Do your part for the “plug and produce” standard

1756-L542 Rockwell Automation, as a leader in smart manufacturing, will continue to address the challenges of using modular equipment (relatively easy for operations, more difficult for automation engineers), contribute to the development of modular automation standards, and actively join relevant industry organizations to bring greater benefits to the industry through these standards.

One of these industry groups, the BioPhorum Operations 1756-L542 Group, laid out the potential impact of “plug and go” technology on the life sciences industry in a 2019 paper:
1. Shorten time to market by up to 40%
2. The efficiency of production equipment is increased by up to 40%
3. There is almost no need to rely on automation engineering teams for replication production lines
4. Reduced fixed investment and operating expenses by up to 50%

1756-L542

As a member of the Plug-and-Produce working Group of the BioPhorum Operations Group, Rockwell Automation conducted six proof-of-concept and testing of the published modular automation /MTP standard in accordance with PEA and POL 1756-L542 requirements. Committed to the “plug and produce” workflow and the continuous improvement of NAMUR MTP standards. The test will not only help to develop innovative tools and solutions to support PEA and POL partners in industries ranging from life sciences to oil and gas; And, as other MTP standards continue to be released, it will continue to participate in the testing process and be able to improve PEA and POL solutions accordingly.
