Rockwell Automation to ship FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition.
Rockwell Automation has announced the launch of the FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition (ME) module, which will soon be available for order. This machine level data historian is designed to help manufacturers mitigate the risk of machine downtime and reach continuous process improvement goals.
FactoryTalk Historian ME is an embedded module hardened for on-machine data collection that features a limited software footprint, no moving parts and reduced risk of data loss due to network or other system interruption. It helps manufacturers transform manufacturing intelligence into process improvements by leveraging reliable, realtime production data to improve product quality, time-to-market and regulatory compliance.
Rockwell Automation designed the historian as part of a distributed, tiered architecture that allows employees in different locations and at different operating levels to view and analyse appropriate historical data. Operators, for example, can view data from the specific machine they are using, while plant-level supervisors can view individual machines or complete lines to build realtime comparisons against standards and assess critical batch or process performance. Senior management can use the same technology to develop executive dashboards that compare key performance indicators (KPIs) across multiple locations.
The module reduces implementation time as it is directly installed in the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix backplane, then auto-detects the controllers, and configures all relevant tags. Data capture capabilities produce granular, historical data that helps provide effective sequence of events analysis, improving both product quality and customer satisfaction. For machine builders in highly-regulated industries, FactoryTalk Historian ME helps provide continuous uptime and reliability to help meet government regulations.
Control system for deep antenna Rockwell Automation
Motion Control & Drives
When a major university in South Korea set out to build a 21-metre deep space antenna, the researchers needed a control system that could track celestial objects with pinpoint accuracy, a level of precision they thought was out of reach. By partnering with Rockwell Automation, they discovered that the right technology and support could turn their vision into reality.
