Kinnareds Well chooses Rockwell Automation partner Hax
Technologies to help it improve productivity and operator
experience with the Allen-Bradley OptixPanel Standard Graphic
Terminal
BRUSSELS, April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell
Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company
dedicated to industrial automation and digital
transformation, today announced a successful collaboration
with Swedish OEM Hax Technologies to upgrade and optimize the
human-machine interface for Kinnareds Well.
Sweden's Kinnareds Well is an
award-winning producer of sustainable, reliable corrugated paper
and cardboard packing that supplies retailers and manufacturers
throughout Europe. When the
company decided to upgrade the human-machine interface (HMI) on one
of its key production lines, it was seeking a solution combining
reliability, ease of use, and versatility.
The Allen-Bradley OptixPanel™ Standard Graphic Terminal from
Rockwell Automation was selected because it integrates seamlessly
with the latest FactoryTalk® software. The displays provide
high-quality, high-resolution graphics and an intuitive
configurable interface. Engineers were able to quickly connect and
configure the OptixPanel Standard Graphic Terminal, getting the
assembly line up and running in a short time.
Using the graphic terminal's secure remote access features, the
engineers from Hax Technologies were able to complete much of the
configuration without being on site. Hax Technologies has since
used the same feature to provide remote support as part of a
long-term service contract with Kinnareds Well.
Kinnareds Well also leveraged the panel's built-in web server,
giving staff access to the HMI from other locations without the
need to buy extra panels.
"The combination of the OptixPanel Standard Graphic Terminal's
ease of configuration, its versatility and the advanced remote
access features meant it was both easy to configure and easy to get
the best possible performance from the assembly line," said
Peter Nilsson, automation manager at
Hax Technologies and team lead on the Kinnareds Well upgrade
project.
"We're very pleased with the upgrade," said Kinnareds Well CEO
Peter Syrén. "The combination of the
easy-to-use interface and the advanced remote-access features have
helped to improve the operator experience and to maximize
productivity."
"Smart visualization solutions are an important technology that
can help empower workers," added Asa
Arvidsson, regional vice president sales, north region,
Rockwell Automation, who is based in Sweden. "We are proud to help support this
project with Kinnareds Well."
