Transform the equipment lifecycle and streamline operations 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.
Simplify design
Drive cost savings and improve operational efficiency across the equipment lifecycle with streamlined designs.
Build & install faster
Optimize workflows and costs with systems that require fewer components and connections.
Enhance flexibility
Create modular, decentralized systems that can be efficiently scaled and customized to meet specific needs.
Prioritize sustainability
Reduce energy use with smaller equipment footprints and minimized thermal requirements.
Less Complexity. More Productivity.
Designing to meet today’s smart manufacturing needs can yield systems that are complex to design and complicated to operate and support. What if there was a way to simplify your machine designs while making them more flexible and easier to use? While using our On-Machine™ solutions, all this and more is now possible.
Our On-Machine products are field mounted outside of an electrical cabinet so that you can move away from large, central enclosures - and mount your devices in locations that are better optimized for your applications. Your machines can now achieve new levels of performance while requiring fewer components to get the job done.
Learn about the Allen‑Bradley On-Machine Portfolio
On-Machine solutions enable decentralized control architectures where automation components are field-mounted rather than kept in large electrical enclosures. This approach offers more simplified, modular machines that can have lower total costs, reduced footprint and less time to operation.
