Rockwell Automation’s Cloud Partner Ecosystem is enabling new value from IT/OT convergence through the application of contemporary technologies including edge, cloud, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).  Highlighted partners in this booth include EPLAN, ANSYS, Microsoft, and Kezzler.  The results of these partner collaborations include new efficiencies for systems design, enhanced systems modeling and simulation, rapid delivery of IIOT and line-of-business applications, and traceability extending across the value-chain. The cloud partner ecosystem is a reflection of Rockwell Automation's approach to enabling a Connected Enterprise Production System (CEPS) for our customers, and our ongoing investment in FactoryTalk Hub to support systems lifecycle needs across Design, Operations, and Maintenance.

New this year at Automation Fair, we will be recreating our very own Cybersecurity Operations Center to demonstrate the value of OT Managed Services. Visitors will catch a glimpse into the OT network of our Twinsburg, OH facility and witness in real-time as threat actors attempt to infiltrate the network. We are so confident in our products, technology, and services, that we are allowing viewers to experience firsthand how our cybersecurity analysts detect and mitigate cyberattacks. Join us daily for in-booth presentations to discuss the current threat landscape, real-life case studies, and how data collection and analyzation enables Rockwell Automation, and our customers, to stay head of attacks.
