New FLEXLINE 3500 motor control centers deliver real-time
data that helps manufacturers increase productivity and save
energy
DUSSELDORF, Germany,
April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company
dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation,
launched the FLEXLINE™ 3500, a new low voltage motor control center
(MCC) for IEC markets globally, which can be seen at the Hannover
Messe 2024 trade fair in Germany
today.
With this motor control center, manufacturers can unlock
production data and increase uptime and productivity through a
portfolio of smart products. By integrating with smart motor
control devices, the FLEXLINE 3500 MCC delivers real-time operation
and diagnostic data for critical equipment.
"Hannover is a world-leading
trade show with industry-critical themes such as Industry 4.0,
intelligent devices and sustainability taking center stage,"
explained Diego Wilches, global
product manager, Rockwell Automation. "Our connected technology
delivers real-time operation data, letting manufacturers see and
solve downtime problems before they occur, as well as increasing
motor control energy efficiency and reducing power consumption
across operations. Hannover is the
ideal venue to launch this new offering."
The modular motor control center design is customizable to meet
many low-voltage motor control applications and factory footprints
while the technology is engineered for a wide range of industries,
from food and beverage to oil and gas. And when FLEXLINE 3500 motor
control centers are integrated with smart variable frequency
drives, manufacturers can significantly reduce power
consumption.
Additionally, the motor control center is engineered to
integrate motor control and power distribution into one centralized
package, meeting IEC 61439-1&2 standards for global customers.
The smart devices within FLEXLINE motor control centers help
deliver significant benefits:
- Reduce unplanned downtime with alarms and advanced diagnostic
information
- Reduce maintenance and energy costs
- Increase production throughput
- Improve plant and personnel safety
- Reduce engineering and commissioning costs
- Support sustainability and environmental footprint due to less
cables needed.
"Incorporating intelligence into manufacturing is a major shift
we are seeing manufacturers deploy strategically. And with the
introduction of the FLEXLINE 3500 motor control center, Rockwell
Automation brings greater insights to plant operators," said
Craig Resnick, vice president,
consulting, ARC Advisory Group. "By enabling more data-driven
decision making through smart motor control technology,
manufacturers can improve profitability, productivity and
operational efficiency."
The specifications of the new FLEXLINE 3500 MCC match a wide
range of industrial applications and manufacturing needs. For the
