Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser Partnership Provides Customers With Process Field Device Expertise and Total Process Automation Solutions

羅克韋爾自動化和E＋H合作為客戶提供過程現場設備專家技術以及全過程自動化解決方案

Alliance between market leaders continues to address today's process manufacturing challenges and works toward technologies for next-generation process control systems

這兩家市場領導者的聯合繼續應對著現今過程製造的挑戰，攜手開發下一代過程控製係統技術

At the eleventh annual ARC Forum in Orlando, Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser demonstrated progress in their strategic alliance designed to deliver world-class process manufacturing solutions and develop next-generation process control technologies.

在奧蘭多舉辦的第十一屆ARC年度論壇上，羅克韋爾自動化和E＋H(恩德斯+豪斯)公司向大眾展示了他們兩者戰略聯盟所取得的成就，這個聯盟旨在提供世界級的過程製造解決方案以及開發下一代過程控製係統技術。

Formed in December 2004, the unique alliance was established to provide comprehensive solutions for plant engineering, operations and management to customers with a mix of process and discrete automation tasks, using Endress+Hauser's market-leading measurement devices and the Rockwell Automation integrated control and information architecture. Since then, the collaboration of the two suppliers has focused on three key strategic initiatives: technology innovation, integrated asset management and coordinated engineering services.

這個獨特的聯盟成立於2004年12月，旨在通過使用E+H公司市場領先的測量設備以及羅克韋爾集成控製和信息架構，為客戶提供工廠工程、運作和管理綜合解決方案
，一個過程和離散自動化任務的綜合。從此

，這兩家供應商的合作集中於三個關鍵戰略活動：技術創新、集成資產管理以及協調工程服務。

"Unlike point solution providers or traditional process automation vendors, this global partnership draws from the core competencies of both companies to produce something that is greater than the sum of two independent parts," said Steve Eisenbrown, senior vice president, Rockwell Automation. "Together we are able to deliver best-in-class measurement, automation and information solutions to help customers succeed."

羅克韋爾自動化高級副總裁Steve Eisenbrown表示：”與(yu)點(dian)解(jie)決(jue)方(fang)案(an)或(huo)者(zhe)傳(chuan)統(tong)過(guo)程(cheng)自(zi)動(dong)化(hua)供(gong)應(ying)商(shang)不(bu)同(tong)，我(wo)們(men)這(zhe)個(ge)全(quan)球(qiu)範(fan)圍(wei)內(nei)的(de)合(he)作(zuo)包(bao)括(kuo)範(fan)圍(wei)從(cong)我(wo)們(men)兩(liang)家(jia)公(gong)司(si)的(de)核(he)心(xin)業(ye)務(wu)到(dao)生(sheng)產(chan)一(yi)些(xie)比(bi)我(wo)們(men)兩(liang)家(jia)獨(du)立(li)公(gong)司(si)的(de)總(zong)和(he)還(hai)要(yao)好(hao)的(de)產(chan)品(pin)。聯(lian)合(he)在(zai)一(yi)起(qi)我(wo)們(men)可(ke)以(yi)提(ti)供(gong)頂(ding)級(ji)的(de)測(ce)量(liang)、自動化以及信息解決方案，幫助客戶取得成功。“

With preferred integration between the Endress+Hauser spectrum of process instruments (including level, flow, pressure, temperature and analytical) and the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture, process manufacturers are able to reduce risk and integration costs while protecting their investment with assured interoperability. In addition, a seamless flow of information between key components of the manufacturing process-from the field device through enterprise business systems-improves decision-making and overall equipment optimization.

"The strong alliance between Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser goes beyond simply offering field instrumentation in conjunction with Integrated Architecture automation systems," stated Larry O'Brien, research director at ARC Advisory Group. "It involves joint research and development between the two companies, as well as fieldbus interoperability testing, and even encompasses the integration of Rockwell Automation's own devices, such as drives, into a complete plant asset management solution."

