Rockwell Automation acquires Acquisition ASEM S.p.A.

Rockwell Automation has announced the introduction of its VersaView 6300 family of Allen-Bradley Industrial Computers, which will be available starting August 2020. The launch of the VersaView 6300 family follows the May 2020 acquisition of ASEM S.p.A. and represents an extension of the company’s capability for industrial PCs (IPC), human machine interface (HMI) and secure Industrial IoT remote access solutions.

Through the acquisition, Rockwell Automation has also added what it calls “a world-class centre of excellence for R&D and manufacturing” in Italy and the ability to offer a high degree of configurability and customisation to its customers around the world.

The first new products to be made available will include an extensive range of monitors, box PCs, panel PCs, thin clients and remote connectivity products. Additional new product variants and customisation options that will deepen the Rockwell Automation offering for industrial computing will be added over the coming year.

Guerra, ASEM President and CEO, said: “The VersaView® product family benefits from the latest technology with all of the heritage, quality and innovation that ASEM has developed over the past 40 years. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in the ASEM story as our Artegna-based operation continues to support and develop our cutting-edge industrial automation computing technology for our existing customers and reaches new markets around the world.”

Bart Nieuwborg, Rockwell Automation product manager visualisation, EMEA region, said: “The VersaView® 6300 family is being made available to purchasers over the next few months, and full technical details and specifications are available now to allow customers the opportunity to factor the new capabilities into ongoing and forthcoming investments. We are excited to offer full customisation capabilities for our customers with the addition of a world-class centre of excellence for industrial computing solutions, and are very excited to continue to build out our offering in the coming months and long into the future.”
