Creating the Future of Industrial Operations

Accelerating autonomy. Empowering people. Innovating together.

Intelligent autonomous systems will fuel the future of industry, empowering people to pursue greater innovation.

Blake Moret - CEO, Rockwell Automation

Discover how Rockwell Automation is creating the future of industrial operations.

The journey from automation to autonomy requires a strategic combination of industry-leading technology and deep domain expertise. Equipment that operates autonomously, intelligent motion, advanced analytics, closed loop control, and AI power the production lifecycle. But these technologies don't work in isolation. They require human oversight, strategic input, and innovation to cocreate and continuously optimize a production environment that is truly resilient, agile, and sustainable. By combining the imaginations of people with the potential of technology, we expand what is humanly possible.

Elevating production at every level

We see AI as a powerful partner to human ingenuity. We're embedding self-learning AI systems closer to the user and closer to the process, at the device level or within systems. With this approach, we help you continuously improve operations, accelerate time to value, and empower people to make faster, more informed decisions. The key is contextualized data: secure, enterprise-wide insights that are meaningful in the flow of work. FactoryTalk® LogixAI®, FactoryTalk® Analytics, Fiix® CMMS, and FactoryTalk® Design Studio™ Copilot are just a few of the ways that we are making industrial AI real.

Increase efficiency with multi-system orchestration

Seamless production logistics means more than moving materials from point A to point B. It's about orchestrating every system and process to work in harmony. We help you improve management and communication across disparate systems, enabling greater visibility and control at every stage. From manufacturing execution systems and warehouse management systems to PowerFlex® VFDs, Industrial IoT platforms, and advanced analytics, our solutions work together to support seamless coordination.

Evolve with ease using agile, open architecture

Open, multi-discipline control systems have long been the backbone of our approach to helping industrial companies unify discrete, process, power, safety, robotics, and motion control into a single architecture. Layered with the agility of software-defined systems and modern DevOps workflows, you gain the ability to adapt faster, find opportunities for innovation, and stay competitive. Built on Logix, and powered by our FactoryTalk® solutions and Ethernet/IP networking, this approach enables flexibility and keeps you ahead of change.

Simplifying the journey from automation to autonomy

Achieving autonomous operations isn't about adopting technology for technology's sake. It's about finding the right partner to make it seamless, strategic, and scalable. We bring together deep domain expertise, industry-leading technology, and a best-in-class global partner ecosystem to accelerate time to value and reduce complexity. Our digital consulting team helps define and execute your vision. Our Lifecycle Services keep your systems optimized and teams supported. Our cybersecurity services safeguard your operations.