ARC 谘詢集團研究主管Larry O'Brien表明道：”羅克韋爾自動化和E+H之(zhi)間(jian)的(de)強(qiang)強(qiang)聯(lian)合(he)超(chao)出(chu)了(le)僅(jin)僅(jin)簡(jian)單(dan)地(di)提(ti)供(gong)與(yu)集(ji)成(cheng)架(jia)構(gou)自(zi)動(dong)化(hua)係(xi)統(tong)相(xiang)配(pei)合(he)的(de)現(xian)場(chang)儀(yi)器(qi)的(de)範(fan)疇(chou)，它(ta)涉(she)及(ji)了(le)這(zhe)兩(liang)家(jia)公(gong)司(si)的(de)共(gong)同(tong)研(yan)究(jiu)開(kai)發(fa)，現(xian)場(chang)總(zong)線(xian)互(hu)操(cao)作(zuo)性(xing)的(de)測(ce)試(shi)

Alliance Initiatives Address Customer Needs
聯盟活動響應了客戶的需求

The alliance initiatives have helped manufacturers more tightly coordinate the process and discrete portions of their plants, and also increased understanding of the importance of open standards such as field device tool (FDT) in industrial automation. Through the alliance, Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser have been promoting field device tool/device type manager (FDT/DTM) technology that provides a single interface to devices residing on multiple field and control networks. The two companies also support a range of standard bus technologies and have several board level positions, including the HART Communication Foundation, Fieldbus Foundation, FDT Group and ODVA.

聯盟活動已經幫助製造商更緊地調整他們工廠的過程和離散部分，還提高了他們對工業自動化中例如如如現場設備工具(FDT)(FDT)等開放式標準的重要性的認識。通過聯盟，羅克韋爾自動化和E+H公司推廣了如現場設備工具/設備種類管理器 (FDT/DTM)jishu，weiduozhongxianchanghekongzhiwangluoshangdeshebeitigongleyigetongyidejiekou。zheliangjiagongsihaizhichiyixiliedebiaozhunzongxianjishu，yongyoushugedongshihuijibiedediwei，baokuoHART通訊基金會、現場總線基金會、FDT集團和ODVA。

"Listening to the needs and challenges our customers face led us to work together to expand device connectivity and configuration capabilities," said Todd Lucey, general manager, Endress+Hauser. "Through collaboration, both companies are able to provide a wide range of pre-tested, standards-based measurement, automation and information solutions to help our customers reduce costs, improve efficiency and optimize plant assets."

E+H公司總經理Todd Lucey表示:"傾聽客戶所麵對的需要和挑戰使我們一道拓展設備連接性和配置容量。通過合作
，兩家公司都可以提供範圍廣闊的預測試過的


、基於各種標準的測量、自動化和信息解決方案
，幫助我們的客戶降低成本，提高效率，優化工廠資產。”

Customer Successes Through Collaboration
通過合作為客戶帶來成功

Manufacturers across a range of industries are already taking advantage of the value this collaboration brings. Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser recently worked together to assist two renewable energy customers, Integrity Biofuels and Archer Daniels Midland to meet demanding timelines on the implementation of control systems for their biodiesel facilities. The customer received a system that optimizes output, resources and assets using Endress+Hauser level, flow, pressure and temperature instruments in conjunction with the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture.

眾多行業的製造商已經享受到了這個合作帶來的極大利益。羅克韋爾自動化和E+H公司最近一道協助兩家可再生能源公司
， Integrity Biofuels公司和 Archer Daniels Midland公司，為他們的生物柴油工廠實施控製係統。使用E+H公司的物位、流量、壓力以及溫度儀器，配合羅克韋爾的集成架構，客戶獲了一個優化產量
、資源和資產的係統。

The two companies also helped Red Gold, a food manufacturer, develop a control system for a "cookroom" used to make tomato products such as ketchup and canned tomatoes. Incorporating Endress+Hauser instruments and automated valves with Allen Bradley Programmable Automation Controllers, the customer was able to take advantage of a common software architecture and local supply.

這兩家公司還幫助一家食品製造商Red Gold公司的一個製造間開發了一套控製係統，用於生產西紅柿產品，例如調味番茄醬和罐裝西紅柿。結合E+H公司的儀器
、自動閥門和A-B可編程自動化控製器（PAC），客戶可以獲得通用軟件架構以及當地供應的優勢。
