Rockwell signs deal with Everactive
06/11/2023
Rockwell Automation, one of the world’s largest companies dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, has announced its partnership with California-based Everactive, a leader in wireless and battery-less condition monitoring solutions for industrial customers.
Everactive’s solutions will complement Rockwell Automation’s Dynamix product line, which will be ideal for Rockwell customers seeking actionable insights from their rotating equipment assets, without the concern of interruption from having to replace batteries in the process. The integrated system will provide data to Rockwell’s FactoryTalk MaintenanceSuite for asset monitoring, condition-based monitoring and predictive maintenance programmes, enabling maintenance teams to reduce asset-related downtime, decrease production cost and lower labour costs.
“We’re excited about this partnership with Everactive. The data produced by Everactive’s condition monitoring sensors can be used by our FactoryTalk analytics, monitoring and maintenance platforms to increase uptime, quality and customer profitability,” said Brian Merdes, Vice President and General Manager, Sensing, Safety and Industrial Control, Rockwell Automation. “Additionally, Everactive’s energy-harvesting technology allows sensors to run continuously with zero battery maintenance, which ultimately decreases our customers’ carbon footprint.”
The combined solution will disrupt the condition monitoring applications market since the inconvenience of replacing batteries has been a challenge in the process of adopting wireless sensors. Solutions developed by Rockwell and Everactive will provide sustainable options for wireless condition monitoring users looking for productivity in their operations.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Rockwell Automation, addressing the difficult problem of monitoring balance-of-plant assets,” said Bob Nunn, CEO, Everactive. “Solutions developed by Rockwell and Everactive will provide sustainable options for wireless condition monitoring users looking for productivity in their operations. Together, we can generate more insights from more places within an operation, bringing unparalleled efficiency and sustainability to enterprises globally.”
