Rockwell Automation, Inc., the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, will showcase a complete Connected Enterprise® demonstration at PACK EXPO International 2024, taking place November 3-6 in Chicago. A Connected Enterprise converges plant-level and enterprise networks to securely connect people, processes, and technologies — allowing users to act on production data, enable faster time-to-value, and optimize manufacturing operations. Across the packaged goods landscape, connected and digitally optimized processes can help leaders overcome critical industry challenges.
“We are thrilled to be part of PACK EXPO 2024 and to showcase the many ways we help manufacturing leaders navigate a complex and evolving landscape,” said Steve Deitzer, vice president of global industry, CPG, Rockwell Automation. “Attendees will discover how the convergence of flexible equipment and cutting-edge digital solutions are enabling manufacturers to optimize and transform their operations. From the Rockwell booth and OEM technology showcase to thought leadership sessions and more than 85 partner exhibits across the show floor, attendees will be sure to experience all that Rockwell has to offer at this year’s PACK EXPO International.”
Attendees who visit Rockwell's booth (S-1544) can experience dynamic solutions and interactive demonstrations through a Connected Enterprise.
