Description

Attack Risks at Their Roots

Focus on Your Infrastructure to Address Problems Where They Originate

Industrial risk management should be directed at the areas where incidents such as worker injuries, data breaches, and product recalls originate. In many cases, that is your industrial automation infrastructure.

The four key areas that your risk management efforts should address include:

Equipment Obsolescence: Modernize your control and information systems to minimize downtime, support compliance, and address quality, safety, and security
Quality: Capitalize on the data available in a connected enterprise to improve quality management and meet regulatory requirements
Safety: Follow the lead of best-in-class manufacturers by addressing safety in three crucial areas: culture, compliance, and capital
Security: Employ a comprehensive security approach to protect against the ever-growing threat landscape of today

Industrial Risk Management in the Information Era

Address Safety Through Security

Industrial security risks threaten more than intellectual property loss, disrupted operations, and compromised product quality. They also can endanger human and environmental safety. Compromised safety systems can expose individual workers and entire facilities to safety risks. In addition, tampered or disrupted systems can threaten the food, medication, water, and energy supplies that populations depend on.

When you integrate safety and security in a connected enterprise and follow key steps, you can assess, manage, and mitigate the safety implications of security risks.

A Growing Need for Traceability and Serialization

Achieve Compliance and Enhance Industrial Risk Management

New regulations aim to strengthen supply chains and improve product traceability. These regulations create new requirements for food, pharmaceutical, metals, and other manufacturers to implement serialization or traceability solutions.

A holistic serialization system can help you meet these requirements and create seamless data sharing across the supply chain and traceability down to the saleable unit level. A serialization or track-and-trace system also offers additional business benefits in a connected enterprise. Reverse logistics, for example, can help you conduct more efficient product recalls and provide valuable data for improved forecasting.

Keep a More Watchful Eye on Risks

Digitize Industrial Risk Management to Enhance Security and Safety

Worried about cyber security in a connected enterprise? If so, consider that many organizations already have legacy technologies in place that deliver data to unprotected automation systems. As the number of connected devices grows, so do the entry points for hackers. The Connected Enterprise® presents an opportunity to manage these risks and enhance security.

Smarter technologies in a connected enterprise can also help manage safety. Self-aware equipment can monitor its own performance and alert personnel before safety issues arise. Mobile terminals can help keep workers at a safe distance from equipment. Embedded intelligence can help protect product integrity and consumer safety.

Scalable Assessment Solutions

Conformity Audits	Risk Assessments
*Multiple machines/plant-wide machine audit*	*Risk Assessment or Team-Based Risk Assessment (TBRA)*
Provides a high-level analysis of specific safety areas	Risk Assessment – provides analysis using limited customer personnel Team-Based Risk Assessment – In-depth analysis from a multidisciplinary team, required for critical or complex machines
Provides a high-level safety analysis of machine: Conformity audit that analyzes guarding, components that perform a safety function, E-stops, lockout/ tagout and/or isolation devices are identified and labeled Existing safety circuit estimation Prioritizes machines for further assessment	Standard Risk Assessment: Evaluation by Rockwell Automation safety engineer/consultant, limited customer involvement (typically operations/maintenance) Evaluation report includes: – Documentation of participants – Identification of primary hazards/tasks – Risk-in/risk-out rating – Recommendations for safety improvements, such as: protective guarding; electrical safety controls; pneumatic/fluid power safety controls Safety circuit performance requirements Photograph of critical identified hazards (based on customer approval)
	Team-based Risk Assessment: All features of the standard Risk Assessment (above) with the following additional features: Team-based assessment facilitated by Rockwell Automation safety engineer/consultant Your team of operations, maintenance, engineering, technicians, cleaning, sanitation and safety personnel provides input during the assessment Basic risk assessment training Hazard identification during setup, normal and abnormal operation, sanitation/cleaning, maintenance (under limited energy), emergency conditions Report documentation includes all elements from the safety evaluation This service can satisfy the risk assessment requirements of safety standards such as OSHA, ANSI, CE machinery directive
