Rockwell Automation and Cognite, a global leader in industrial data software, announced a strategic partnership to further unlock the value of manufacturing data and accelerate technological change in the industry. With this partnership, Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk® next generation Edge connectivity products that connect to factory assets, operations management applications and industry customized analytics will be integrated with Cognite Data Fusion®, Cognite’s leading industrial data operations platform. Create an industrial data center that can be used for enterprise-wide expansion.
Rockwell Automation has a strong presence in industrial automation, creating and processing data worldwide. The partnership between Rockwell Automation and Cognite will bring to the market a unique and unified edge to the cloud of industrial data centers, allowing people to understand operational, engineering, enterprise and visual data for use in manufacturing areas across different industries.
The product converts raw data into high-impact applications for making decisions and improving workflow in real time, ensuring safe, efficient and sustainable operations. As Cognite succeeds in the energy industry, this partnership will further enhance the edge-to-enterprise capabilities of Rockwell Automation’s joint venture Sensia with Schlumberger.
“Manufacturers large and small are trying to capture data and derive value from it,” said Brian Shepherd, senior vice president of automation Software and controls at Rockwell. A unified information hub can provide a single source for all manufacturing data, eliminating the need to invest heavily in costly proprietary platforms, and the larger a business, the more difficult it becomes to aggregate data from many different sources, let alone extract practical analytical insights from them in a cost-effective manner. We are working with Cognite to address these issues directly.”
“We are excited to partner with Rockwell Automation to further expand FactoryTalk’s offerings and enrich the data that is critical to their applications.” Girish Rishi, CEO of Cognite, said, “Cognite’s mission is to facilitate the development and operation of industrial hybrid AI solutions at scale, and this is reflected in this collaboration. We look forward to working with Rockwell Automation to accelerate the pace of application analytics and digital applications in industry.”
