September 29, 2017 — Industrial operators focused on improving production through enterprise-wide integration must rely on multiple suppliers and partners. To support and simplify this process, Rockwell Automation has added six companies as members of its PartnerNetwork program. The PartnerNetwork program is intended to help industrial companies better solve their production and automation challenges by providing access to an expansive network of leading suppliers, distributors, system integrators, and machine and equipment builders. The Encompass Partner program welcomed four new members. The Encompass Partner program is a product reference program that helps customers quickly locate products that solve their application challenges.
These products complement, enhance and extend Rockwell Automation solutions. In North America, the Encompass Partner program now has four new members:
- CBS ArcSafe specializes in remote racking and switching solutions for low- and medium-voltage switchgear products that do not require modification to existing equipment for operation.
