RTI will be celebrating its 30th year in business at ISE 2023, with its theme of ‘one platform, unlimited opportunities’ highlighting the flexibility of its Integration Designer 11 programming platform, as well as RTI’s new driver library offering more options than ever for home and business owners to connect to devices and systems.
Throughout ISE, on booth 2K150, dealers will also be able to get the latest on new and improved dealer training options with the RTIXCEL online learning platform.
“ISE is a great opportunity to showcase the new opportunities we are creating for integrators,” said Bill Hensley, RTI’s head of global marketing. “On the residential side, we’ll show everything that makes Integration Designer the fastest custom installation ever, and we’ll showcase more commercial opportunities than ever before, both through updates to Integration Designed, important new drivers, and, of course, from the new KX4 touch panel that’s perfect for a range of commercial control projects, from conference rooms to hotel and multi-dwelling units.”
The company will use the show to show how Integration Designer 11 presents unlimited opportunities within a single platform. The software is designed to enable installers to achieve faster, more efficient installations with all the advanced customisation that RTI is known for.
Of particular interest to residential integrators is the ‘Coral’ template, with pre-configured home pages, swappable backgrounds, customisable scroll bars across the touchscreens and new fonts. While Coral delivers the interface that is exciting for homeowners, integrators benefit from the auto-programming that adds efficiency to projects.
The built-in driver library also adds efficiency, saving time on projects by enabling integrators to find all drivers without leaving the software and searching on a separate driver site.
The large and continuously growing library of drivers available for RTI projects is a major focus for the company, embodied in Driver Friday (new and updated driver releases every Friday) and in the network of independent driver developers writing drivers for residential and commercial integrations. RTI’s mission is to make it extra easy for dealers to programme, connect to, and control any component.
“Throughout our 30 years, user experience for our dealers and their customers has been our continued focus,” added Kevin Marty, RTI co-founder and CTO. “We’re excited about the future and committed to delivering the best control and automation experience available.”
As part of its dealer focus, RTI is highlighting the updated training opportunities now available at the renewed RTIXCEL online learning portal. The training curriculum has been redesigned with field-based and online training for Integration Designer 11, from new single-room and new dealer-authorisation courses to an advanced certified programmer curriculum. And in 2023, RTI is also bringing back its three-day certification training at its headquarters in Minnesota.
