Event Guide November 12-13, 2018 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Convention Center Process Solutions User Group WELCOME TO PSUG 2018! On behalf of Rockwell Automation and our leadership team, I want to thank you for joining us here in Philadelphia this year. We are excited to have you and look forward to learning about your business challenges and how collectively we can apply The Connected Enterprise to your operations and help you become leaders in your respective industries. Innovation is happening all around us and at a pace that can be hard to keep up with. It can be challenging to know where and when and how to invest in not only your processes and technologies, but also in the people that continue to be so fundamental to production. Simply modernizing systems is no longer enough. Running old processes on a new platform will not provide the long-term gains required to stay competitive in today’s markets. It will take a more holistic approach. Modernization in today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing and production environments, means looking across the spectrum of variables that affect operations. Whether it be optimizing productivity, improving energy management, or maximizing safety, it takes an entrepreneurial and innovative mind-set and an openness to see opportunity in areas perhaps once overlooked. During your time here, you will see and hear how Rockwell Automation is investing in its future so we can help you navigate yours. Investments like our new strategic partnership with PTC, a leader in industrial IOT, will allow us to accelerate the digital transformation across heavy and light industries and across all levels of business. It highlights how we are aligning our vision of The Connected Enterprise and consistently embracing innovation so we can provide you, the engineers, the operators and the managers, with leading-edge tools and services that allow you to meet everyday challenges, gain greater insight into key production data and meet the continuous demand for better financial performance. The next two days are about you, some of the brightest process automation minds all gathered in one place. Whether you’re an end user, an OEM or a System Integrator, the program is built on feedback we have received from you over the last 15+ years of hosting this event. I highly encourage you to actively participate in these sessions, share ideas, and embrace the innovation that is transforming modern production processes and empowering each one of us to uncover new possibilities. Together, we can continue to make vital contributions to the world. Together, we can make a real difference. I sincerely hope you enjoy your time here in Philadelphia and that you make the most of your PSUG experience. Once again, we thank you for coming and look forward to an energetic two days.
