Rockwell Software FactoryTalk® wins "Technology of the Year"
IndustryWeek has awarded Rockwell Software FactoryTalk® from Rockwell Automation with the prestigious "Technology of the Year — Integrating Factory Data." Each December since 1993 IndustryWeek's Technology and Innovation Awards Program celebrates the primary drivers of the world's economic progress — innovators and technologies. The awards are given in the spirit of Josef Schumpeter, the distinguished Harvard economist and social theorist who posited more than 50 years ago that the mission of both organizations and societies should be to accelerate the pace of innovation.
The premise for Rockwell Software FactoryTalk is that data integration is a critical production-floor issue; an issue that offers substantial competitive benefits. "With increased demands on manufacturers to improve quality, reduce costs, increase productivity and meet regulatory compliance, the integration of the factory floor with information systems is no longer a luxury — it's a strategic imperative," says Kevin Roach, vice president of Milwaukee-based Rockwell Software, a division of Rockwell Automation.
