There’s a reason smart manufacturing and digital transformation is changing our production processes and how we do business – smart machines and systems deliver better business outcomes.
This includes more efficiency, higher throughputs, faster start-ups, and greater product customization. And every industrial firm has these goals.
In this issue of Automation Today, we shed light on building smart machines that don’t just deliver data, but rather, translate data into insights that drive better decision-making and offer greater flexibility to deal with increasingly complex requirements. We bring you information on technologies to take advantage of and examples specific to the packaging industry.
Additionally, find out how a mobile grain processing business in Australia upgraded their grain handling machine to comfortably deliver 36 tonnes per hour and better machine control by using a mix of Rockwell Automation technologies including our PowerFlex drives and CompactLogix safety processor.
We recently held our largest annual event, Automation Fair, in Chicago, United States, and it was a great pleasure to see so many customers and partners in-person. If you attended the showcase, thank you for your support! I hope you gained valuable insights and fresh ideas on how to better connect your enterprise end-to-end. Included in this issue are the latest news and announcements from the event as well as information on new product launches including the FactoryTalk Design Hub suite of cloud-based software solutions.
If you are keen to learn more about the evolving state of manufacturing and our vision for the future, there are several virtual on-demand sessions available too. Check them out here.
Lastly, as 2022 comes to close, I hope you had a fruitful past year and wish you a happy and more enriching 2023!
