Rockwell Automation Launches PanelView Pro to Modernize Industrial HMI Systems
Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) introduced PanelView Pro, a new high-performance graphic terminal designed to help manufacturers modernize aging human-machine interface systems while reducing redevelopment work and production downtime.
PanelView Pro is built for FactoryTalk View Machine Edition applications and combines faster processing, more responsive graphics and enhanced connectivity with a modular hardware architecture. The design separates display and logic components, allowing manufacturers to replace or upgrade individual modules rather than an entire terminal.
Rockwell said the system is also designed around modern cybersecurity requirements, including a managed operating system and secure remote-access capabilities. The platform supports reuse of existing FactoryTalk View ME applications and common panel cutouts, simplifying migration from PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminals.
The product targets manufacturers seeking to upgrade plant-floor visualization infrastructure without extensive application redevelopment or panel redesign. Rockwell said the approach can reduce maintenance costs, simplify spare-parts management and improve system availability.
PanelView Pro will become available beginning in the fourth quarter of 2026, with additional modular components and expanded configurations expected throughout 2027.
The launch strengthens Rockwell Automation’s visualization portfolio and supports its broader strategy of helping industrial customers modernize connected operations while preserving existing automation investments.
