Innovation key theme at RSTechED

The annual Rockwell Automation Software Technical Education (RSTechED) conference was recently held in Melbourne. In its thirteenth year, the popular event was sold out weeks in advance with more than 150 end users, system integrators, partners and OEMs attending the three-day event.

“The lab sessions were an opportunity to provide hands-on product demonstrations which allowed customers to use the technology and see what it can do for them within their specific applications,” said Dean Tresidder, Solutions Architect, Rockwell Automation.

“We brought all our technical expertise to the event and RSTechED provided the venue to share ideas, educate people about the core technology and open their eyes to new technologies,” explained Tresidder.

Innovation was a key theme in this year’s event as Rockwell Automation continues to release and integrate more products to meet customers’ changing requirements.

“The need for increased productivity is driving the quest for innovation and our products provide a platform for our customers to add their specific components and deliver their own innovative solution to their individual applications,” said Scott Miller, Business Manager, Visualization Software at Rockwell Automation.

“A key challenge facing industry today is the proliferation of data sources and devices. The challenge is that it’s no longer enough to have the user experience for a single product, or a single data source. There is a requirement for technology to combine a variety of data sources and present them in a cohesive fashion.”
