Sponsored by Businesswire

Today at LiveWorx19™,
PTC
(NASDAQ: PTC) and Rockwell
Automation, Inc.
(NYSE: ROK) demonstrated the unparalleled value of
their combined technologies, addressing the most costly and persistent
challenges manufacturers face today. Enabled by FactoryTalk
InnovationSuite, powered by PTC
, the companies’ solutions-oriented
approach simplifies how manufacturers achieve business outcomes that
transform operational processes, workforce productivity and efficiency.

Digital transformation, which uses new technology to spur innovation and
creativity, has become imperative for manufacturers facing shifting
customer expectations, uncertain global trade and cost pressures, and
workforce shortages. Despite the many competitive advantages it can
provide, less than 10% of industrial companies describe their own
digital transformation efforts as a real success, according to LNS
Research. Those who are successful have an expansive, company-wide scope
and are deploying solutions that tackle broader challenges, like
understanding true performance across facilities with different
environments and systems or minimizing unplanned downtime across their
organizations.

“Manufacturers today require a new way to approach pressing challenges.
That’s why our combined Rockwell Automation and PTC solutions bring
together transformational technologies and drive true business
outcomes,” said John Genovesi, senior vice president, Enterprise
Accounts and Software, Rockwell Automation.

Experience the Complete Offering at the LiveWorx Xtropolis Expo Hall

In the expo hall at LiveWorx this week, PTC and Rockwell Automation are
showcasing how their solutions – consisting of advanced technologies
such as the internet of things, augmented reality, analytics, and MES –
can significantly improve:

  • Enterprise Operational Intelligence – cuts manufacturing costs
    and increases flexibility and agility of manufacturing networks by
    providing real-time manufacturing performance management across the
    industrial enterprise.
  • Digital Workforce Productivity – heightens productivity,
    improves quality, and avoids safety and compliance risk by equipping
    workers with actionable, augmented intelligence.
  • Intelligent Asset Optimization – reduces downtime and maximizes
    asset utilization through real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and
    predictive and prescriptive analytics into asset capacity,
    performance, and health status.
  • Scalable Production Management – lowers cost of inventory,
    improves quality, and compliance and accelerates time to market with
    effective planning and control of production processes.

“These high-impact solutions are great for any company’s industrial
transformation journey and should yield significant value to those
needing to improve operational performance,” said Matt Littlefield,
president, LNS Research.
