ROCKWELL AUTOMATION
The system also allows operators to make immediate adjustments to manufacturing processes – enhancing process efficiency and product quality whilst reducing environmental impact.
“ These AI capabilities allow us to shift from reactive to proactive sustainability,” Andrea says.
Traditional manufacturing approaches identify problems after they occur, whereas Rockwell’ s AI-powered systems can prevent issues before they impact production, reducing waste and energy consumption. For instance, FactoryTalk Energy Manager provides energy monitoring across plant, process area, line and machine levels. Built on the FactoryTalk
DataMosaix platform, it identifies energy consumption patterns and enables targeted reduction strategies.
The system captures and analyses energy consumption data at device and process levels – and this granular visibility allows operators to make informed adjustments to motors, process parameters and energy-intensive areas.
“ This synergy gives operators the power to make immediate, informed adjustments,” Andrea continues.
The integration delivers measurable results, proven by manufacturers reporting lower emissions, reduced waste and higher product quality through real-time optimisation.
