Rockwell Automation Engages Control Station in Global Distribution of Automation Solutions
April 18, 2012 – Control Station announced the expansion of its relationship with Rockwell Automation. The Company’s portfolio of software solutions is now available for global distribution through the Encompass Partner Program.
Rockwell Automation is investing heavily in the process arena, and they recognize the value that our technologies lend to process manufacturers both here and abroad, noted Dennis Nash, President of Control Station. This change provides Control Station with access to a significantly broader network of distributors through which we can market our monitoring and optimization solutions.
Control Station first joined the Encompass Partner Program as Rockwell Automation sought a replacement for their existing PID controller tuning products. LOOP-PRO Tuner Allen-Bradley Edition was introduced in 2009 as a fully integrated tuning solution and a replacement for RSTune. Equipped with patent-pending capabilities LOOP-PRO accurately models oscillatory and noisy process data. In September 2011 Tuner became the only controller tuning product referenced by Rockwell Automation and available thru their distributors.
The relationship with Rockwell Automation expanded in 2010 with the addition of PlantESP to the Encompass Partner Program. PlantESP is a best-in-class monitoring and diagnostic platform that actively assesses controller performance and asset reliability on a plant-wide basis. It addresses the need among process manufacturers for improved awareness of issues that may result in lost production. PlantESP fully complements other control and condition-monitoring solutions available from Rockwell Automation.
