The rapid evolution of technology in industrial automation systems requires tighter integration between devices on the plant floor and the rest of the enterprise. This integration requires a secure network infrastructure, smart devices for efficient data collection, and the ability to turn data into actionable information.
The integration of control and information across the enterprise enables our customers to optimize their operations by connecting the plant, site, facility, and people. We deliver industrial automation and control through our control systems, motor control, and smart devices portfolios. The combination of these three platforms are architected and designed to help you build the most efficient industrial automation system to meet your needs.
As you start to build a connected enterprise, you will need an automation and control system with all devices seamlessly integrated rather than a collection of individual products. We have evolved our products, software, and services to help you bridge the gap between machinery-level systems and enterprise systems to improve decision making.
Our smart devices are an integrated, scalable solution that offers new efficiencies and reduced total cost of ownership. Smart devices help to improve product quality, reduce downtime, and future-proof your investment in smarter machines to allow smarter manufacturing.
Manufacturing systems are being tasked to deliver a rising list of production demands. Implementing robots that are flexible and future-ready is a critical element to meeting these challenges and staying ready for the needs of tomorrow. Control architectures using Rockwell Automation hardware and software make realizing the full potential of robots easier than ever. By connecting robots and control systems via EtherNet/IP, or combining them into a unified system, manufacturers can realize systems that reach operation faster and are more scalable, agile, and connected.
Scalable computing integrates compute functionality into a range of devices that allow you to get more from your machines and equipment. It gives you the ability to get closer to the information, on the machine, where the decisions need to be made.
"Due to positive results from projects implemented by Industrial Automation and Engineering, such as our hydro testing, drying oven and other processes, our company is looking at a long term project to put a full SCADA system together plant wide."
"I used Industrial Automation for many projects over the years, they have the knowledge base and expertise to take your automaton concepts from idea to full implementation. No matter how small or large. They can do it all."
Industrial Automation has worked closely with a variety of companies in diverse industries to develop new systems and to cost-effectively enhance the capabilities of existing machines. As a result of our work together, customers have enjoyed reduced downtime and waste, improved quality, increased efficiency and productivity, enhanced safety, and reduced energy costs.
If you have critical control and automation equipment that has components that are no longer available or the software that is running your equipment has an operating system that is no longer supported, it maybe time to consider an upgrade.

Industrial automation is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machineries in an industry to replace a human being. It is the second step beyond mechanization in the scope of industrialization.
Earlier the purpose of automation was to increase productivity (since automated systems can work 24 hours a day) and to reduce the cost associated with human operators (i.e. wages & benefits). However, today, the focus of automation has shifted to increasing quality and flexibility in the manufacturing process. In the automobile industry, the installation of pistons into the engine used to be performed manually with an error rate of 1-1.5%. Presently, this task is performed using automated machinery with an error rate of 0.00001%.
Lower operating cost: Industrial automation eliminates healthcare costs and paid leave and holidays associated with a human operator. Further, industrial automation does not require other employee benefits such as bonuses, pension coverage, etc. Above all, although it is associated with a high initial cost it saves the monthly wages of the workers which leads to substantial cost savings for the company. The maintenance cost associated with machinery used for industrial automation is less because it does not often fail. If it fails, only computer and maintenance engineers are required to repair it.
Although many companies hire hundreds of production workers for up to three shifts to run the plant for the maximum number of hours, the plant still needs to be closed for maintenance and holidays. Industrial automation fulfills the aim of the company by allowing the company to run a manufacturing plant for 24 hours a day 7 days a week and 365 days a year. This leads to a significant improvement in the productivity of the company.
Automation alleviates the error associated with a human being. Further, unlike human beings, robots do not involve any fatigue, which results in products with uniform quality manufactured at different times.
Adding automated data collection can allow you to collect key production information, improve data accuracy, and reduce your data collection costs. This provides you with the facts to make the right decisions when it comes to reducing waste and improving your processes.
The initial investment associated with making the switch from a human production line to an automatic production line is very high. Also, substantial costs are involved in training employees to handle this new sophisticated equipment.

An industrial control system (ICS) is an electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control. Control systems can range in size from a few modular panel-mounted controllers to large interconnected and interactive distributed control systems (DCSs) with many thousands of field connections. Control systems receive data from remote sensors measuring process variables (PVs), compare the collected data with desired setpoints (SPs), and derive command functions that are used to control a process through the final control elements (FCEs), such as control valves.
