Building Predictability in Project Timelines with Preferred Products
Supply chain challenges continue to put a strain on project schedules. A major cause of delays for OEMs and manufacturers is a small number of selected components that have longer or less predictable lead times. To minimize the possibility of this kind of upset to production, Rockwell Automation® has developed the Preferred Products Program.
Preferred Products are a curated list of commonly used, standard hardware products that support modern control system architectures. The products in this portfolio have broad application across industries and high availability. Incorporating products from this portfolio into project plans simplifies the product selection process and reduces your exposure to supply chain disruptions, without sacrificing performance.
