New capabilities

Rockwell Automation has announced the addition of new energy intelligence capabilities in software applications. The new tools - the FactoryTalk VantagePoint Energy bundle, FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software, and Allen- Bradley IntelliCENTER Energy software - help plant and operations managers view resource consumption in relation to specific units, lines and machines, so they can make more informed energy decisions.

Energy intelligence is an extension of the manufacturing intelligence capability of turning data into information for informed decision making, by leveraging power and energy equipment as data sources.
