Rockwell Automation, Cisco drive digitization of Gulf region organizations

Rockwell Automation and its strategic alliance partner Cisco demonstrated how the companies are driving the digitization of organizations in the Gulf region at the recent Automation Conference and Exhibition, which took place May 26-27 in Abu Dhabi.

“Cisco and Rockwell Automation have a long history of successfully delivering increased productivity and efficiency for their customers through the creation and delivery of converged Information Technology and Operation Technology architectures," United Arab Emirates-based David Bell, consulting solution architect for Cisco Industry Solution Group, said. “In the UAE, increased competition and the rapid technology growth requires many businesses to look at how they can innovate and improve their operations, productivity and also how they interact with their customers."

At the event, Rockwell Automation and Cisco representatives conducted a series of sessions to show attendees best practices, facilitate manufacturing and Information Technology convergence, and help enable successful architecture deployment and efficient operations.

“The partnership with Cisco brings great value to customers as we help them improve their business performance by bridging the technical and cultural gaps between plant-floor and high-level information systems," Neil Enright, Rockwell Automation Middle East regional sales director, said. "We work daily to provide unparalleled technology and world-class support for them.”
