Rockwell Automation said that the acquisition of Incuity Software will help it expand its FactoryTalk software suite.
Incuity Software, a supplier of enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI) software, has been acquired by Rockwell Automation.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Rockwell Automation said that the acquisition will help it expand its FactoryTalk software suite.
Incuity's products are used to monitor production operations and enterprise systems for manufacturing.
"This acquisition is a key milestone in the continued expansion of our FactoryTalk software suite", said Kevin Roach, Vice President, Rockwell Software.
"The newest software, IncuityEMI 2.6, easily integrates many disparate information sources from production operations and other enterprise systems".
"Combining Incuity's capabilities with the FactoryTalk integrated production management and performance suite will create tremendous value for our customers".
"Incuity Software currently has more than 45,000 seats of its products installed in more than 40 countries in 13 languages".
"Its management and employees will become part of Rockwell Automation's Architecture and Software operating segment".
"As the demand for enterprise manufacturing intelligence grows, this acquisition supports our commitment to expand the FactoryTalk software suite and enhance our plantwide information strategy to meet customers' evolving needs", said Steve Eisenbrown, Senior Vice President of Rockwell Automation's Architecture and Software segment.
Doug Lawson, CEO, Incuity Software, said: "Getting enterprise manufacturing information into the hands of decision makers now is a vital business need".
"IncuityEMI gives Rockwell Automation the vital top layer in the information chain where the roles of the ERP vendor and Industrial Automation vendor meet", Roach added.
"This allows us to simplify the typically heterogeneous world of systems generating information and is a platform to build diverse solutions".
"Our strategy is to let customers simplify and rationalise by providing a single source for all their process information needs.
This is a big step to meeting that goal".
"IncuityEMI co-exists with existing control systems and business applications and makes data in these systems visible and actionable by presenting a coherent picture of a company's manufacturing business through familiar internet browser and Microsoft Office interfaces".
IncuityEMI provides the foundation for a range of manufacturing analytics including real-time executive dashboards, automated production reports, key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring and alerts, downtime analysis and reports and process verification and optimisation.
