SINGAPORE, Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Prestigious Annual IoT Breakthrough Awards Program Recognizes Standout
Internet of Things Companies and Products
Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK)(https://www.rockwellautomation.com/), the
world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital
transformation, announced that its FactoryTalk Edge Gateway solution has been
selected as the winner of the "Industrial IoT Solution of the Year" award in
the 6th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program conducted by IoT
Breakthrough(http://www.iotbreakthrough.com/), a leading market intelligence
organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in
the global Internet of Things (IoT) market today.
Rockwell Automation is a multiple IoT Breakthrough Award winner having won
"Industrial IoT Innovator of the Year" in 2020 and "Industrial IoT Company of
the Year" in 2021.
With FactoryTalk Edge Gateway, manufacturers can easily access, understand and
leverage the data needed to make informed decisions. The solution simplifies
and automates collection, contextualization and organization of industrial
equipment data across machines, devices and automation assets at the source
itself - enabling high data integrity from the outset. It also provides the
right foundation to drive edge-to-cloud IT/OT convergence at the enterprise
level resulting in informed decision-making.
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway software unifies data from industrial sources and
control or automation systems. It is able to integrate with a variety of cloud,
Industrial IoT and big data applications. It also uses OPC-DA, the automation
industry's standard for interoperability, to access KEPServer Enterprise data
for third-party connectivity. This maximizes operational insights and provides
a 360-degree view of a business, simplifying and automating data ingestion in a
single integration solution for IT applications.
"Manufacturing processes and machines create tremendous amounts of data that,
in the right place, with the right context, and at the right time can unlock
new sources of potential value from analytics, machine learning, connected
worker experiences, digital twins, and much more," said Brian Shepherd, Vice
President of Software & Control at Rockwell Automation. "FactoryTalk Edge
Gateway software simplifies the collection, contextualization and organization
of OT data in a way that builds a high-integrity digital foundation for
decision making. That foundation and ability to uncover new insights is what
can help manufacturers achieve their performance goals."
The mission of the IoT Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the
innovators, leaders, and visionaries from around the globe in a range of IoT
categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City technology,
Connected Home and Home Automation, Connected Car, and many more. This year's
program attracted more than 3,850 nominations from companies all over the
world.
"Industrial enterprises struggle to aggregate operational data from
heterogeneous sources and add relevant context from the source to the IT layer.
This prevents them from uncovering potentially game-changing insights at the
enterprise level," said James Johnson, managing director at IoT Breakthrough.
"FactoryTalk Edge Gateway not only enriches OT data with critical context where
it matters the most - at the edge - but also delivers it in a flexible common
information model to IT applications, so that industrial enterprises can derive
critical insights for competitive advantage. That makes it our choice for
'Industrial IoT Solution of the Year.' Congratulations for the third year in a
row to Rockwell Automation."
Additionally, FactoryTalk Edge Gateway automatically discovers high-speed,
contextualized OT data from controllers and packages it in a logical, common
information model control engineers can configure. This common information
model accelerates setup for similar assembly lines and can be enriched with
third-party data. It can also be mapped to on-prem or cloud applications and
easily consumed to accelerate IT/OT convergence.
