Welcome to this edition of Automation Today
Driving forward
The automotive advantage
As a supplier of solutions to all tiers of the automotive industry, Rockwell Automation is uniquely positioned to help OEMs, suppliers and system integrators work towards common goals such as achieving faster time-to-market, reducing business risk, lowering total cost of ownership, and improving asset utilisation.
From simple components, through automation solutions, right the way up to the enterprise level, Rockwell Automation can offer products, solutions, services and expertise that can help manufacturing companies maximise the efficiency of their people, equipment and processes.
Applications in the automotive industry highlight how our Integrated Architecture approach can not only address automation requirements, but also enable sharing, analysis and reuse of data on a scale never seen before. Indeed, it is only by having complete transparency and traceability of all of the aspects of a manufacturing environment that users can really unlock the true potential of their assets.
This need is not unique to the automotive industry. With this in mind, Rockwell Automation is perfectly placed to offer industry-proven hardware and software solutions to all those that wish to experience the same successes as those in the automotive industry.
This issue of Automation Today gives you just a few ideas that demonstrate the strength and depth of what Rockwell Automation can offer. However, these examples only scratch the surface. To get a better idea of what we can offer, I invite you to visit the ‘industries and solutions’ section of our website, only then can you really appreciate how deep our knowledge goes and how wide we can spread it.
