罗克韦尔自动化和E＋H合作为客户提供过程现场设备专家技术以及全过程自动化解决方案

Alliance between market leaders continues to address today's process manufacturing challenges and works toward technologies for next-generation process control systems

这两家市场领导者的联合继续应对着现今过程制造的挑战，携手开发下一代过程控制系统技术

At the eleventh annual ARC Forum in Orlando, Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser demonstrated progress in their strategic alliance designed to deliver world-class process manufacturing solutions and develop next-generation process control technologies.

在奥兰多举办的第十一届ARC年度论坛上，罗克韦尔自动化和E＋H(恩德斯+豪斯)公司向大众展示了他们两者战略联盟所取得的成就，这个联盟旨在提供世界级的过程制造解决方案以及开发下一代过程控制系统技术。

Formed in December 2004, the unique alliance was established to provide comprehensive solutions for plant engineering, operations and management to customers with a mix of process and discrete automation tasks, using Endress+Hauser's market-leading measurement devices and the Rockwell Automation integrated control and information architecture. Since then, the collaboration of the two suppliers has focused on three key strategic initiatives: technology innovation, integrated asset management and coordinated engineering services.

这个独特的联盟成立于2004年12月，旨在通过使用E+H公司市场领先的测量设备以及罗克韦尔集成控制和信息架构，为客户提供工厂工程、运作和管理综合解决方案，一个过程和离散自动化任务的综合。从此，这两家供应商的合作集中于三个关键战略活动：技术创新、集成资产管理以及协调工程服务。

"Unlike point solution providers or traditional process automation vendors, this global partnership draws from the core competencies of both companies to produce something that is greater than the sum of two independent parts," said Steve Eisenbrown, senior vice president, Rockwell Automation. "Together we are able to deliver best-in-class measurement, automation and information solutions to help customers succeed."

罗克韦尔自动化高级副总裁Steve Eisenbrown表示：”与点解决方案或者传统过程自动化供应商不同，我们这个全球范围内的合作包括范围从我们两家公司的核心业务到生产一些比我们两家独立公司的总和还要好的产品。联合在一起我们可以提供顶级的测量、自动化以及信息解决方案，帮助客户取得成功。“

With preferred integration between the Endress+Hauser spectrum of process instruments (including level, flow, pressure, temperature and analytical) and the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture, process manufacturers are able to reduce risk and integration costs while protecting their investment with assured interoperability. In addition, a seamless flow of information between key components of the manufacturing process-from the field device through enterprise business systems-improves decision-making and overall equipment optimization.

利用E+H过程仪器产品（包括物位、流量、压力、温度以及分析）和罗克韦尔自动化集成架构的联合，过程制造商可以减少风险和集成成本，同时通过明确的互操作性保护他们的投资。此外，从现场设备到企业业务系统等制造过程的关键部件之间的一个无缝信息流改善了决策的制定以及全面的设备优化。

"The strong alliance between Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser goes beyond simply offering field instrumentation in conjunction with Integrated Architecture automation systems," stated Larry O'Brien, research director at ARC Advisory Group. "It involves joint research and development between the two companies, as well as fieldbus interoperability testing, and even encompasses the integration of Rockwell Automation's own devices, such as drives, into a complete plant asset management solution."

ARC 咨询集团研究主管Larry O'Brien表明道：”罗克韦尔自动化和E+H之间的强强联合超出了仅仅简单地提供与集成架构自动化系统相配合的现场仪器的范畴，它涉及了这两家公司的共同研究开发，现场总线互操作性的测试，甚至包括将罗克韦尔的自家设备，例如驱动，集成到一个完整的工厂资产管理解决方案。“

Alliance Initiatives Address Customer Needs
联盟活动响应了客户的需求

The alliance initiatives have helped manufacturers more tightly coordinate the process and discrete portions of their plants, and also increased understanding of the importance of open standards such as field device tool (FDT) in industrial automation. Through the alliance, Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser have been promoting field device tool/device type manager (FDT/DTM) technology that provides a single interface to devices residing on multiple field and control networks. The two companies also support a range of standard bus technologies and have several board level positions, including the HART Communication Foundation, Fieldbus Foundation, FDT Group and ODVA.

联盟活动已经帮助制造商更紧地调整他们工厂的过程和离散部分，还提高了他们对工业自动化中例如如如现场设备工具(FDT)(FDT)等开放式标准的重要性的认识。通过联盟，罗克韦尔自动化和E+H公司推广了如现场设备工具/设备种类管理器 (FDT/DTM)技术，为多种现场和控制网络上的设备提供了一个统一的接口。这两家公司还支持一系列的标准总线技术，拥有数个董事会级别的地位，包括HART通讯基金会、现场总线基金会、FDT集团和ODVA。

"Listening to the needs and challenges our customers face led us to work together to expand device connectivity and configuration capabilities," said Todd Lucey, general manager, Endress+Hauser. "Through collaboration, both companies are able to provide a wide range of pre-tested, standards-based measurement, automation and information solutions to help our customers reduce costs, improve efficiency and optimize plant assets."

E+H公司总经理Todd Lucey表示:"倾听客户所面对的需要和挑战使我们一道拓展设备连接性和配置容量。通过合作，两家公司都可以提供范围广阔的预测试过的、基于各种标准的测量、自动化和信息解决方案，帮助我们的客户降低成本，提高效率，优化工厂资产。”

Customer Successes Through Collaboration
通过合作为客户带来成功

Manufacturers across a range of industries are already taking advantage of the value this collaboration brings. Rockwell Automation and Endress+Hauser recently worked together to assist two renewable energy customers, Integrity Biofuels and Archer Daniels Midland to meet demanding timelines on the implementation of control systems for their biodiesel facilities. The customer received a system that optimizes output, resources and assets using Endress+Hauser level, flow, pressure and temperature instruments in conjunction with the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture.

众多行业的制造商已经享受到了这个合作带来的极大利益。罗克韦尔自动化和E+H公司最近一道协助两家可再生能源公司， Integrity Biofuels公司和 Archer Daniels Midland公司，为他们的生物柴油工厂实施控制系统。使用E+H公司的物位、流量、压力以及温度仪器，配合罗克韦尔的集成架构，客户获了一个优化产量、资源和资产的系统。

The two companies also helped Red Gold, a food manufacturer, develop a control system for a "cookroom" used to make tomato products such as ketchup and canned tomatoes. Incorporating Endress+Hauser instruments and automated valves with Allen Bradley Programmable Automation Controllers, the customer was able to take advantage of a common software architecture and local supply.

这两家公司还帮助一家食品制造商Red Gold公司的一个制造间开发了一套控制系统，用于生产西红柿产品，例如调味番茄酱和罐装西红柿。结合E+H公司的仪器、自动阀门和A-B可编程自动化控制器（PAC），客户可以获得通用软件架构以及当地供应的优势。
