Rockwell Automation develops technologies and provides services that leading manufactures around the world use to their competitive advantage. Whether running a single machine or an entire supply chain, manufacturers rely on its automation, power control, and conversion products and services to manage information flow-from plant to plant, plant floor to the front office, even country to country-to get their products and services to market faster, reduce cost, better utilize power and plant-floor assets, and minimize the risks in their manufacturing environments. Whatever your automation requirement, you’ll find the answer by partnering with Rockwell Automation.

What is Integrated Architecture?

The Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture™ system improves your productivity and reduces total cost of ownership by providing unparalleled functionality, flexibility and scalability. Using sophisticated control, networking, visualization and information technologies, the Integrated Architecture addresses a full range of control and information needs for discrete, motion, process and batch control, drive control, and safety applications.

The Integrated Architecture also addresses plant or enterprise performance and information needs including quality and compliance, production management and asset management. By emphasizing third party connectivity, interoperability and use of open industry standards, the Integrated Architecture provides seamless information integration with the rest of the site or enterprise.

Unlike traditional architectures, the Integrated Architecture reduces total cost of ownership by using a single control infrastructure for the entire range of factory automation applications, large or small. This enables you to reuse engineering designs and practices to reduce development time and cost, quickly respond to customer or market demands, reduce maintenance costs and downtime and easily access plant and production data from business systems for better management decision-making.
