Rockwell Automation Inc. is the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and information. Through Encompass Product Partners, customers can quickly locate complementary products that best solve any application challenges. These products are critical components or connectivity solutions that extend and enhance Rockwell Automation installations.

OES designs and manufactures Process Variation Monitors under the ForceWorxTM brand, which is now referenced in the Encompass program. OES holds three patents for this breakthrough technology, which acts as an early warning system to alert machine operators when the manufacturing process is no longer stable.

In contrast to conventional practice, which sees manufacturers measure and test the parts for quality verification, OES's pro-active warning systems measure the process variance on a machine during production, thus detecting problems at the source before they become quality issues.

“We’ve proven the technology with some early adopters in the Machine Builder and Tier One Markets, but this opportunity will help us reach the early majority” President Paul Hogendoorn says with a smile. “It’s such an economical way to ensure part quality and machine health.”

Catching part defects early is one benefit; machine failure prevention is another one. Tool wear and tear, lack of lubrication, and misalignment can all lead to machine breakdown, and are all cause for variation in the manufacturing process... which ForceWorx products detect.

OES Technologies is proud to be part of the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetworkTM program, which includes business enterprise, sales and solutions, and product and technology partners. Through collaboration with Rockwell Automation, OES Technologies is helping its customers improve time to market, lower total cost for ownership, better manage assets, and lower manufacturing business risk.
