Recently, the first Shanghai International Carbon Neutral Technology, Products and Achievements Expo (hereinafter referred to as “Carbon Neutral Expo”) officially kicked off. As one of the world’s leading companies in the field of industrial automation, informatization and digital transformation, Rockwell Automation and its local ecosphere partner, Shanghai Lingang Economic Development (Group) Co., Ltd. unveiled Booth 7.1A 06-021 in Hall 7.1H to showcase green technologies and services for the full life cycle of products in a multi-dimensional way. Share insights on shaping sustainable lighthouse factories, and release Rockwell Automation’s Rockii Net-Zero Net Zero solution, explaining how IT/OT (information technology/operations technology) integration of innovative technology can help China’s local manufacturing industry to build sustainable lighthouse factories and achieve low-carbon development.

“Green and high-quality development plays an important role in the Chinese-style modernization process. Carbon neutrality and industrial chain transformation and upgrading have also become the only way for many industries to develop towards the sun.” Shi An, president of Rockwell Automation (China) Co., LTD., said, “As a leader in intelligent manufacturing and green technology, Rockwell Automation will give full play to its own technological accumulation and global resource advantages to jointly promote the net zero transformation of different industries and contribute to creating a zero-carbon society.” Our Sustainable Development 2022 Report, released this year, also demonstrates our strength in promoting green development in different sectors.”

To meet different needs, accelerate cross-industry partners to achieve net zero goals

At the four-day carbon neutral Expo, Rockwell Automation based on the sustainable development SEEE values of Safety, Energy conservation, Environmental protection and Efficiency, relying on advanced automation, digital and intelligent technologies, Focus on the exhibition can be applied to sustainable lighthouse factory net petty use cases, Rockii EMM energy efficiency intelligent control platform solutions and other smart manufacturing industry leading applications.

In order to further meet the low-carbon transition needs of partners in different industry ecosystems, Rockwell Automation unveiled its new Rockii Net-Zero Net Zero solution at the Carbon Neutral Expo by bringing together low-carbon services and digital advantages. The program includes four directions: carbon assessment, carbon reduction, carbon offset and carbon certification counseling, and provides customers with all-round consulting services on carbon inventory, carbon footprint, carbon management system and zero carbon planning. At the same time, the Rockii Net-Zero solution enables end-to-end carbon tracking capabilities covering product development, process design, manufacturing, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) carbon tracking and supply chain iteration to help companies complete the full life cycle low-carbon transition.

In addition to technological innovation, Rockwell Automation is also giving full play to its technological advantages in the field of automation and digitalization, and joining hands with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain to create a “net zero supply chain”, accelerating the green transformation in multiple fields and leading the infinite possibilities in the future. By creating the main axis of the “net zero supply chain”, Rockwell Automation will fully drive the role of the head chain main enterprises, and with the systematic empowerment of the full life cycle service, further radiate to all kinds of small and medium-sized enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, reshape the supply chain pattern, and help different industries in China to plan green development roadmap. The Diqing Nonferrous Metal Smart Mine construction cooperation project, which officially entered the execution stage this year, is one of Rockwell Automation’s practice of promoting “net zero supply chain” in the Chinese market.

Relying on digital strength, help build a “beacon” of manufacturing for the future

The net-zero transformation also plays an important role in companies’ efforts to achieve operational excellence and build sustainable beacon factories that represent the benchmark of smart manufacturing strength. Rockwell Automation deeply integrates hardware, software and services to empower partners in different industries from the core technology to help them achieve real-time monitoring and optimal control of plant energy consumption, thus achieving significant efficiency and emission reduction. Relying on the local ecosystem covering multiple industries, Rockwell Automation can also realize the cross-border promotion of net zero-use cases for sustainable lighthouse factories, promote the interweaving of different industry application scenarios and innovative integration at the technical level, and build more future-oriented sustainable lighthouse factories with ecosystem partners.

“The green transformation driven by digital means will bring more possibilities and new opportunities for the sustainable and healthy development of China’s economy and society.” Shi ‘an said, “From the wisdom and value development of upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain to build a sustainable lighthouse factory, to the active exploration of green technologies including Rockii Net-Zero solution, Rockwell Automation will continue to empower users with innovative ideas, solutions and services.” We will continue to promote the digital transformation and upgrading of China’s industries and the realization of sustainable development goals, thus contributing to the high-quality development of China’s economy.”
