Begin Your Journey to The Connected Enterprise.
Welcome to Automation Fair® 2015
REALIZING TRANSFORMATIONAL VALUE WITH THE CONNECTED ENTERPRISE Welcome to the industry’s premier event dedicated to helping you realize greater productivity and increased global competitiveness. We’re excited to have you here, and look forward to learning about your business challenges and sharing our vision for The Connected Enterprise, which is a passion and priority for us at Rockwell Automation. The Connected Enterprise is transforming the world of manufacturing and production. It will cause industrial automation to change more in the next 10 years than in the past 50 years. This change will deliver rapid value creation with an optimized plant and supply network, and result in lower total cost of ownership, faster time-to-market, better asset utilization and improved enterprise risk management. It creates tremendous opportunities for those taking advantage and great risks for those not preparing a strategic response. Leading global manufacturers and industrial companies are laying the foundation for The Connected Enterprise by converging information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). They are finding that tighter integration between industrial assets and the rest of the enterprise value-chain creates business value in all phases of the automation investment lifecycle – design, operate and maintain. It enables faster and better decision making, exposes inefficiencies and sparks collaboration. An information-enabled Connected Enterprise is a more competitive enterprise. The Connected Enterprise is enabled by our integrated control and information portfolio of products, services and solutions, and enhanced by modern technology trends such as the Internet of Things. Here at the Automation Fair®event, hosted by Rockwell Automation and the members of its PartnerNetwork™ program, you will learn how to be successful in the journey to your Connected Enterprise. You will experience invaluable interactions with your industry peers and get an inside look at the newest and most advanced power, control and information solutions in the industry. And you’ll learn how to successfully leverage these state-of-the-art automation and information technologies in conjunction with the offerings from the industry-leading Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork™ members to achieve the vision of The Connected Enterprise today. There is no better time than the present to learn and apply the most contemporary industrial automation and information solutions to machines, plants and production, and fully leverage the power of IT-OT convergence. On behalf of all of our dedicated employees across the globe, we thank you for joining us in Chicago and look forward to helping you drive productivity, competitiveness and profitability throughout your enterprise. Best regards, Keith Nosbusch Chairman and CEO Rockwell Automation

The Connected Enterprise
THE CONNECTED ENTERPRISE Enabling innovations like the Internet of Things, network convergence, cloud computing, big data and analytics, virtualization and mobility, along with global Smart Manufacturing initiatives, are resulting in a new inflection point for how manufacturing and industrial organizations and their assets operate. At the same time, we’re ushering in a new generation of IT and operations professionals with different backgrounds and approaches to information technology and collaboration. This creates tremendous opportunities for those taking advantage and great competitive risks for those not preparing a strategic response. It can be challenging to know where and how to invest in people, processes and technologies that leverage these trends. Differing internal agendas, the reality of needing to extend the life of existing automation assets and the myriad of confusing technology trends makes it difficult to know where to start and how to make sure that you’re getting real value. Through The Connected Enterprise, Rockwell Automation helps manufacturers and industrial operators capitalize on the promise of an ever more connected world – in the form of more agile response to changing conditions, faster time to market, lower total cost of ownership, improved asset utilization and enterprise risk management along with workforce efficiency. Use the ideal day key to find the related booths, hands-on labs and forums available for your specific industry needs.

The operational benefits realized from Model Predictive Control (MPC) are generally well understood. However, MPC can also have a significant impact on the effectiveness of plant resources from operation managers and process engineers to plant operators. This lab will familiarize users with the Rockwell Automation server- and controller-based MPC solutions, which help to improve overall production line operations, including the implications for plant personnel.
In this lab, you’ll learn to use the Guardmaster 440C-CR30 Software Configurable Safety Relay to support small to intermediate level safety applications. Built to meet PLe/SIL 3 requirements, and featuring 22 embedded safety I/O points and a USB programming port, the 440C-CR30 safety relay is configured with Connected Components Workbench software. A new EtherNet/IP plug-in module is now available for communicating diagnostic information to a Logix controller Workbench software package.

T83 Minimizing Obsolescence Risk on the Journey to The Connected Enterprise W187A – Wednesday and Thursday, 3:00 p.m. With the convergence of information technology and operations technology on the manufacturing horizon, the $65B in legacy installed base in the US is limiting our industry’s ability to take advantage of the Connected Enterprise. Companies are facing difficult decisions on where to begin. This session will explore ways to minimize obsolescence risk on this journey. AT OG PG TR WW
THE CONNECTED ENTERPRISE T84 The Connected Enterprise: A Day in the Life of a Production Order W187B – Wednesday and Thursday, 8:00 a.m. As manufacturing and industrial operations become connected, they will change more profoundly in the next five years than in the past 20. Historically, the technology needed to enable this change was prohibitively expensive. However, The Internet of Things and other enabling technologies are changing that. This session follows the flow of an actual production order. Enjoy a glimpse into how the accelerated connection of Information Technology and Operations Technology enables unprecedented collaboration across the enterprise – linking processes and facilities to suppliers and customers in new ways that result in improved enterprise, plant and supply chain performance. AT FB LS OG TCE TR
T85 The Future of Manufacturing in a Connected World W187B – Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00 a.m. Integration of control and information on the manufacturing floor will be essential for manufacturers to remain competitive. In this session, Rockwell Automation and Cisco will discuss how they are delivering products, solutions and services that use our industry-leading best practices for networking and convergence for organizational efficiency. Topics include: use cases and solution sets for the plant of the future, automation infrastructure, security and compliance, mobility, video and collaboration, industrial computing and cloud, remote expertise and remote services, and energy management.

T89 Trends in Mobility – The World is Not Flat W187B – Wednesday and Thursday, 2:00 p.m. We all carry smart phones, and have become more mobile, but are we still living our lives as if the world is flat? Mobility is much more than viewing a webpage or report on our phone or tablet, it’s a fundamental shift in how we live our lives. Today’s contemporary software applications are designed with a “mobile first” approach that drives workflows back to the desktop interface and servers rather than the other way around. In this session, we’ll explore mobility trends, and reference recent product introductions as examples. We encourage you to abandon the flat earth model, and join us in the belief that the world is round, and mobile is everything. AT LS TCE TR
T90 New Strategies to Monitor, Optimize and Support Your Machines – Leveraging the Cloud W187B – Wednesday and Thursday, 3:00 p.m. Maximizing the productivity of your equipment and keeping track of your assets in real time has been an elusive goal for most.
