Automation Fair panelists said that the adoption of integrated technologies ensures seamless interoperability and robust system design
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the RAISE program are driving significant investment in U.S. manufacturing, spurring demand for modernized factory automation, Control reported from Rockwell Automation’s 2024 Automation Fair event.
Engaging system integrators early is critical, as they help streamline processes such as drafting RFQs, ensuring interoperability, and planning for scalability.
Integrators like Concept Systems and Convergix emphasize leveraging tools like AI and digital design to reduce engineering time and improve flexibility, while also addressing legacy systems upgrades in brownfield projects. These approaches facilitate faster deployment and better project alignment, especially as factories adopt rapid speed-to-market strategies.
Collaboration and early team formation are pivotal to success, as noted by EPC firms like CRB and Salas O’Brien. Projects demand cultural alignment, committed resources and a clear controls philosophy to meet the complexities of modern manufacturing.
