What’s going on at the Rockwell Automation booth?

Booth S2450

At this year’s PACK EXPO, Rockwell Automation will demonstrate how manufacturers can advance their journey to autonomy — regardless of where they are in their digital transformation. Whether you’re modernizing foundation infrastructure, optimizing operations with data-driven insights, or pursuing autonomous production, our team of experts will show how our connected portfolio helps improve productivity, agility, and performance at every stage.

The booth experience is organized around three key areas: modernizing operations, optimizing performance, and enabling autonomous manufacturing. Join us to learn how technologies across control, software, analytics, digital twins, AI, and autonomous production logistics work together to enable the future of manufacturing.

Modernize for smarter, more connected operations

See how Rockwell Automation is expanding its Integrated Architecture® portfolio with next-generation capabilities that provide greater performance, flexibility, and scalability. Learn how OEMs and end users are modernizing production and operational workflows through advanced automation and digital manufacturing solutions.

Transform What's Possible with Digital Twin

Join us for a live session exploring how digital twin technology is transforming what’s possible in modern operations.​

In this fast-paced discussion, we’ll show how you can dramatically reduce risk, accelerate project timelines, and lower costs — all while supporting your workforce and helping prevent burnout.

Through real-world examples, you’ll see how digital twins enable teams to simulate, test, and optimize systems before implementation. This allows you to adapt more easily to changing demands, make faster decisions, and avoid costly disruptions. We’ll also highlight how digital twin technology empowers your workforce — reducing trial-and-error, enabling smarter planning, and giving teams the tools they need to work more efficiently and confidently.

Monday, October 19 - 2:00 p.m. CT

Building the Future of Industrial Operations, Today

As industrial environments grow more complex, organizations are under pressure to move faster, operate smarter, and adapt continuously. In this session, we’ll examine how emerging technologies enable greater autonomy across systems while keeping people at the center of decision-making.

The journey from automation to autonomy requires more than advanced technology — it demands the right combination of innovation, domain expertise, and human insight. Autonomous equipment, intelligent motion, advanced analytics, closed-loop control, and AI all play critical roles. But it’s when these technologies are guided by human oversight and strategic thinking that they deliver the greatest value.

Discover how connected data, intelligent systems, and collaborative innovation are helping organizations improve efficiency, increase resilience, and unlock new levels of productivity — expanding what’s possible for the future of industrial operations.

Tuesday, October 20 - 11:00 a.m. CT

Making Machine Data Work for Your Workforce

Join us for a live session on how to unlock the full potential of machine data — and turn it into a competitive advantage for your workforce.

Machine data is one of the most underutilized assets in industrial operations, yet it holds the key to accelerating digital transformation, improving productivity, and enabling AI-driven outcomes. The challenge? Turning that data into something accessible, actionable, and valuable — without adding complexity.​

In this session, we’ll explore how structured, accessible machine data can be seamlessly shared across systems through DataReady™ solutions — giving both OEMs and end users the flexibility to adapt, innovate, and scale as needs evolve.​ Walk away with practical insight into how making machine data workforce-ready today can help you build more agile, efficient, and resilient operations for the future.

Wednesday, October 21 - 11:00 a.m. CT
