Understanding FactoryTalk TeamONE

In 2017, Rockwell Automation created a powerful app that runs on iOS and Android devices to provide real-time system health and maintenance support of Logix-based solutions. TeamONE can be configured as a collaborative team-based tool for tracking maintenance and health issues in an operating plant. It is capable of syncing data to the cloud and running without internet access.

TeamONE can offer troubleshooting guidance and support as faults or issues are identified. The app allows you to look up information on the fault codes and guides you through the process of troubleshooting the issue to resolution. The app includes a ton of embedded resources, which can be extremely valuable when troubleshooting an issue at a remote site. FactoryTalk TeamONE allows plant operators to walk around the plant network and monitor devices from their mobile phones or tablets without even having to open up a control cabinet.
