The new product provides a unified execution architecture, bringing intelligence, high resilience, and enterprise-level scalability to modern manufacturing operations.
ShanghaiJune 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK), a global leader in industrial automation, informatization, and digital transformation, today announced the launch of FactoryTalk® ResilientEdge™, a next-generation execution architecture designed for highly automated environments to support autonomous manufacturing operations.
Rockwell Automation Launches FactoryTalk ResilientEdge to Enable Autonomous, Scalable Manufacturing Operations
FactoryTalk ResilientEdge is built on FactoryTalk Optix™ and deeply integrated with the Rockwell portfolio, including the Plex Manufacturing Execution System (MES), to create a unified execution layer spanning equipment, personnel, and production systems. The platform delivers predictable, low-latency execution at the edge, combined with cloud capabilities to support analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) training, and enterprise-level orchestration. This edge-cloud synergy ensures operations can continue even when connectivity is interrupted.
Unified Execution Model
FactoryTalk ResilientEdge transforms advanced manufacturing capabilities into a standardized operational infrastructure by unifying plant models, connectivity, execution logic, and intelligent functions into a single framework. Within FactoryTalk ResilientEdge, users gain access to several innovative features, including a shared production model, native and interoperable connectivity, real-time edge execution embedded with business logic, cloud-scale analytics, and AI capabilities. The result is an execution system that eliminates the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), significantly reducing the complexity of deploying and continuously evolving modern manufacturing operations.
Anthony Murphy, Vice President of Product Management at Rockwell Automation, stated: “With 95% of manufacturers advancing AI and machine learning initiatives, FactoryTalk ResilientEdge introduces a new paradigm for manufacturing execution. Manufacturers can scale automation, intelligence, and autonomy across their operations while retaining the economic and scalability benefits of the cloud, helping them accelerate deployment and reduce total cost of ownership.”
Enabling AI-Driven Autonomous Operations
Modern automation initiatives require reliable execution capabilities, structured data flows, and a scalable architecture as the foundation for advanced analytics and AI applications. FactoryTalk ResilientEdge provides a resilient execution layer that supports advanced analytics, AI, and closed-loop optimization without compromising plant-level performance.
Secure, Interoperable, and Built for Scale
FactoryTalk ResilientEdge helps manufacturers modernize their operations by enhancing operational resilience. The solution is optimized for the Rockwell ecosystem while remaining open and interoperable in heterogeneous production environments. Its performance in security, interoperability, and scalability underscores the strength of Rockwell’s resilient MES solutions.
Accelerating Deployment and Reducing Lifecycle Costs
By reducing integration complexity, enabling centralized monitoring, and supporting modular scalability, FactoryTalk ResilientEdge helps enterprises lower lifecycle costs and accelerate deployment. Its features can be deployed as needed, supporting a phased modernization strategy.
FactoryTalk ResilientEdge represents a fundamental shift in how manufacturers scale their execution systems and is now available globally.
