These systems are prescriptive, self-correcting, and continuously optimizing—designed to respond in real time to market volatility, supply chain disruptions, production interruptions, and quality events.
The result is a more agile, resilient, and adaptive enterprise—one that can operate with greater confidence, speed, and performance in an increasingly complex world.

Streamline Quality & Compliance

Unify processes with multi-discipline control

Rockwell Automation embeds safety into every control product, leveraging CIP Safety™ technology to achieve up to SIL 3 integrity levels without additional safety I/O. Motion-producing drives function as safety devices, receiving secure commands via Ethernet/IP™. ControlLogix® controllers and an extensive catalog of safety devices, combined with seamless integration to third-party devices, ensure functional safety and operational efficiency throughout the paint shop.

Decrease Production & Operating Costs

Accelerate digital transformation to scale enterprise-wide visibility

Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) is the strategic backbone of modern production—an enterprise-wide framework that connects planning, scheduling, quality, logistics, and performance optimization into one cohesive system. It ensures every process works in harmony to deliver efficiency and agility at scale.
Within this framework, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) plays a focused role. MES is the real-time engine of the shop floor, managing day-to-day execution and monitoring production orders for accuracy and speed. Think of MOM as the conductor of the entire orchestra, with MES as a critical instrument driving precision and performance.
Rockwell Automation's MOM suite transforms this vision into reality with capabilities that include:
• Order & Production Management: Genealogy, sequencing/re-sequencing, build-to-sequence, order swapping, and sub-line order broadcast.
• Operator & Equipment Guidance: Marriage processes, work instructions, poka-yoke, and machine integration.
• Control & Data Management: Line control, torque and torque tool management, data modeling and normalization, WIP tracking, material consumption modeling, and back-flushing.
• Quality & Compliance: In-line visual quality management, non-conformance (NCP) handling, and repair management.
This integrated platform empowers manufacturers to achieve operational excellence, accelerate digital transformation, and drive continuous improvement across automotive production.
