Rockwell Automation partners with Circulor for enhanced supply chain traceability

 Rockwell Automation is collaborating with Circulor, a supply chain traceability solution provider, to help  customers, especially in the auto, tire and battery industries, trace the origin of raw materials from source to final product, ensuring transparency across the entire supply chain.

Through this work, Rockwell Automation will reportedly offer advanced traceability solutions that enable manufacturers to meet emerging regulatory requirements while verifying the source materials, demonstrating digital chain-of-custody and tracking emissions. The company shares in a press statement that Circulor’s platform ensures compliance by providing a holistic view of the materials journey – from raw extraction to the finished battery. This reportedly empowers customers to not only adhere to regulatory standards but also achieve their sustainability goals.

“In an increasingly competitive and complex market where being sustainable and responsible is a strategic imperative, the combination of Rockwell’s state-of-the-art manufacturing expertise and Circulor’s leading traceability and digital product passports provide organizations with the answer to gaining a competitive advantage,” said Douglas Johnson-Poensgen, chief executive officer of Circulor.

This collaboration also reportedly aims to deliver business value beyond compliance. Circulor’s traceability platform and Rockwell’s existing automation systems provide actionable insights that can reduce costs, improve efficiency and create a competitive advantage in the evolving sustainability landscape.

“Our focus on sustainability aligns with our customers’ strategic objectives,” said James Glasson, vice president of global industry for auto, tire and advanced mobility at Rockwell Automation. “This collaboration with Circulor allows us to offer a comprehensive traceability solution that not only addresses growing global regulations but also provides unprecedented visibility into supply chain carbon footprints.”

Rockwell plans to deploy this solution globally across auto, tire, battery, metals, mining, and cement industries through Kalypso, a Rockwell Automation business. Kalypso will work closely with customers to assess their unique needs, provide consulting services and support the rollout of this solution across their supply chain.
