Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, will demonstrate how manufacturers can create more intelligent, flexible and secure operations at SPS 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, November 24–26.
Under the theme “From Automation to Autonomy,” the company will showcase how industrial AI, software-defined automation (SDA) and cybersecurity can help manufacturers improve performance throughout the production lifecycle. In industrial operations, autonomy enables production systems to use real-time data, AI and software-driven control to support or automate decisions across engineering, operations and maintenance.
Central to the stand will be the SOAP Factory (Smart, Orchestrated, Autonomous Production), a connected production environment showing how these capabilities work together across design, operation and maintenance.
“Many manufacturers are being asked to increase productivity, improve resilience and respond faster to changing market demands, often while working within existing facilities and infrastructure,” said Vincenzo Monaco, managing director DACH, Rockwell Automation. “The transition from automation to autonomy is about helping them make better decisions across the production lifecycle, using industrial AI, software-defined automation and cybersecurity to unlock greater value from the assets and investments they already have.”
