TrakSYS 14 is Here

ANAHEIM, Calif. — February 17, 2026 — Parsec Automation, LLC (Parsec), today announced the release of TrakSYS 14, a major platform update introducing a wide range of new capabilities designed to help manufacturers scale, govern, and extract real-time insight from complex operations—while preserving the performance, security, and reliability required for execution at the edge.

TrakSYS 14 extends the platform with cloud-connected management, embedded AI-powered insights, and new enterprise solution lifecycle tooling, addressing long-standing challenges manufacturers face as MES environments expand across sites, systems, and teams. Unlike traditional MES upgrades focused on incremental features, TrakSYS 14 represents a deliberate architectural evolution—one that supports modern IT/OT strategies while preserving the flexibility required on the factory floor.

A Platform Built for Scale, Governance, and Intelligence

At the core of TrakSYS 14 is deep integration with TrakSYS Cloud, Parsec’s secure SaaS control plane for managing TrakSYS environments. TrakSYS Cloud provides centralized visibility into licenses, system health, and backups—reducing operational overhead while laying the foundation for future cloud-enabled MES capabilities.

TrakSYS 14 also introduces TrakSYS IQ Assistant, the first AI-powered capability embedded directly into the TrakSYS MES experience. IQ Assistant allows users to interact with manufacturing data using natural language—asking questions, investigating performance issues, generating charts and tables, and summarizing findings without navigating complex dashboards or building custom reports.

TrakSYS 14 includes the debut of Solution Studio, enabling manufacturers and system integrators to develop, version, and promote standardized MES solutions across environments while preserving site-specific configuration. This structured approach replaces error-prone copy-and-paste methods with governed lifecycle management—supporting faster rollouts, safer changes, and long-term maintainability.

Additional platform enhancements in TrakSYS 14 include native Sparkplug B over MQTT support for structured IIoT data exchange, containerized services for modern deployment strategies, and cloud-managed repositories that allow teams to reuse containers and AI views across sites.

Designed for Real-World Manufacturing Complexity

“TrakSYS 14 is not about forcing customers into a one-size-fits-all architecture,” said Bill Rokos, Chief Technology Officer at Parsec.

“It’s about making MES more scalable, more governable, and more effective at delivering value—whether you’re running on-prem, hybrid, or gradually modernizing toward the cloud. We focused on solving the real problems manufacturers face as MES grows: governance, lifecycle control, and access to insights.”

Rokos added, “With TrakSYS Cloud, IQ Assistant, andSolution Studio working together, customers can standardize globally without sacrificing local flexibility, and they can do it without rebuilding or re-implementing their MES every time they expand.”

Enabling the Next Phase of Manufacturing Modernization

For Parsec, TrakSYS 14 reinforces a long-term strategy centered on platform scalability, intelligence, and operational resilience.

“Manufacturers today are under pressure to scale faster, operate more efficiently, and extract more value from their data—without increasing risk,” said Eddy Azad, CEO of Parsec.

“With TrakSYS 14, we focused on making complex MES initiatives as simple as possible—standardizing what should be standard, preserving flexibility where it’s needed, and using cloud and AI to accelerate insight and execution. The goal isn’t technology for its own sake; it’s delivering value sooner, more reliably, and at scale.”

Availability

TrakSYS 14 is available immediately. New customers deployingTrakSYS 14 receive access to TrakSYS Cloud, with additional capabilities available based on configuration and licensing. Existing customers can upgrade to TrakSYS 14 in accordance with Parsec’s standard release and support policies.
