Transforming Open Device and System Integration
Paul Brooks, Senior Manager for the Technology and Innovation Group at Rockwell, represents Rockwell Automation on the FDT Board of Directors.
Paul is a thought leader within his organization and for the FDT Group. In this short video, Brooks discusses the importance of belonging to industry standards groups, such as FDT Group, to share and learn best practices with vendor peers to benefit the industrial end-user community with the solutions they need.
FDT (IEC 62453) enables the interfaces to support open device and system integration. These key interfaces allow information to be presented consistently without vendor-specific models that limit interoperability and data access.
"Open enables simple and simplification in a heterogeneous environment is what really matters," says Brooks.
