Reaching the Peak: Unlocking Full Potential Once your systems are connected and your data is flowing, the smart manufacturing journey doesn’t end – it evolves. Even with a unified platform in place, there’s still plenty of altitude to gain. Modern tools don’t just...
Scaling the Smart Manufacturing Mountain A step-by-step roadmap to adopting smart manufacturing tools, boosting efficiency, and unifying systems for a smoother digital transformation journey. Embracing new technology in manufacturing is a lot like ascending a mountain...
Introduction Autonomy isn’t a single leap—it’s a series of orchestrated upgrades that start around the line and end inside the control loop. By combining adaptive manufacturing, predictive maintenance, and model predictive control (MPC)—often on a Rockwell Automation...
Introduction Manufacturers don’t become autonomous by adding a single tool—they get there by connecting assets, contextualizing data, and removing slow, manual steps. With platforms and controls from partners like Rockwell Automation—from edge-connected assets to...
Introduction Modern plants juggle dozens of PLCs, HMIs, drives, and engineering workstations across multiple vendors. That complexity—plus frequent changes and tough compliance demands—makes it hard to keep assets synchronized, recoverable, and secure. Octoplant...
Ensuring Traceability and Accountability In industrial plants, every change to PLC programs, SCADA systems, and HMI configurations can impact operations, safety, and regulatory compliance. Maintaining clear audit trails ensures that every modification is traceable,...
