Three new companies have joined Rockwell Automation's Machine Safety System Integrator program. This program helps companies meet today's security standards and increase productivity.
MILWAUKEE, industrial companies that are trying to keep up with today's complex machine safety system requirements while remaining as efficient as possible now have more options with the Machine Safety System Integrator program .
Rockwell Automation has added three new members to the program, which connects companies with system integrators who are experts in current security standards and have previously designed security systems. The program now has 45 members worldwide.
Lee Lane, Executive Director and Vice President of Sensor, Safety and Connectivity Equipment at Rockwell Automation, said:
"Working with qualified system integrators enables manufacturers to maintain their systems in line with existing standards and increase efficiency. Security is not just a box to say 'checked'. Having a positive safety culture, compliance with existing standards and using modern safety technologies have reduced downtime, significantly increased worker safety and reflected positively on recruitment and retirement rates.
