ROKLive 2025: What You Might Have Missed at the NHP Stand
21/08/2025
As the major sponsor of ROKLive 2025, NHP was proud to help bring together more than 700 industry professionals for three days of innovation, learning, and hands-on exploration. As Rockwell Automation’s exclusive distributor in Australia and new Zealand, this event was an incredible opportunity to connect with our customers and demonstrate how industrial automation and smart manufacturing technologies are shaping the future of industry.
The atmosphere was electric, with labs and live demos drawing big crowds and sparking valuable conversations. At the NHP stand, we showcased a series of demonstrations highlighting the latest advancements in machine safety, OT cybersecurity, visualisation, industrial enclosures, and power distribution. Here’s a recap of what you might have missed.
Smart Safety Cube
One of the most talked-about demos was our Smart Safety Cube, designed to highlight the advantages of an integrated approach to machine safety compared to traditional hardwired systems. By connecting safety devices across the network, Smart Safety delivers real-time data and a complete picture of machine and line status. Attendees could see how GuardLink, together with a CIP Safety Network, enabled faster diagnostics and predictive maintenance. Controlled and visualised through the ASEM 6300 Panel PCwith FactoryTalk View SE, this demo showed how smart manufacturing solutions improve uptime, agility, and productivity while lowering total cost of ownership.
ACB Racker with Optix
Our demo of the TemRack iR ACB Racker paired with the OptixPanel drew strong interest from customers focused on power distribution and maintenance safety. As the only internally integrated solution for remote racking on the market, the TemRack iR eliminates arc flash risks by allowing racking to be completed safely from a distance. Using the OptixPanel and the FactoryTalk Optix visualisation platform, attendees could monitor live ACB readings, including continual temperature monitoring of contacts, connections, and conductive paths with the Terasaki 3C system. This demo showcased how combining remote operation with powerful visualisation tools drives both safety and efficiency in modern industrial automation environments.
CIP Security Demo
Cybersecurity is one of the biggest challenges in operational technology (OT) today, and our CIP Security demo highlighted how critical it is to protect connected devices. Using 5069 CompactLogix and PowerFlex 755 TS Variable Speed Drives, we demonstrated how CIP Security blocks malicious activity by rejecting untrusted communications, detecting altered data, and preventing unauthorised access to EtherNet/IP information. Visitors could clearly see the difference between CIP Security-enabled devices and those without protection. Built to meet key IEC 62443 requirements, this solution adds essential authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality to OT cybersecurity strategies.
nVent Floor Enclosures
Available in both mild steel and stainless steel, these enclosures are designed to perform in the toughest conditions. Additionally they offer IP66-rated dust and water resistance, IK10 impact protection, and have undergone rigorous corrosion testing to ensure long-term durability. Customers experienced firsthand how modular baying systems, adjustable mounting plates, and tool-free snap-in accessories streamline installation and future expansion. With smart design features like removable panels for easy access, nVent enclosures deliver a powerful combination of strength, flexibility, and efficiency, making them the ideal choice for a wide range of industrial automation and control applications.
Distribution Board Demo
Our final demo put the spotlight on advanced metering with Socomec Digiware, showcasing how real-time insights can enhance energy management and efficiency. Alongside this, we demonstrated features such as automatic changeover for dual incoming supplies, independent tee-off isolation to meet AS/NZS3000 compliance, surge diverters, and optical arc protection. Emergency lighting test facilities and live line indication were also on display, highlighting how NHP’s panelboard solutions bring together safety, compliance, and reliability across diverse power distribution applications.
