Rockwell Automation, the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation, makes its customers more productive and the world more sustainable. Throughout the world, our flagship Allen-Bradley® and Rockwell Software® product brands are recognised for innovation and excellence.

SMART, SAFE, SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
A more productive and sustainable world is a world with a higher standard of living and quality of life for everyone. At Rockwell Automation, our resources are squarely focused on turning this aspiration into a reality. Through the power of industrial automation technology, we develop innovative solutions that help our customers achieve smart, safe, sustainable operations in a range of industries worldwide.

To achieve success, Rockwell Automation long ago recognised the importance of connecting independent automation systems in manufacturing environments. In fact, our vision of 'The Connected Enterprise' has guided the development of our integrated control and information technology (IT) for decades. Now, with the convergence of plant-floor operations technology and business-level information technology, the vision of The Connected Enterprise has become a reality.

The Connected Enterprise links production lines, in-the-field assets, utilities and enterprise IT to deliver contextualised information where it is needed. As a result, companies can make better decisions faster – and achieve a new level of operational intelligence to improve productivity and global competitiveness.

Built on a secure, standard Ethernet infrastructure, The Connected Enterprise is enabled by our integrated control and information portfolio. Our broad, information-enabled portfolio includes Integrated Architecture®, Intelligent Motor Control, and Solutions and Services.

Together with our partners, Rockwell Automation will build on our strong foundation of innovation – and leverage the Internet of Things and other contemporary and proven technologies that promise to enhance The Connected Enterprise vision.
