Rockwell Automation Sees Growing Market in Asia's Booming Fiber Industry

摘要

Rockwell Automation, the leading global provider of industrial automation power, control and information solutions sees a burgeoning market for automation in Asia's fiber industry. Given that motors used in the process are among the largest energy users in a factory, the company hopes its solutions will enable savings and improved quality for the fiber producers as well as machinery makers. The company provides solutions for the world's largest fiberglass manufacturer, as well as complete finishing and dyeing control solutions for natural fiber fabric. Their ability to control drives, machine logic, and process control in the same Logix processor is a tremendous cost advantage to machine builders in all segments of this industry. Rockwell Automation's Logix Control Platform uses a single programming and configuration software package, so machine builders can scale up or down whenever they need to. In addition, machine builders are being asked to tie their machines closer to upstream and downstream operations, as well as enterprise-wide information systems. The Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture~(TM)'s information-enabling capabilities are ideal for facilitating this horizontal and vertical convergence.
