Automation Today - 3-2006
Welcome to this edition of Automation Today
Efficiency...
...your key to competitiveness
Rockwell Automation, as a truly global company, serves machine builders in multiple markets and industries across the globe. At any given time, a high number of specialists are assisting and consulting hundreds of customers in the individual countries and regions.
The exchange of best-practices, value propositions and international references help us to further build our domain expertise – enabling us to become the most valued global supplier of power control & information solutions. Having already seen technology and expertise proven in one industry, we then disseminate this knowledge across all the markets we serve. It is true to say that this approach puts us in a position to solve most of the issues faced by modern manufacturing operations.
The development of leading-edge technology, like our Logix family – a scalable and multidiscipline controller platform – is a perfect example of a solution that satisfies the needs of even the most diverse manufacturing operations. Using technology like this, reduced cost of ownership, increased productivity and faster time to market are all goals we share and achieve with our customers.
As Rockwell Automation has proven, only a truly integrated approach can help companies tap in to the wealth of knowledge, capabilities and performance available from their manufacturing infrastructure. But getting this information is only half the story; only by formalising this data, interrogating it and then making business decisions based on what is available, can companies expect to make the very best of their assets.
With advanced developments in open, factory-wide communication protocols such Ethernet/IP and a product range that takes advantage of this communication capability, Rockwell Automation is in a prime position to not only solve many OEM manufacturing challenges, but also to help improve factory and plant operations by an order of magnitude.
We hope you enjoy this issue of Automation Today. With its focus on OEMs I am sure you will find answers to questions that impact your ability to function as a leader in your field.
