Custom HMI and SCADA software with FT Optix
Development of FactoryTalk Optix® applications for industrial plant supervision
Cutting-edge HMI and SCADA technology: Eureka System’s approach with FT Optix™
In an industrial plant, the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is not just a screen – it’s the meeting point between people, processes, and technology. That’s why at Eureka System, we design custom HMI and SCADA applications, tailored to the specific needs of each client and production process.
We are an Asem Certified System Integrator for the development of vertical solutions based on FactoryTalk Optix. This platform enables us to build modern, responsive HMIs with a high-level user experience, IIoT Gateways, Edge Computing applications, and other solutions aligned with Industry 4.0 standards.
Thanks to our experience across several industries — including Food & Beverage — we have already implemented FT Optix in real-world projects that enhance real-time data visibility, simplify daily operations, and improve communication between operators and machines.
The right machine interface is not a detail — it’s a tool for improving efficiency, quality, and production continuity.
Official Asem – Rockwell Automation System Integrator
We are certified partners for the development of advanced HMI solutions using FT Optix™: a guarantee of expertise, quality, and specialised technical support.
Tailor-made solutions for your plant
We don’t just write code — we integrate FT Optix™ into your existing systems, ensuring operational continuity and delivering real value to your processes.
Support throughout your technology transition
We assist our clients in adopting FT Optix on both new and existing systems, guiding them step by step through the transition to a more modern and scalable HMI/SCADA infrastructure.
Cloud-native collaboration for technical teams
We develop browser-accessible applications, ideal for distributed engineering teams and companies with on-site and remote personnel.
Modularity serving customised automation
FT Optix™ modular architecture allows us to design tailor-made HMI interfaces that can be easily reused across different machines or production lines.
Always-on, up-to-date data
We import and update PLC variables even at runtime, providing operators with continuous monitoring and immediate interaction with the plant.
Built-in interoperability for Industry 4.0
With native OPC UA integration, we securely connect machines to your management systems (MES, ERP, Cloud), enabling true machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.
ROI-driven approach
Together with our clients, we assess the tangible benefits of adopting FT Optix, such as reduced development costs, increased operational efficiency, and easier software maintenance.
In Eureka System, we have already used FactoryTalk Optix in several projects within the food production and water treatment sectors, appreciating its design flexibility, object-oriented logic, and the ability to create scalable interfaces ready for integration in complex environments.
Our experience with FT Optix has allowed us to tackle very diverse scenarios, from developing embedded HMIs on panel-based devices to creating distributed operator interfaces for supervisory systems.
The project shown here is one of three we recently developed using FactoryTalk Optix in the Food & Beverage sector. Specifically, it is a portable system for cartridge filtration testing, used during the validation and prototyping phases of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis plants.
At the heart of the solution is a 12-inch OptixPanel with an interface developed in FactoryTalk Optix, including:
- Real-time monitoring of process parameters
- User-configurable automatic datalogging
- PDF reports generated directly from the HMI
- On-screen notifications and alerts via email and Telegram for full test status control
All within a clear, modern interface designed for industrial environments — even for operators without a background in automation.
Cloud-based development environment and real-time collaboration
With FT Optix, we offer our clients a new way of developing applications — fully cloud-based. This means teams can work remotely, access projects from any browser, and collaborate synchronously thanks to GitHub integration.
An agile solution, ideal for companies with distributed teams and for those looking to reduce software management costs without compromising on control or security.
Modular, flexible and reusable applications
Development with FT Optix allows us to design highly modular and scalable interfaces. This approach shortens development times and makes it easy to reconfigure applications, quickly adapting them to new machines or processes.
A tangible advantage for those operating in dynamic production environments, where time-to-market is key.
Full interoperability with native OPC UA
Connectivity is at the core of the digital factory. FT Optix natively integrates the OPC UA standard, ensuring seamless and secure communication between devices, SCADA systems, MES platforms and cloud infrastructures.
At Eureka System, we leverage this capability to develop integrated, future-proof solutions that are fully compatible with the broader Industry 4.0 ecosystem.
Clear costs and smart token-based licensing
Each FT Optix™ Runtime licence acts as a “token container”, allowing the developer to select and activate only the functions needed for the application. Each function has a specific token value, and some features can be used at no cost.
The selection of components and functions to be activated in the project is made during programming with FT Optix™ Studio.
FT Optix™ Runtime verifies that the total token value of all enabled features stays within the limits of the purchased licence.

Simplified variable import and automatic synchronisation
We chose FT Optix to offer our clients more effective machine monitoring and truly flexible data management.
Integration with PLCs is simple and direct: variables are imported automatically, compared in real time and even synchronised while the project is running. This simplifies interaction with machinery and reduces the risk of error.
Full customisation with C#
Every company has its own specific needs. With FT Optix, we can create fully customised interfaces, also using C# code and integrating existing software or libraries.
It’s the ideal solution for companies that want to innovate while remaining consistent with the tools they already use.
A single platform for HMI, SCADA and IIoT
FT Optix enables the development of automation solutions that go far beyond standard interfaces.
We can build HMI, SCADA, and Industrial IoT applications within a single platform, ensuring consistency, scalability, and visibility across all levels of the production system — less complexity, more control.
Cross-platform support
FT Optix™ Runtime licences are available for:
- both Windows and Linux operating systems
- x86 platforms, including ASEM VK/HT/QT/BM/PB, ASEM 6300, and third-party systems
- ARM platforms on embedded OptixPanel systems.
