Leading global provider of industrial power, automation control and information solutions Rockwell Automation has joined the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA).
Rockwell Automation Australia is the subsidiary of Rockwell Automation, Inc and the company brings together leading global brands in industrial automation which includes Allen-Bradley controls and services and Rockwell Software factory management software. Its broad product mix includes control logic systems, sensors, human-machine interfaces, drive controllers, power devices, and software.
Challenged to differentiate itself amidst global competition and rapidly evolving technology, Rockwell Automation focuses on safety technology and a rigorous Functional Safety Life Cycle approach to harness the inherent value of intelligent safety system designs. This approach can not only help to get machines to market faster, but also reduces design labour time and costs, and ultimately increases the bottom line.
For customers, this means not only delivering safer, flexible, high-performance machines at a competitive price, but also equipping them with current safety control features like safeoff, safe speed and safe networks that improve performance and reduce their costs. Safety can be built into machines upfront at less cost and effort than traditional add-on solutions with products that meet global standards for reliability, stability and quality.
Conducting a risk assessment at the earliest stages of design allows users to more effectively eliminate or minimise hazards that require guarding. Rockwell Automation machine safety consultants can assist at any stage of a safeguarding project. This can include training, standards assistance, risk and hazard assessments, circuit evaluations, system architecture development, system and hard-guarding design, validation and startup.
Rockwell Automation has the experience and proven capability to work with its clients as an automation partner for each stage of the machine’s life cycle — from design, throughout development, to customer delivery and beyond. With a focus on smart, safe, sustainable manufacturing, Rockwell Automation delivers results.
