Rockwell Automation reworks production systems globally

摘要

In 20 production facilities globally, Rockwell Automation is implementing SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) and Rockwell Automation software, replacing disparate customized, homegrown manufacturing execution systems that previously used as many as five ERP systems at one location. Frank Kulaszewicz, senior vice president of architecture and software, and Robert Murphy, vice president of operations, gave the first-day executive address at RSTechED 2014 USA, discussing the journey to a connected enterprise, the enabling tools, and how they were used. RSTechED, a software-focused technology conference, had a record 1,900 expected registrants.
