Rockwell Automation and OSIsoft Extend Long-term Partnership Agreement

Partnership empowers industrial customers to build solid data foundation for digital transformation

Milwaukee, WI –Rockwell Automation announced an extension of its 15-year partnership with OSIsoft to ensure continued value for industrial manufacturing customers by enabling informed, data-driven decisions. OSIsoft’s PI System is the market-leading operations data management platform for industrial organizations meeting next-generation demands for efficiency, reliability, security, sustainability, and resilience.
The agreement reinforces the companies’ joint commitment to drive outcome-based digital transformation solutions for customers across essential industries, including energy, mining, oil and gas, utilities, pharmaceuticals, transportation, and more.

Customers will benefit from this partnership in several ways. They can take advantage of Rockwell’s FactoryTalk® Historian—which is powered by PI System and offered as part of the FactoryTalk® OperationsSuite. This software provides premier integration with FactoryTalk® InnovationSuite, powered by PTC, making it an essential data management component to execute on the customer’s overall digital transformation strategy. As an example, one of Rockwell Automation’s large automotive customers experienced a nearly 80 percent- time savings by populating data into PTC ThingWorx using the FactoryTalk® Historian ThingWorx connector. Additionally, customers can optimize their operational investments with subscription-based business models.

"We are thrilled to expand our agreement with OSIsoft.This partnership helps us continue to provide industry-leading digital transformation solutions to the process, discrete, and hybrid manufacturing industries.
