JSOnline (Schmit) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke added an executive from Rockwell Automation Inc. to a federal advisory panel on manufacturing policy, Rockwell announced Friday.
Michael Laszkiewicz, a Rockwell vice president, became the 24th member of the 2010 Manufacturing Council. Rockwell has been active in Washington in lobbying efforts to shape manufacturing policy at a time when China and other international rivals are increasingly competitive pressures on American factories. In particular, Rockwell champions the idea of ultra-sophisticated and highly automated "smart factories" that hike productivity to unprecedented levels and make western manufacturers more competitive with low-wage Asian rivals.
