There is no question that the digital transformation journey requires end users and OEMs to obtain much more production and machine information, which means that more industrial components need to have the ability to collect production operations or machine data, process that data into meaningful information, and send that information to the edge, to a control system, to a cloud, or some combination of those options. This has led to the development of smart devices that have these built-in capabilities to help production lines and machines to be more productive and information-enabled to increase production efficiencies and decrease unscheduled downtime.  In this podcast, ARC Vice President Craig Resnick interviews Rockwell Automation’s Brian Taylor, Business Director, Safety, Sensing and Connectivity, and Rodrigo Marangon, Global Business Director, Industrial Components Business to discuss what is a smart device, what type of products meet this definition of a smart device, applications where customers are deploying smart devices, examples of the results customers are seeing, what role are analytics playing in smart devices, and what the next generation of smart devices will look like.

Even before COVID 19, process manufacturers were facing challenges, such as market and commodity uncertainty, rapid fluctuations in demand, supply chain disruptions, and becoming more efficient and sustainable. During COVID 19, those challenges were all greatly magnified, leading process manufacturers to strongly focus on Operational Resilience. So how do process manufacturers look for ways to reduce capital requirements, lower risk, improve operational performance, optimize production throughout the entire asset lifecycle, and increase their Operational Resilience? In this podcast, ARC Vice President Craig Resnick interviews Elias Panasuik, Global Program Director, EcoStruxure Power & Process, Schneider Electric, to discuss how the integration of Power and Process Automation can improve sustainability across the entire lifecycle of a process manufacturing plant, as well as how this integrated, digitalized approach results in greater interoperability and flexibility, drives CAPEX and OPEX reductions, increases production efficiencies, decreases unscheduled downtime, improves profitability, and most importantly, provides greater Operational Resilience for process manufacturers.
