Intelligent production has quickly moved from hype to sizeable investments in factories of all sizes, resulting in tangible benefits. Rockwell Automation supports this smart-manufacturing vision by bringing The Connected Enterprise to life to facilitate the convergence of shop-floor operations technology (OT) and business-level IT, leveraged over a single, standards-based and secure EtherNet/IP™ framework. The company coined ‘The Connected Enterprise’ to describe those unified firms that are integrating data from self-aware and system-aware intelligent sensors, converting it into contextualised knowledge, and distributing it seamlessly to executives companywide. By doing so, savvy plant managers are enjoying shortened time to market, lowered total cost of ownership, enhanced asset utilisation, minimised enterprise risks, and advanced workforce efficiency.
“As an IoT pioneer, Rockwell Automation has been focusing for several years now on understanding evolving industrial-automation requirements, and combining technology innovation and expertise to simplify those factories’ business experiences. We are leveraging the proliferation of connected field devices, big data/analytics, cloud computing, virtualisation and mobility, so that our users can be further productive in a more sustainable world,” said Tang Poi Toong, Market Access and Marketing Director, Southeast Asia, Rockwell Automation. “We are pleased to be recognised for the third time as the Best IoT Provider in Asia; it is a testament to our strong commitment to continuous innovation – empowering our customers to experience quantifiable operational breakthroughs as they become Connected Enterprises.”
