The Connected Enterprise is the vision that allows organizations to keep up with the rapid changes in the information and communications technologies, and leverage those technologies to implement a system that allows them to optimize production and manufacturing plants.
As a global manufacturer, Rockwell Automation faces the same challenges our customers experience every day. By implementing The Connected Enterprise in our own operations, we're now more agile and flexible, we're able to make faster, smarter decisions so we have better control and we have a standardized approach across our global facilities. Join Bob Murphy, Senior Vice President, Operations & Engineering Services, to learn about Rockwell Automation’s journey with The Connected Enterprise. Results included: Productivity: improvements ~5 percent annually, on-time delivery from 80 percent to 96, reduced lead times by over 50 percent, improved our quality levels by over 50 percent, and reduced inventory at the same time over 33 percent.
