This acquisition supports the Rockwell Automation growth

across the plant floor to the rest of the enterprise. It is
accelerated by the Industrial Internet of Things and advances in
technologies, such as data analytics, remote monitoring, and
mobility.
“Today’s plant engineers turn to our technology innovation and
domain expertise to help improve their manufacturing quality and
reliability while increasing productivity,” said Frank Kulaszewicz,
senior vice president of Architecture and Software, Rockwell
Automation. “With ACP’s industry-leading products now in our
portfolio, we can provide new capabilities for workers as the
manufacturing environment becomes more digital and connected.”
ThinManager centralizes the management and visualization of
content to every facet of a modern manufacturing operation, from
the control room to the end user. It streamlines workflows and
allows users to reduce hardware operation and maintenance costs.
Relevance extends the ThinManager functionality through proprietary
location-based technology, enabling users’ secure mobile access to
content and applications from anywhere.
“We are a perfect addition to Rockwell Automation’s industrial
automation offerings that aim to increase reliability, productivity
and security as well as lower energy and maintenance costs while
implementing sustainable technology for leading global
manufacturers,” said Matt Crandell, CEO of ACP. “We are confident
that our customers will quickly see the value from our two
organizations working to address their needs together.”
