Rockwell Automation Optimizes Global Manufacturing with Connected Enterprise MES
Rockwell Automation implemented a Process Optimization project in Industrial Machinery. rockwellautomation.com reports no complete outcome metric.
What Rockwell Automation was trying to fix
Rockwell Automation's 20 global manufacturing plants each ran separate ERP systems that didn't communicate with each other, with custom applications monitoring machine data in incompatible ways. Managing a product catalog of 400,000 SKUs and complex supply chains across plants required a unified connected system.
What Rockwell Automation deployed
Rockwell Automation deployed its own Connected Enterprise platform including FactoryTalk ProductionCentre MES and FactoryTalk VantagePoint enterprise manufacturing intelligence software to converge IT and OT across all global plants into a single common manufacturing platform.
Results
The company achieved lower Total Cost of Ownership, faster Time-to-Market, improved overall performance, and enterprise-wide risk management. The solution demonstrated that the company's own technology was effective enough to run its own complex manufacturing operations.
Key Takeaways
- Standardizing ERP and MES across global manufacturing plants eliminates data silos and enables cross-plant optimization
- IT-OT convergence at the enterprise level creates supply chain resilience and enables rapid response to disruptions
- Companies that deploy their own technology internally gain credibility and real-world performance data for customer conversations
