As manufacturers face growing pressure to modernize aging infrastructure, many are challenged to balance operational continuity with evolving cybersecurity and compliance requirements. Upgrading human machine interface (HMI) systems often requires application redevelopment, panel modifications and production downtime. PanelView Pro addresses these challenges by enabling customers to maintain existing FactoryTalk View ME applications while transitioning to a modern hardware platform.
"Manufacturers need visualization technology that can keep pace with increasingly demanding operations while supporting long-term modernization goals," said Angela Rapko, vice president and general manager, visualization & asset management, Rockwell Automation. "PanelView Pro combines the performance, durability and flexibility customers expect in a modern graphic terminal with a modular design that simplifies maintenance and helps protect existing FactoryTalk View ME investments."
Key features of PanelView Pro include:
- High Performance for Demanding Applications – Built on a modern hardware platform, PanelView Pro delivers faster processing, responsive graphics and enhanced connectivity to support today's high-speed manufacturing environments and visualization requirements.
- Modular Designed for Simplified Lifecycle Simplicity – Designed to withstand demanding operating conditions, its modular architecture separates display and logic components, allowing customers to service, replace or upgrade individual modules instead of an entire terminal. This helps reduce maintenance costs, streamline spare parts strategies and improve system availability.
- Cybersecurity-Ready for Modern Operations – Built on a managed operating system with secure remote access capabilities, PanelView Pro helps manufacturers address evolving cybersecurity requirements, support modernization initiatives and reduce risk across connected operations.
- Straightforward Modernization Path – PanelView Pro supports application reuse and common cutouts to help simplify migration from PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminals, reducing engineering effort and reducing downtime, while avoiding unnecessary panel redesign.
"Manufacturers need practical ways to modernize aging HMI infrastructure while maintaining production continuity, strengthening cybersecurity and preparing for AI-enabled operations that depend on better plant-floor visibility and contextual information," said Craig Resnick, vice president, ARC Advisory Group. "PanelView Pro addresses these priorities with higher-performance visualization, improved durability and a modular architecture that supports application reuse, simplifies migration from FactoryTalk View ME and helps protect existing investments. This lifecycle-oriented approach can help reduce the cost, complexity and operational risk of modernization while supporting long-term resilience, maintainability and more informed operational decisions."
PanelView Pro is part of Rockwell's visualization portfolio, providing customers with a clear path for modernizing FactoryTalk View ME applications while simplifying lifecycle management and maintaining a consistent hardware experience across visualization solutions. PanelView Pro will be available to customers beginning in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026, with additional modular components and expanded configurations becoming available throughout 2027.
