The SV680 flagship high-performance servo drive successfully obtained the functional safety certificate issued by TÜV Rheinland headquarters in Germany. It is the first EC Type-Examination Certification certificate for the drive’s complex safety functions issued by the European Union Notified Body in China. This certification marks that the product not only meets the market access requirements of EU countries, but also creates a new milestone in the functional safety of domestic servo drives and achieves a new breakthrough in international certification. With the development of automation and intelligence in the industrial field, electronic/electrical control systems for mechanical equipment have become increasingly popular, and failure of the control system may lead to serious consequences such as casualties, economic losses, and environmental pollution. Therefore, "functional safety" has become an important indicator for evaluating the safety of mechanical systems. At present, in lithium batteries, semiconductors, automobiles, wind power, food processing and other industries, "functional safety" has increasingly become the guarantee for building the bottom line of industrial system safety. On December 7, Germany's TÜV Rheinland (hereinafter referred to as "TÜV Rheinland"), the world's leading third-party testing and certification agency, issued a functional safety certificate for Inovance Technology's SV680 flagship high-performance servo drive. Products that pass this certification can fully meet In accordance with the requirements of functional safety standards such as EN 61800-5-2, EN 61508, EN ISO 13849, etc., the level reaches SIL 3 and PL e/Cat. 3. TÜV Rheinland Industrial Services and Information Security General Manager Zhao Bin, Deputy General Manager of Industrial Services and Information Security Yang Jiayue, Inovance Technology Drive Product R&D Director Yuan Huayou, Drive Product LMT Director Song Junhua, Marketing Operations Senior Manager Guo Guangdong and other representatives from both parties attended the meeting at Inovance Certification ceremony held by Technology Suzhou. This certification is Inovance Technology’s emphasis on the concept of putting users’ lives first, and is also a strong implementation of the company’s vision of “promoting industrial civilization and creating a better life together”. After evaluation by TÜV Rheinland's German expert system, the SV680 flagship high-performance servo drive has extremely high technical complexity and integrates three complex subsystems (i.e., drive system, bus system and safety encoder sensor system). It is worth mentioning that during this certification project, the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC promulgated a new standard IEC 61800-5-3:2021 specifically for safety encoders, and the SV680 series servo drives can quickly be compatible with this standard to ensure All certifications were completed in record time. This fully demonstrates its outstanding techn...

Traceability of the entire pharmaceutical production process is an important means to ensure pharmaceutical quality. In August 2023, the local standard "Construction and Operation Specifications for Digital Traceability System for the Whole Process of Drug Production" (DB31/T 1400-2012) drafted by the Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Administration, Shanghai Pharmaceutical Quality Association and Shanghai Pharmaceutical Industry Association was officially Implementation, this standard also clarifies the construction of a digital traceability system covering the pharmaceutical production process to help enterprises promote digital development. In the same year, Rockwell joined hands with Daiichi Sankyo Pharmaceutical (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Daiichi Sankyo") to make a breakthrough attempt at advanced cloud deployment methods to create a full life cycle digital management and manufacturing management system (MES).  Daiichi Sankyo is an original research-based multinational group with a history of more than 120 years. As early as the 1980s, Daiichi Sankyo began to introduce many excellent original research products into China and continued to expand its business in China. Now it has successfully established business organizations in China including R&D, production and sales. Rockwell's mature pharmaceutical MES suite PharmaSuite helps Daiichi Sankyo achieve full life cycle traceability of materials and control of key production links; establish a new management model suitable for Daiichi Sankyo's development; and realize digitalization and refinement of production management. , production decisions are visualized and intelligent; it promotes enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and continuously improve industrial levels. The quality of drugs needs to be reflected by design endowment, production process guarantee, and inspection results. Quality is not determined by inspection, but by design and production. Therefore, when drugs leave the factory, not only must the inspection results comply with regulations, but the production process must also comply with design and specification requirements. Rockwell uses the PharmaSuite MES system to provide Daiichi Sankyo with work order management, labeled material management and equipment management, and quality control of the production process. In the future, the system will automatically collect key operating parameters of the equipment and electronically record and efficiently collect the production process. data. This project innovatively applies the industry's advanced cloud deployment method in Daiichi Sankyo, reducing enterprise deployment and debugging time, reducing operation and maintenance and hardware investment costs, and ensuring future scalability and continuous updates and upgrades. Join hands with ecological partners to shape an intelligent future. As a leader in smart manufacturing, Rockwell Automation relies on its rich experience and advanced technolog...

Acquisition to expand Rockwell’s cybersecurity offering, building the resiliency and security of customers’ operations MILWAUKEE, OCTOBER 23, 2023 -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Verve Industrial Protection, a cybersecurity software and services company that focuses specifically on industrial environments, expanding the offerings of Rockwell with an industry-leading asset inventory system and vulnerability management solution. A recent Rockwell Automation report found that operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) attacks are on the rise, with 60% of the incidents studied resulting in operational disruption. As companies continually add hardware and software alongside legacy equipment in plants, many organizations struggle to manage and protect these assets across an expanded attack surface, increasing the potential for cyberattacks. Meanwhile, the industry is plagued with significant resource and talent shortages needed to implement and manage operational technology (OT) cybersecurity programs. The Verve Security Center platform enables real-time asset inventory, vulnerability management, and risk remediation that will strengthen Rockwell’s current offerings and address these issues. The Verve Security Center platform was built to provide IT-level security while addressing the unique challenges of the OT environment. At the center of the Verve platform is an asset inventory system that recognizes all industrial assets, regardless of manufacturer. Verve’s proprietary approach communicates directly with the assets, gathering critical information without impacting network performance and interrupting production. It then aggregates a wide range of data sources, including Rockwell’s partner technologies, into its platform as a “single pane of glass” that provides actionable insight for customers to quickly address their highest risk assets. Verve professional services also provide ongoing remediation, along with strategic roadmap and business case development, further deepening Rockwell’s cybersecurity consulting capabilities. Going forward, customers will benefit from comprehensive capabilities that span the entire attack continuum with the combined expertise of Verve, Rockwell, and Rockwell’s technology partnerships. The acquisition is subject to customary approvals and is expected to close in the first quarter of Rockwell’s fiscal year 2024. At close, Verve will report into Rockwell’s Lifecycle Services operating segment.
