Rotork joins the Open Integration network

Endress+Hauser has announced that flow control company Rotork has joined its Open Integration partner network.

The Endress+Hauser Open Integration partner program unites 13 manufacturers that want to ensure the streamlined interaction of their complementing products and find answers to the question of how field instruments and components can be easily integrated into digitalised automation systems.

“Having Rotork join our partner program provides us with additional expertise in actuators, instrumentation and the larger flow control market,” said Jörg Reinkensmeier, Marketing Manager at Endress+Hauser. “We will exploit this potential together with all of our Open Integration partners giving our customers freedom of choice.”

The Open Integration cooperation partners test and document the integration of their offerings and how digitalisation may be fully utilised within typical process automation applications. Users benefit in two ways by being able to combine the best-of-breed products for their plant operation as well as fast and smooth commissioning. Automation technology suppliers value the advantages of the Open Integration program as well, as they can ensure fine tuning of the combined offering well in advance of installing and commissioning at customers’ sites.

Rotork is a global provider of mission-critical flow control and instrumentation solutions for oil and gas, water and wastewater, power, chemical, process and industrial applications. Rotork aims to help its customers around the world to increase operational efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, improve product quality and provide safer working environments.

“This program is a great opportunity to collaborate towards common customer benefits in a pre-sales stage and to extend our scope as a trusted partner in the market,” said Armin Nagel, Head of Sales CPI EMEA at Rotork. “The reliability and quality that we have come to expect from Endress+Hauser is also a key driver at Rotork. The company, and I personally, are looking forward to working together in the future to help our partners to provide premium flow control solutions.”

13 companies have joined Endress+Hauser’s partner program. Members are well-known suppliers of control technology, fieldbus infrastructure, measurement technology or actuator technology like Auma Riester, Bürkert, Festo, Flowserve, Hima Paul Hildebrandt, Honeywell Process Solutions, Pepperl+Fuchs, Phoenix Contact, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, Softing Industrial Automation, Turck and now, since the beginning of 2021, Rotork.
