Machine Builder (OEM) Competency Centre

New OEM Competency Centre opened on 18th September to become the central hub for machine builders from central, northern and eastern Europe and the Benelux countries, complementing the Southern region Competency Centre in Bologna, Italy.

Rockwell Automation Competency Centres both in Hamburg and Bologna have been designed to help machine builders save time, money and resources by providing the engineering experience and support for their applications, and to provide optimum machine performance through advance testing and simulation processes. Visitors can see a range of demonstrations relating to the automation industry.

“ The Competency Centre provided us with the hardware we needed and with a professional team. It has been a big help for our applications. The possibility to simulate all kinds of different situations allowed us to develop a more robust and reliable software, with considerable savings in terms of time and costs. ”
Vincenzo Martino, Electronic Director, Prasmatic - Italy

“ Thanks to the support, competence and availability of the Rockwell Automation Competency Centre staff in Bologna (Italy), we were able to help reduce the commissioning time for our machines and the training for our engineers. ”
Corrado Capuani, Electrical Engineer, Sympak Corazza Spa - Italy

“ We use the facility to prove concepts so we don’t waste time and money later on ”
