Rockwell Automation wins three Asian Manufacturing Awards

Rockwell Automation was named the Best Internet of Things (IoT) Provider, the Best Programmable Control Systems Provider and the Best Machine Safety Systems Provider in the Asian Manufacturing Awards 2015 — recognising excellence in control, instrumentation and automation products and services across the region, which enable manufacturers in Asia to reach and sustain world-class performance.

“Rockwell Automation has completed its journey to become a connected enterprise — deploying the same technologies it supplies to customers around the world, rigorously connecting manufacturing execution systems to business-critical IT systems to share contextualised information seamlessly. The company is leveraging the proliferation of connected field devices, big data, analytics, cloud computing, virtualisation and mobility so that its customers are more productive and the world is more sustainable,” said Co Gia Nguyen, vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific Business Centre, Rockwell Automation.

“We are pleased to be recognised a second time as the Best IoT Provider in Asia as it is a testament to our strong commitment to continuous innovation — enabling our customers to experience quantifiable operational breakthroughs as they establish connected enterprises.”

Rockwell Automation was also named the Best Programmable Control Systems Provider for the second time, due to its Integrated Architecture System that features the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix programmable automation controller (PAC), ControlLogix PAC and MicroLogix programmable logic controller (PLC) families.

“Rockwell Automation is proud to be recognised as an innovative leader in industrial automation in Asia. Our programmable control systems — from low-cost, simple programming tools, to midrange solutions, to those adopted for large-scale and demanding applications — standardise on a single-control platform for efficient and secure plantwide optimisation,” said Steven Goh, business director, Asia Pacific Business Centre, Rockwell Automation.

Finally, Rockwell Automation was recognised as the Best Machine Safety Systems Provider, in appreciation of its comprehensive portfolio of safety solutions including integrated controls, relays, switches, sensors, drives, I/O modules and connection systems.

“Rockwell Automation has unrivalled credentials for building safety into its company culture, technology and manufacturing processes and procedures — resulting in higher overall equipment effectiveness, less unscheduled downtime and significantly fewer injuries. Moreover, to further emphasise our commitment to safety, we created the annual Manufacturing Safety Excellence Award in 2013 to celebrate the world’s safest manufacturing companies,” said John Bizjak, country manager, Singapore, Rockwell Automation.
