Rockwell to show process capabilities at ACHEMA
A
Rockwell Automation product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Mar 30, 2009
Visitors to ACHEMA this year will be able to see the Rockwell Automation plant-wide solution for the process industry.
The PlantPAx system is a portfolio of products, services and partner systems that address the needs and concerns of a variety of industries.
The company booth will highlight how different facets of the PlantPAx suite can be joined and interlinked, via its integrated architecture technology, to address bespoke process applications.
A number of industry and technology-specific specialists will be available to discuss exact needs and issues relating to specific applications.
Rockwell Automation will also use ACHEMA for the launch of Factorytalk Pharma Suite 1.1, a software suite that covers processes in research and development, clinical manufacturing and commercial manufacturing.
Better weighing workflows and equipment management functions help companies improve regulatory compliance and quality, and streamline their weigh and dispense operations.
Factorytalk Pharma Suite includes pre-defined weighing workflows that guide operators step by step through the process.
This helps to improve process adherence, reduces risk of operator errors and improves quality.
Comprehensive track-and-trace functionality provides complete, correct and electronic documentation of all materials, equipment and personnel involved in the process.
The system automatically detects and records deviations from predefined processes and specifications.
This allows reviewing batch records by exception, which can help reduce review efforts and time for investigations.
Visitors will also be able to see the latest developments that have stemmed from the acquisitions that the company has made.
These include Factorytalk Vantagepoint (formerly Incuity EMI), an EMI and manufacturing reporting application that allows end users to self-configure content-rich, web-based dashboards, trends and reports without expensive, time-consuming support resources.
Technology will also be showcased through modular systems for solvent-recovery systems (Proscon) and ICS Triplex, a company that develops, manufactures and maintains fault-tolerant control systems, control products and automation control software.
Also on show will be technology pods featuring technologies from system providers in the process industry and from the Rockwell Automation Solutions Services business.
Further demonstrations will be given by the Rockwell Automation strategic partner, Endress + Hauser who, using a three-tank simulator, will show how users can precisely measure, evaluate and control mixing and dosing applications using Endress + Hauser sensors linked to a Rockwell Automation digital blending system.
