Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture

The business imperative for unified information and control


Unify operations and information systems with Integrated Architecture®  by Rockwell Automation

Bringing disparate systems together and establishing a holistic approach is exactly what Integrated Architecture ® from Rockwell Automation® is designed to do. Integrated Architecture® helps break down barriers, securely providing access to data that has traditionally been trapped and contextualizing it to provide actionable, cross-system intelligence to the right people at the right time.  In other words, Integrated Architecture® enables relevant information and analysis to move seamlessly and securely from device to boardroom. 

The benefits of Integrated Architecture® go beyond data and insights. Digital engineering using a standard, collaboration-friendly framework speeds up design time and slashes implementation costs. A common control platform supports a manufacturing environment that is at once productive, safe, sustainable, and agile. Manufacturing systems that work together automatically (and even autonomously) create less friction and free up time and resources for higher-value initiatives. Secure networking across devices and systems creates resilience and helps reduce cybersecurity risks. Across the board, Integrated Architecture® empowers enterprises to both be ready for the future and more proactively shape it. 

 

​​​​​​Now is the time to stop cobbling together disparate systems and start seeing the value of a unified approach

  • Drive better business outcomes and pave the way for autonomous operations to come with AI-powered insights on improving sustainability, safety, throughput and more

Logix product

Technology Spotlight - Logix

At the heart of Integrated Architecture® is Logix technology, which seamlessly integrates process, batch, discrete, drives, safety, and motion control functions into one infrastructure across applications and environments. The versatility and scalability of this common control engine allows manufacturers to adapt to evolving production requirements and expand operations without compromising performance or reliability. Whether applied in process & power or motion & safety applications, Logix creates the foundation for Integrated Architecture® deployments.  


Learn how integration of manufacturing operations and information systems can improve productivity, safety, sustainability and cybersecurity.

This three-part webinar series will describe how unifying seemingly disparate processes and manufacturing applications with information systems across your operations will reduce design time and implementation costs, improve productivity, safety, and sustainability - while providing secure and contextualized information and analysis from device to boardroom.
