Rockwell Automation to Unveil Cutting-Edge Process Control Technology at Hannover Messe 2025
March 26, 2025, DUSSELDORF, Germany – Rockwell Automation will showcase groundbreaking advancements in industrial automation at this year’s Hannover Messe. The company will present a cutting-edge separator technology developed through a close collaboration with key industry partners. This display promises to highlight how Rockwell Automation and its partners push the boundaries of automation innovation.
New Separator Technology for Craft Breweries and Cider Producers
Rockwell Automation will feature a revolutionary process skid designed specifically for craft breweries and cider producers. The technology is centered around GEA's next-generation control system, GEA X Control, developed with input from Rockwell specialists across multiple regions, including Germany, India, and the USA. This system is paired with Rockwell’s FactoryTalk® Optix™ software, a cloud-based design suite that significantly enhances HMI, data visualization, and strengthens Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capabilities.
Digital Twin Technology for Seamless Integration
The project utilizes Eplan software solutions to create a digital twin of the separator’s control system. This twin is connected to the control system, offering real-time insights into system operations. The integration with Rockwell's Studio 5000® design software enables seamless monitoring and control. Thanks to Eplan's augmented reality-based eViewAR, users can visualize the system's operation directly at the control cabinet, enhancing both engineering and service visibility.
Collaboration with Rockwell’s Extensive Partner Network
The collaboration with key industry players like GEA, Eplan, and Rittal has created an innovative, plug-and-play automation system that delivers both fast time-to-market and significant operational benefits. By integrating Rockwell’s solutions, including AI-enabled technologies, the project aims to provide a competitive advantage for customers by accelerating their path to value and improving overall system performance.
The Benefits of Plug-and-Produce Automation Technologies
This project is a prime example of how digital transformation is reshaping industries. Rockwell’s plug-and-produce technology ensures seamless interconnectivity and significantly reduces development time. By utilizing modular, pre-configured solutions, engineers can develop systems faster, and customers can experience quicker operational readiness. The modular approach also ensures flexibility and scalability, key advantages in an ever-evolving industrial environment.
