Rockwell Automation, Inc. announced a series of strategic innovations to its Manufacturing Execution System (MES) portfolio, focused on flexibility, scalability and resiliency.
Rockwell's elastic MES portfolio is a cloud-native, interoperable MES platform designed to unify operations across operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). This elastic, modular approach accelerates time to value, simplifies operations and allows manufacturers to scale capabilities as needed.
“Our elastic MES strategy and investments drive a fundamental shift in how manufacturers connect and optimize their operations,” says Anthony Murphy, VP of product management, Rockwell Automation. “DIY and disparate systems increase cost, risk and complexity. Rockwell’s elastic MES unifies critical applications across OT and IT on a cloud-native, resilient architecture that grows with our customers.”
Key takeaways:
· Rockwell’s MES solutions serve as the digital backbone of modern manufacturing, connecting software, hardware and services into a unified OT/IT environment. Designed for interoperability and scalability, the platform combines the power of the cloud with the resilience of the edge.
- It’s tailored for discrete, hybrid, and regulated industries, ensuring compliance, traceability, and security, and features a multi-tenant Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment with embedded AI technology to guide manufacturers along their autonomous operations journey.
- Seamless connectivity delivers holistic visibility and stronger business resiliency.
- A secure, resilient platform designed to integrate with existing systems and leverage emerging technologies like AI.
- Flexible options from cloud-only to hybrid configurations to fit each site’s operational needs.
