FACTORYTALK INTEGRATION · BUILT FOR EVERYTHING ELSE

FactoryTalk integration that reaches the systems other tools can't.

Q: FactoryTalk is tied to Rockwell PLCs. Can Rayven bring in non-Rockwell equipment?

Yes. Rayven bridges non-Rockwell [SCADA](/solutions/data-integration-platform/scada-integration), PLCs and historians over OPC-UA and native protocols into the same work order, so OEE and downtime reasons build across mixed equipment, not just the Rockwell stack. See [the Rayven Platform](/platform).

Connect FactoryTalk MES to every ERP, SCADA, quality system + AI agent your plant runs on. Turn work-order execution, PLC machine data and OEE into real-time, AI-ready production data.

THE REALITY

FactoryTalk is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.

FactoryTalk runs the line off the PLCs but ERP posts on a schedule, non-Rockwell equipment is stranded, quality lives elsewhere, and AI has no unified view of OEE or downtime reasons across the plant.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

SaaS-to-SaaS. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for FactoryTalk, Slack + a thousand other SaaS apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

ERP planning systems that release work orders and need completions and consumption back live
SCADA and PLCs beyond the Rockwell stack whose signals should feed the work order
Quality and QMS platforms holding SPC and non-conformance data outside FactoryTalk
Maintenance and CMMS systems needing downtime and asset events from the line
Data warehouses and AI agents needing live OEE, downtime-reason and yield signals across sites

What Rayven reaches

ERP, SCADA, quality, historians + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

FactoryTalk + every ERP, SCADA and quality system
ERP, OPC-UA, SCADA, historians, quality + custom-built connectors.
Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included

WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

FactoryTalk + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

5 examples of what Rayven customers run on FactoryTalk + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.

ERP (work order) → FactoryTalk MES

Work orders dispatch to the line

Work orders, BOM and routings from ERP dispatch into FactoryTalk ProductionCentre. Operators run the live order, with no re-keying between planning and the line.

Booked revenue vs FactoryTalk closed-won this month?

$2.41M booked, $2.39M closed-won. Two deals awaiting invoice - flagged.

FactoryTalkERP (work order)NetSuite

FactoryTalk MES → ERP + planning

Completions and consumption post back

Completions, material consumption, scrap and labour post back to ERP continuously, so cost and planning reflect what the line actually produced.

Which won deals are stuck pre-invoice?

3 stuck. 2 drafts in accounting, 1 awaiting PO. Auto-finalise?

PLC + SCADA → FactoryTalk MES

PLC signals drive live OEE

Machine counts, states and downtime from Rockwell PLCs and non-Rockwell SCADA feed the work order, so OEE and downtime reasons build in real-time across mixed equipment.

Account health snapshot for top tier?

14 accounts green, 3 amber, 1 red. Reasons attached.

Quality and traceability connect

SPC results and non-conformances sync between FactoryTalk and external quality systems, holding traceability from work order to finished unit.

Anything that needs my attention right now?

BEYOND INTEGRATION

Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.

Rayven isn't just a FactoryTalk connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once FactoryTalk is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.

AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)

FactoryTalk data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.

Live AI access (Rayven MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT + Gemini get live, governed access to FactoryTalk and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real FactoryTalk records + numbers.
Learn more →

Automation + AI agents

Workflows + AI agents act on FactoryTalk data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →

Custom apps + portals

Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated FactoryTalk data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.
Learn more →

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. FactoryTalk stays FactoryTalk. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for FactoryTalk Linx PLC tags and non-Rockwell OPC-UA equipment tied to the live work order.

What is FactoryTalk MES integration?

FactoryTalk MES integration is the practice of connecting FactoryTalk ProductionCentre and Metrics to the rest of your operation - ERP, SCADA, quality and AI - so work orders, OEE and downtime reasons are visible everywhere they matter. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, not a single-purpose connector.

How does Rayven connect FactoryTalk MES to other systems?

Rayven uses FactoryTalk's Transaction Manager, ProductionCentre APIs and FactoryTalk Linx tag data for real-time bidirectional sync. Work orders, completions, OEE, downtime and quality events all flow as first-class integration events. See the Rayven Platform for how the integration and data layers fit together.

What systems can Rayven connect FactoryTalk MES to?

Rayven connects FactoryTalk MES to 1,228+ systems including ERP, non-Rockwell SCADA, historians, quality systems and sibling MES tools like Plex Systems and Proficy Smart Factory. Custom integrations are part of done-for-you delivery.

Does Rayven replace FactoryTalk MES?

No. Rayven connects and orchestrates FactoryTalk; it does not replace the MES and does not run the control layer below it. FactoryTalk keeps running the line off the PLCs, while Rayven lifts OEE, downtime and production data into an Industrial AI Data Fabric and connects it to ERP, quality and AI. Read more in how Rayven works.

How long does FactoryTalk MES integration take with Rayven?

Most FactoryTalk MES integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single work-order or OEE-to-ERP flow runs in 2-4 weeks; a full production fabric with mixed SCADA, quality and AI runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.

FactoryTalk is tied to Rockwell PLCs. Can Rayven bring in non-Rockwell equipment?

Yes. Rayven bridges non-Rockwell SCADA, PLCs and historians over OPC-UA and native protocols into the same work order, so OEE and downtime reasons build across mixed equipment, not just the Rockwell stack. See the Rayven Platform.

What are the technical specifics of FactoryTalk MES integration with Rayven?

Rayven integrates FactoryTalk MES through FactoryTalk Transaction Manager, the ProductionCentre APIs and FactoryTalk Linx tag data, and bridges non-Rockwell equipment over OPC-UA, with credential-based authentication on the on-premise stack. Work orders, completions, material consumption, scrap, labour, OEE readings, downtime reasons and non-conformances are preserved with field-level mapping into ERP, SCADA and quality targets. Because FactoryTalk couples tightly to Rockwell PLCs, Rayven brings mixed-vendor machines into the same work order so OEE and downtime build across the whole line. Tag-read volume is managed through batching and back-pressure so high-frequency signals never overwhelm the pipeline. Completions post back to ERP continuously rather than on a schedule. Multi-site estates reconcile to one production master via Rayven's data layer. Validated against FactoryTalk ProductionCentre and FactoryTalk Metrics with non-Rockwell SCADA and quality systems feeding the production record.
