Rockwell Automation launched the FactoryTalk Orchestration platform at Automate 2026 in Chicago.
Rockwell Automation announced the launch of FactoryTalk Orchestration software at Automate 2026 in Chicago.
The company said that the new platform is designed to coordinate material flow and production processes from end-to-end.

Rockwell said that FactoryTalk Orchestration software is a key component of the company’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 system standardizes connectivity across the portfolio, including OTTO 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, Rockwell Automation said that FactoryTalk Orchestration software helps manufacturers:
At Rockwell’s Twinsburg, Ohio facility, the company said that the 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 platform is now expanding to additional Rockwell manufacturing facilities worldwide.
In addition to the FactoryTalk Orchestration demonstrations during Automate 2026, visitors can also see how Emulate3D digital twin software and OTTO AMRs work alongside the system to enable more coordinated, end-to-end operations across the plant.
