Edge MES Fusion runs on compact industrial PCs and uses OPC UA to ingest controller data. Cloud connectors feed Rockwell's FactoryTalk DataMosaix for predictive maintenance, but the system keeps real-time dispatching local to avoid latency issues.

Pilot customers in Ohio's automotive supply chain saw better schedule adherence by letting the cloud service re-sequence orders overnight. Operators receive updated instructions on terminals tied directly to control cabinets.

Rockwell priced the package as a subscription that bundles cybersecurity updates and optional managed services. Partners can extend the system with AI modules certified under Rockwell's PartnerNetwork to add vision inspection or energy optimization.
