As consumers, we’ve acclimated to a world where almost everything is at our fingertips, and often, on our doorstep within less than 24 hours! Elevated consumer expectations translate to higher expectations from manufacturers, compounded by economic pressures and sustainability demands. This begs the question: how will manufacturers around the world keep up?
Simple: by partnering.
“We have grown as an ecosystem” and “we can’t do it alone,” says Nicole Denil, vice president of Global Market Access at Rockwell Automation. We at Rockwell Automation understand that no company can do everything for everybody.
And Nicole is right. With the rapid evolution of consumer demands, our Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork™ partner ecosystem has the readiness to respond and address sustainability demands, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory compliance with the application of technology and integration. Keeping up with technology advancements can be overwhelming, so it’s essential to use the industry knowledge and expertise from the partner ecosystem to address challenges.
Our PartnerNetwork™ is composed of localized expertise with global reach and is ready to work with you to address challenges in the packaging industry, such as rising raw materials costs, maintaining quality, new regulations around the use of plastics and other materials requiring design changes, cybersecurity needs, and integration of robotics to meet production goals and workforce shortages.
For example, Technology Partner Doosan helps manufacturers increase efficiency, improve worker safety, and allow resource allocation mitigating workforce challenges with the use of collaborative robots (cobots).
Meanwhile, OEM Partner Delkor is designing machines featuring Rockwell Automation technologies including FactoryTalk® OptixTM, Data ReadyTM, and On-MachineTM ArmorTM Kinetix® and I/O solutions. These state-of-the-art machines can quickly adapt to changing packaging needs to enhance throughput and allow for rapid changeovers, improving overall productivity.
