1 min read
Rockwell Automation has bought privately-held Pavilion Technologies, the model-based process optimisation and environmental compliance software firm launched in the US 15 years ago. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The Pavilion Technologies management team and employees become part of Rockwell Automation’s Architecture & Software segment. Pavilion Technologies software products are being integrated into the Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk integrated production and performance suite, as well as the Logix control platform.
“This acquisition continues our investment in the process automation business and expands our capabilities to serve this major global market more completely,” says Steven Eisenbrown, senior vice president of Rockwell Automation’s Architecture & Software segment.
“Combining Pavilion Technologies’ predictive modelling capabilities with the already-robust ability of our integrated architecture to control process applications will help our customers create a more agile, efficient and consistent production environment. That translates into faster response to market demands at lower cost with better quality.”
“In terms of technology, no one comes close to Pavilion Technologies,” says Colin Masson, AMR Research. “It has a stellar list of customers and has succeeded where many others have struggled in building a partnership with SAP.”
“This acquisition represents another key milestone in the expansion of our FactoryTalk integrated production and performance software suite,” says Kevin Roach, vice president, Rockwell Software. “Their commitment to delivering the highest ROI in the industry has helped Pavilion Technologies pioneer a customer engagement methodology built on providing predictable results.”
