Rockwell's $4 million facility has all the bells and whistles: a customer training centre, a dedicated project engineering staging area and a test and repair facility. The company intends to use the centre for conducting proof-of-concept demonstrations for clients as well as training.

"Bayswater is an ideal location for access to both local and regional customers," said Twain Drewett, Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand.

"The new facility provides space for the growing team at Rockwell Automation and includes a Customer Briefing Room featuring a nine-metre-wide display wall focusing on Plant Wide Optimisation and Machine Builder Performance."

The centre was officially opened on 8 March. Guests in attendance included Mark Dreyfus, the Parliamentary Secretary for Industry and Innovation; Heidi Victoria, the Member for Bayswater; Tim Piper, Director Victoria, Australian Industry Group; Bob Ruff, Rockwell Automation's President Asia Pacific; and Ted Crandall, Senior Vice President of Finance. Rockwell's entire Asia-Pacific leadership team joined the guests to officially open the new premises.
