“How can we go faster?”
I’ve been asked this question repeatedly as I’ve witnessed our customers turning to disruptive technologies to seize this window to win.
This notion of speed and acceleration as the premium currency is nothing new. The seismic shift in IT to cloud-based operating models — which then brought AI and IIoT capabilities to the edge — proved that speed means being first to unlock new opportunities and create new markets. It means capturing the lion’s share of opportunity and the annual recurring revenue (ARR) that will grow for years.
It means winning. At Rockwell Automation, we’re witnessing that moment in the manufacturing industry, where our customers are in their own race to differentiate and to win. And increasingly — as demonstrated by our most recent earnings results — they’re turning to us to help them.
From EV companies relentless to get to market, to oil and gas customers accelerating clean energy programs, to biotechs in the high-stakes race to deliver next-generation therapeutics to patients, our customers are asking us to help them produce world-changing outcomes, and fast.
These companies are recognizing the “power of the and” — the breadth of the Rockwell Automation portfolio can unlock their business value faster, and with minimized risk.
And they believe our collective technical and industry experts are advisors and practitioners that will guide them there. While our product and capabilities are resonating, our people are our unfair competitive advantage for customers. That’s where the rich legacy of the Rockwell Automation and partner ecosystem continues.
In the Americas, we’re obsessed with creating a winning customer experience — one grounded in the distinct needs of each industry, led by our experts, and digitized with modern processes and systems to meet our customers where they are.
Thank you for running this race by our side. We’re making a market — and a movement! — together.
With gratitude,
