DUSSELDORF, Germany,
April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest
company dedicated to industrial automation and digital
transformation, will showcase its innovative, industry-leading
technology and services with its partners, including Microsoft and
Cisco, at the Hannover Messe 2024 trade fair, April 22-26, in Hannover, Germany.
Rockwell will collaborate with its PartnerNetwork™ ecosystem and
demonstrate solutions that address a variety of challenges for
industrial companies, including modernizing operations, achieving
sustainability goals and accelerating digital transformation.
"Our partnerships embody a shared vision of building and
delivering the best solutions to drive digital transformation in
industry and enable intelligent factories," said Malte Dieckelmann, vice president, enterprise
software sales, Europe,
Middle East and Africa, Rockwell Automation. "We do this by
simplifying how manufacturers design, operate and maintain their
operations and empower their people in a secure, connected
enterprise."
In collaboration with Cisco, Ericsson, Microsoft, ODVA, the OPC
Foundation and NVIDIA, Rockwell will present technology and
services that help solve complex challenges with solutions for the
entire value chain of a digital transformation journey.
Artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous operations, 5G and
cybersecurity are among key technologies that help manufacturers
accelerate their digital transformation. According to Rockwell's
recently published 9th annual "State of Smart Manufacturing
Report," industrial companies around the world cite artificial
intelligence as their top priority for new investment over the next
12 months.
At the Microsoft booth, visitors will see the latest technology
integrations between the two companies, including how AI is
transforming manufacturing through a customer-inspired digital twin
of a quality inspection process using artificial intelligence,
highlighted by a real-world simulation of product sorting and
autonomous material handling.
Following a recently announced collaboration with NVIDIA,
Rockwell will share how it is integrating NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud
application programming interfaces (APIs) into Emulate3D by
Rockwell Automation, bringing users data interoperability, live
collaboration and physically based visualization for designing,
building and operating industrial-scale digital twins of production
systems.
At the Cisco booth, Rockwell will present how the two companies
enable a secure connected industrial environment leveraging
Rockwell's Converged Plantwide EthernetTM reference
architecture (CPwE) with its co-developed industrial ethernet
switching, as well as cybersecurity solutions such as Cisco® Cyber
Vision, which enables network segmentation, asset discovery and
security monitoring.
Rockwell will highlight its collaboration with Ericsson by
demonstrating Plex Asset Performance Management (APM) – enabled by
industrial private 5G connectivity – driving real-time
decision-making and managing new assets such as autonomous mobile
robots (AMRs). Private 5G allows manufacturers to be more agile,
flexible and sustainable while adding more devices and intelligence
to their networks.
Rockwell is also partnering with ODVA, a standards development
organization, to demonstrate the benefits of EtherNet/IP, CIP
Security™ and 5G. Reliable wireless industrial automation
appliances using EtherNet/IP and CIP Safety in private 5G networks
will be shown. Also on display will be recent wireless device
additions to Rockwell's EtherNet/IP product portfolio.
Finally, Rockwell will be at the booth of OPC Foundation, an
industry group that maintains standards for the secure and reliable
information exchange in industrial applications. Rockwell offers
scalable OPC UA solutions for machine builders and end users
through Embedded Edge Compute Modules and the FactoryTalk® Optix™
software platform, supporting heterogeneous software applications
and control environments.
