Rockwell Digital Consultant Resource Catalog to Help Specify Automation Solutions

Rockwell Automation has released a digital tool to help consulting engineers to specify products and solutions. According to Rockwell, the Heavy Industries Consultant Resource Catalog (CRC) helps reduce engineering time and costs for the consultant by providing the information and tools to help make the right product decisions and produce professional project procurement specifications. The catalog also helps consultants adhere to LEED requirements and specification standards in the Water Wastewater, Mining, Minerals and Cement, Oil and Gas, and Power Generation and Infrastructure industries.

The more than 80 automation and control specification categories in the Consultant Resource Catalog help consultants choose solutions in areas such as energy-efficiency, sustainability, safety, intelligent motor control, programmable logic controllers, integrated architecture and DCS/process automation control. Many of the specifications are written in the style and format of the industry-preferred Construction Specifications Institute (CSI).

“The consulting community is a critical group of companies that influence so many industries,” says Pat Murray, manager of Industry Sales at Rockwell Automation. “Providing these engineers with updated tools and current data on the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system and Power Control enable them to correctly specify and engineer Rockwell Automation products into the owner’s projects. The new CRC also provides these engineers with the ability to receive automatic updates as changes and enhancements occur.”

The CRC is a collection of product and solution literature, specifications and engineering software from Rockwell Automation. A CRC USB provides the unique feature of two easy-to-use interfaces, so consultants can view information either by Industry and Solutions or by Product.

The Product interface provides product-specific brochures, knowledge, configuration and selection tools, and procurement specifications to help consultants choose solutions and assist in the intricacies of construction-specification writing.. The catalog is free to consultants and uses current program updater software to automatically update the CRC with new information.
