Product and Tech Session

PT03 - Navigate Change with Modern Remote Support Options

More employees than ever before are working remotely, and new pressures face those remaining on the plant floor or in the field. Rockwell Automation has services available that will make remote monitoring and application support your first line of defense; augmented reality a valuable troubleshooting tool when on-site visits are not possible; and e-learning a way to improve workforce skills. Find out how modern support services can help your organization through these challenging times and beyond.

Product and Tech Session

PT09 - Mechatronics: Help Reduce Design Time and Commissioning Risk

Learn how you can reduce machine design time and commissioning risk by leveraging the Rockwell Automation® Mechatronics solution approach. From virtual design of your integrated robotic solution to cutting edge Independent Cart Technology to virtual commissioning, we’ll demonstrate how a mechatronics lifecycle approach can optimize your machine or line design and get to production faster than before.

Product and Tech Session

PT11 - Reduce Your Design Time for Small and Medium-sized Machines

Reduced design time means faster time to market, especially for small to medium-sized machines. The new Allen-Bradley® Kinetix® 5300 and Kinetix® 5100 servo drives from Rockwell Automation are designed to be paired with Allen-Bradley® controllers & motors, right-sized for small and medium machines. Discover examples of how this design approach can simplify machine design for OEMs and speed time to market.

Hands-on Lab

HOL06 - Virtual Commissioning Using Emulate3D Software

Emulate3D™ software simplifies your control logic testing. This lab will let you experience how Emulate3D™ software can be used to develop, test and produce robust PLC and mid-level control systems offline, before building the real system. By using a 3D model to provide realistic feedback in place of the real automated system, operator training can also become safer, cheaper and does not disrupt existing production.

PSUG

PRPT17 - Startup and Commissioning: It's Risky Business

Automation projects, by their very nature, are fraught with peril. Everyone has a war story or five about a project that went off the rails, blew the budget, blew the schedule and didn’t do what it was intended to do. Join us as we outline the specific actions and new technology to employ to manage risks and avoid common mistakes.
