Reduce Complexity and Boost Productivity with Allen-Bradley® On-Machine™ Solutions by Rockwell Automation®

On-Machine™ solutions move controls and hardware out of traditional cabinets, streamlining equipment design. Instead of residing in a large enclosure, components are mounted directly on the machine. This enables greater modularity, fewer connections, and accelerated equipment installation and startup.

On-Machine solutions are:

Efficient

Simplify the equipment lifecycle

Fewer components and connections simplify design, build, and maintenance.

Lower installation costs

Quick-connect cabling options accelerate installation, reducing the time it takes to make connections by as much as a tenth.

Save floor space and energy

Smaller equipment footprints reduce thermal management requirements and energy consumption.

Flexible

Accelerate automation design

A variety of mounting options and standardized, plug-and-play components make it easier to find the right fit.

Adapt to what’s needed

Modular solutions make it easier to customize equipment and streamline equipment movement and re-assembly.

Optimize for scale

Reduce the cost of large-scale retooling and reconfiguration with compact, modular, decentralized solutions.

Easier to maintain

Reduce mean time to repair (MTTR)

Less wiring and smaller control cabinet sizes streamline maintenance processes.

Reduce risk of failure

Plug-and-play components and quick-connect cabling options speed installation and minimize wiring errors.

Accelerate troubleshooting

Diagnose equipment issues faster by accessing solutions at the point of operation.
