Rockwell Automation and Cognite, a global provider of industrial data software, announced a strategic partnership to help further leverage the value of manufacturing data and accelerate technological change for the manufacturing and processing industries. The partnership combines Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk software offering that enables edge connectivity to plant assets, operations management applications, and industry-tailored analytics with Cognite’s Industrial DataOps platform, Cognite Data Fusion, to create an industrial data hub designed for enterprise-wide scaling.
The partnership between Rockwell Automation and Cognite will help bring to market a unique, unified, edge-to-cloud industrial data hub that makes operational, engineering, enterprise, and visual data more understandable and comparable for manufacturing across multiple industries. The offering will help to transform raw data into more high-impact applications for real-time decision making and improved workflows that helps to ensure safer, more productive and sustainable operations. With Cognite’s experience in the Energy industry, this partnership will further enhance the edge-to-enterprise capabilities from Sensia, Rockwell Automation’s joint venture with Schlumberger.
