Why Smart Machines?
Yesterday’s “smart” machines delivered data. But the smart machines and equipment built today must translate data into insights that drive better decision-making.
True smart machines and intelligent equipment use digital technologies to move beyond conventional control, operation and maintenance paradigms. How? Smart devices—smart starts here.

What is a Smart Machine?
Smart Manufacturing is driving a demand for connected machines and equipment. As a machine builder, you need to rapidly respond to your customer's needs by adding higher value to your machines while reducing costs and time to design, develop and deliver.
Transforming data into information to optimize production
Pathway for Machine Builders
Are your customers getting data from devices and assets on their plant-floor? Have they assessed and analyzed it?
To begin your smart machine journey, start to build the roadmap to maximize vast data from machines and connected assets to make a pathway to actionable intelligence that differentiates your machines.
By leveraging the real-time data from Smart devices and smart connected assets on the plant-floor, smart machines aggregate and translate the data into insights that enhance OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and operational productivity. Furthermore, it leads to create new business model and revenue streams.
Smart Machine Maturity Model
Knowing where you are in terms of smart machine technology adaptation is important. No matter where you are today, let’s assess your connectivity and smart machine maturity stage.

A Five Step Process to Tactically Address Your Smart Machine Journey
Although all smart machines are different, there is a common recipe for success. Join us to hear about a five-step plan for effectiveness that starts with assessing your current operations, leverages Rockwell Automation® hardware and tools to collect and analyze information, and delivers real time data to operators to make better and faster decisions. The result is discovering new revenue streams, increased productivity to current operations and better asset utilization through predictive rather than reactive behavior.
Digital Performance Management in Manufacturing
To resolve today’s most complex industrial challenges, leading-edge manufacturers are leveraging their investments in digital factory capabilities. They are beginning to integrate them with established and trusted continuous process improvement (CPI) tools and methods.
