Operations Software

Gain greater visibility and control of your operations.


Operations software connects people, processes and production information, helping you understand and manage what is happening across your facility. From visualisation and control to production management and performance insight, discover solutions that help increase productivity, improve decision-making and keep manufacturing operations running effectively.


FactoryTalk® Energy Manager™

FactoryTalk® Energy Manager™ is an IT/OT convergence platform that monitors,   analyses, and optimises energy performance at plant, process area, line, and   machine level. Built on FactoryTalk® DataMosaix™, it aggregates and   contextualises energy data from across your operation and covers water, air,   gas, electricity, and steam and presents it through prebuilt real-time dashboards   that make inefficiencies visible and improvement opportunities clear.  

Reporting and notification management keeps the right people informed, while   the ability to compare energy performance across assets, sites, and time periods   gives operations and sustainability teams the insight to set meaningful targets   and track progress against them. The platform also supports forecasting on key   KPIs, intelligent energy assessments, and data correlations to identify anomalies   before they become costly.  

Built for multi-site, enterprise-wide deployment, FactoryTalk Energy Manager   accelerates return on investment and integrates into wider digital transformation programmes rather than functioning as a standalone reporting tool.  

Our team can support the full journey, from initial energy opportunity   analysis and business case development through to implementation, user   adoption, and managed services.


PlantPAx®

PlantPAx is Rockwell Automation's Distributed Control System, designed for producers who need reliable, scalable process control across their operations. It handles process control, power management, and data visibility in a single integrated system, with cybersecurity designed in from the ground up rather than added as an afterthought.

Native integration with the FactoryTalk software portfolio means process data flows through to analytics and enterprise reporting without additional middleware or   manual data handling and reduces both complexity and the risk of information gaps.PlantPAx is built to scale with your operation and sit comfortably within a wider digital transformation strategy. 

Whether you're modernising an existing DCS or specifying a new facility, it provides a foundation that supports operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and the kind of process visibility that drives genuine continuous improvement.

Our team has deep application experience across process industries and can support everything from initial design through to commissioning and ongoing optimisation.


ThinManager®

ThinManager provides centralised configuration and delivery for all the applications, devices, and visual content your plant floor teams rely on from line terminals and control room stations to mobile devices and IP cameras. 

Rather than managing each endpoint separately, ThinManager ensures consistency, controls access, and significantly reduces the time spent maintaining individual devices. Active Directory integration keeps user permissions synchronised across the system, and flexible   screen layouts allow operators to view multiple applications within a single display.

It scales across single sites and multi-facility operations without significant infrastructure changes, making it equally suited to a focused deployment and a complex, geographically distributed environment. 

For operations looking to improve consistency, reduce administrative overhead, and maintain tighter control over who accesses what on the plant floor, ThinManager is a straightforward and proven solution


XLReporter – Automated Plant Reporting

XLReporter connects directly to your existing plant systems: SCADA, historians,   PLCs, databases, and more, without replacing infrastructure or requiring data to   be moved. Reports are built from the source, eliminating the manual combining   of spreadsheets and the errors that come with it.  

Once connected, report generation runs automatically by schedule, shift, batch, machine cycle, process event, alarm event, or on demand. Finished reports are   delivered where your team works whether that’s by email, Microsoft Teams, PDF, print, web portal, cloud upload, or mobile so the right information reaches the   right people without anyone having to ask for it.  

The interface uses familiar Excel-style layouts, meaning your team can work with reports immediately without specialist training. XLReporter handles the data connections, calculations, formatting, and delivery behind the scenes.  

From compliance and OEE to alarm management, batch reporting, and plant performance, XLReporter gives every team a consistent, accurate view of operations. For alarm management specifically, it delivers ISA 18.2 metrics   including flood, chatter, stale, and standing alarms giving the visibility needed to  reduce operator burden, sharpen response times, and drive continuous improvement.  

If your team is still rebuilding the same reports manually, XLReporter is a straightforward fix.


Win 911 performance, monitoring, alarms and notifications

When something goes wrong on the plant floor, the speed of the response matters. Operators can't be everywhere at once and relying on someone to  physically notice a problem before acting on it introduces risk that's entirely   avoidable. WIN-911 ensures that the moment an alarm fires, the right people are notified immediately, wherever they are.

WIN-911 – Remote Alarm Notification

WIN-911 is the world's most widely-used remote alarm notification software, trusted by over 10,000 facilities and 173 Fortune 500 companies. 

It connects directly to your Rockwell Automation SCADA system including RSView32, FactoryTalk® View SE and FactoryTalk® View ME for PanelView™ Plus with no intermediary layer, keeping the path between your control system and your team as short and reliable as possible.

When a problem condition is detected, WIN-911 notifies operators via   smartphone apps, voice calls, text messages, email, web browser, or in-plant   announcement systems. A powerful escalation engine ensures that   unacknowledged alarms don't go unnoticed, and scheduling tools mean the right   people are contacted at the right time. For operations with security requirements  or limited connectivity, WIN-911 also supports notification methods that operate   entirely without the internet.

Key machine data can be included in reports when needed, and the system is   built to work across food and beverage, water and wastewater, life sciences, and   other process-intensive industries.  

WIN-911 lets your team focus on operations with the confidence that if something needs their attention, they'll know about it straight away.


Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform™

Plex is a cloud-based MES that brings production tracking, quality management, inventory, compliance, and performance data together in one platform — giving every team across the business access to the same accurate, up-to-date information. It's designed to replace the manual workarounds and point solutions that accumulate over   time, without the complexity of a traditional MES implementation.

From the plant floor to supply chain management, Plex connects people, systems, machines, and partners in a single environment. That connectivity reduces the risk of errors that come from re-keying data between systems, speeds up response times when issues arise, and gives operations managers the visibility they need to drive continuous improvement rather than simply react to problems.  

Recognised as a leader in the 2024–2025 IDC MarketScape for Manufacturing   Execution Systems, Plex is a proven platform for manufacturers who need a reliable, scalable foundation for smarter operations - whether you're standardising processes across a single site or building consistency across a wider manufacturing network.
