What it does

Rockwell Automation, based in Milwaukee, makes the controllers, drives, motion systems, software and mobile robots that run factory production lines, and sells related services.

Why it matters

It supplies the control systems that automated factories, warehouses and semiconductor and data center supply chains run on, and it uses NVIDIA simulation and robotics software in its products; AI is a growing feature rather than its main revenue driver.

How it makes money

Manufacturers and other industrial companies pay it for automation hardware (controllers, drives, sensors, robots), industrial software and lifecycle services.

Geography

United States (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

AI stack position
