All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 66 (#ise2023  Prequel) where Justin speaks with Bill Hensley, Head of Global Marketing at RTI. 

Leading control and automation manufacturer RTI is set to celebrate 30 years of technology innovation in booth 2K150 at ISE 2023 in Barcelona. With the theme of "one platform, unlimited opportunities," the company will highlight the flexibility of its Integration Designer 11 programming platform to deliver exceptional control for both residential and commercial projects. Additionally, RTI's new driver library offers more options than ever for home and business owners to connect to devices and systems. The new KX4 in-wall touchpanel with a built-in processor will also be on display, plus dealers will be able to get the latest on new and improved dealer training options with the RTIXCEL online learning platform. 

At ISE, RTI will 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 customization for which RTI is renowned. Of particular interest to residential integrators is the "Coral" template, with pre-configured home pages, swappable backgrounds, customizable 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 every project. Another example of added efficiency is the built-in driver library, which saves time on every project by enabling integrators to find all drivers without leaving the software and searching on a separate driver site. For commercial integrators, the RTI interface can be completely customized, either building off a Coral template, or designing from scratch. RTI delivers ultimate flexibility to meet the customer's specific needs.
