processes from end-to-end.
FactoryTalk Orchestration software is a key component of Rockwell's production logistics strategy, connecting automated equipment with enterprise and plant systems to coordinate operations using real-time production signals. Built on the FactoryTalk Optix platform, the solution standardizes connectivity across the portfolio, including OTTO autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), with additional ecosystem integrations planned.
"As manufacturers continue investing in automation and robotics, the opportunity is shifting from deploying individual technologies to coordinating them across the operation," said Ara Surenian, Production Logistics Business Manager at Rockwell Automation. "FactoryTalk Orchestration software is designed to help manufacturers move from fragmented automation toward more connected, autonomous operations."
By connecting machines, material handling, and production processes into a unified operation, FactoryTalk Orchestration software helps manufacturers:
- Improve throughput and reduce bottlenecks
- Respond faster to disruptions and changing demand
- Simplify operations through real-time orchestration
At Rockwell's Twinsburg, Ohio facility, FactoryTalk Orchestration software enabled autonomous operations across key production processes, improving drop-off zone space utilization by 70%, and reducing overall material handling space requirements by 50%. The solution is now expanding to additional Rockwell manufacturing facilities worldwide.
Rockwell showcased FactoryTalk Orchestration through a live production logistics demonstration, where visitors saw how Emulate3D digital twin software and OTTO AMRs work alongside the solution to enable more coordinated, end-to-end operations across the plant.
