Rockwell announces solution integration agreement

Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Mar 13, 2009

Rockwell has announced a global agreement with ProLeit that will allow ProLeit to more tightly integrate its Plant iT industry solution with the Rockwell Automation Logix Control Platform.

Specifically aimed at applications in the brewing, dairy and related industries, the agreement will provide users with faster start-up and commissioning of applications in an open architecture development environment.

Field-proven in a large number of applications, ProLeit Plant iT solution relies on a programmable logic controller (PLC)-based platform for production control and data acquisition.

Under the agreement, ProLeit will develop its Plant iT industry solution to more closely integrate with Logix-based programmable automation controllers (PACs) from Rockwell Automation.

ProLeit will also utilise Factorytalk Vantagepoint software, formerly known as Incuity, a manufacturing intelligence solution from Rockwell.

The Logix Control Platform is a fully integrated, multidisciplined control system designed to help users optimise production and improve the flexibility of their manufacturing operations.

The platform's open architecture design allows users to integrate data between multiple systems to help reduce programming time and ease future migration.
