Rising costs, shifting consumer demands, and production complexity are putting unprecedented pressure on food and beverage manufacturers. Many companies still rely on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) as their primary performance indicator, yet this traditional approach often fails to provide the depth of insight needed to drive real production improvements. In this webinar, Rockwell will introduce an evolved approach to yield optimization — one that goes beyond OEE to deliver a more holistic yet detailed view of plant operations. By leveraging data more effectively and integrating advanced technologies, you’ll understand how leading companies are able to pinpoint root causes of inefficiencies, minimize losses, and lay a foundation for future AI/ML-driven productivity.

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, unplanned downtime is a significant drain on resources and operational performance, leading to substantial production losses. Obsolescence risk is inevitable and occurs in new and old equipment. Your operation is at high risk for downtime when an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) decides to no longer produce a critical part required to run your production line and there is no available inventory of that part or plan to replace it. Proactive maintenance practices such as planned preventive maintenance (PPM) can go a long way toward reducing the occurrence of unplanned downtime events. However, when these events involve obsolete parts that are difficult to source or replace, the disruption is often prolonged. This is why a strong inventory management program and budget is imperative to manage obsolescence risk. Otherwise, the financial impact of downtime events can be catastrophic.
KNX is a powerful and flexible standard for building automation. It enables the seamless integration of various devices for controlling lighting, heating, air conditioning, blinds, safety systems, energy management, and more. The KNX Step Power power supply ensures smooth bus communication. It is the first KNX power supply with a nominal current of 640 m and an active KNX choke. This adapts dynamically to the connected load of the KNX devices and increases the efficiency of the bus system up to a KNX communication of 1,200 mA. Unlike the passive KNX chokes available on the market, the full load of up to 1,200 mA can be ensured here without reaching magnetic saturation. In addition, the integrated color display provides all the relevant KNX status information at a glance. It does not just reflect the current system status but also provides a wealth of information via the menu. This is used primarily for the setup, diagnostics, and extension of the KNX system. This results in a range of advantages for the users and system operators: the BUS and AUX outputs can be viewed separately, so that the error analysis can be narrowed down.
