Rockwell Automation Helps Customers Unlock the Potential of Their Data with the Launch of OptixEdge
Advanced edge gateway solution transforms the way data is processed, enabling time and cost savings
MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 12, 2025 /CNW/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced the global launch of OptixEdge, an innovative edge gateway solution that revolutionizes data processing for industrial customers.
Today's smart machines are generating more data than ever, but according to Rockwell's latest State of Smart Manufacturing Report, only 44% of data is being used effectively. Many companies face challenges that prevent them from utilizing a vast amount of their data, such as network limitations, security concerns, or storage costs. Traditionally, data is sent to distant cloud servers to be processed, but this can be expensive and inefficient.
OptixEdge can directly address these issues by processing information where it's created – at the machine, in real time. It connects to the user's control system through Rockwell's FactoryTalk® Optix™ software to collect, analyze, and send data to the cloud, enabling users to monitor and analyze machine or system data from multiple locations. This means faster insights, lower costs, and smarter decision-making.
"OptixEdge empowers customers to take control of their data like never before, providing powerful edge computing capabilities with flexibility, security, and ease of use," said Jessica Morell, software product manager at Rockwell Automation. "By processing data at its source, OptixEdge enables customers to unlock valuable insights, improve efficiency, and drive innovation across their operations."
Key capabilities of OptixEdge include:
Built-in Wizard App: A pre-installed FactoryTalk Optix application simplifies the data collection process and allows for easy configuration using only a web browser, cutting down on engineering time. It also offers the ability for users to build and deploy custom applications, if preferred.
Designed for efficiency: Allows lightweight applications to run in tandem with included software.
Secure remote access and troubleshooting: Remote assistance is available through FactoryTalk® Remote Access™, allowing remote engineers and maintenance teams to program, configure and troubleshoot systems over a secure VPN connection.
Open and flexible: OptixEdge can be utilized in conjunction with a plant or machine's existing Rockwell hardware or third-party graphic terminals and controllers.
Cost savings and network performance improvement: OptixEdge offers users the ability to send less data to the cloud, which can help save money on storage and improve network performance.

Shares of meatpacking giant JBS rise slightly in debut on the NYSE
Shares of Brazilian meat giant JBS gained 1.6% in as they made their debut Friday on the New York Stock Exchange. Trading in New York has been a long-held goal for JBS, which was founded 72 years ago and is now one of the world's largest meat companies. Half of its annual revenue comes from the U.S., where it has more than 72,000 employees. JBS is America's top beef producer and its second-largest producer of poultry and pork. JBS's minority shareholders voted last month to approve the company's plan to list its shares both in Sao Paulo and New York, casting aside opposition from environmental groups, U.S. lawmakers and others who noted JBS' record of corruption, monopolistic behavior and environmental destruction. JBS said a dual listing would give it broader access to investors and more competitive interest rates, which would help it finance its growth. It has also said a U.S. listing would subject it to more oversight from regulators. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved JBS's planned listing last month. Still, the proposed listing has received significant pushback. Earlier this week, Mighty Earth, an environmental group, said it sent a letter to the NYSE board urging it to decline the listing. Mighty Earth contends that JBS is illegally profiting from deforested land in Brazil. Glass Lewis, an influential independent investor advisory firm, was also among those recommending that JBS's shareholders reject the planned listing. In its report, Glass Lewis said the recent return of brothers Joesley and Wesley Batista to the JBS board should concern investors. The brothers, who are the sons of JBS' founder, were briefly jailed in Brazil in 2017 on bribery and corruption charges. Glass Lewis also objected to the company's plan for dual share classes, which give the Batistas and other controlling shareholders more voting power.
