Sign InAmid the global race toward industrial digitalization, a new report from Rockwell Automation highlights ambitious goals for AI integration in manufacturing. According to reports, manufacturers expect 54% of their processes to be AI-supported by 2030. However, a significant execution gap remains; 43% of industrial decision-makers admit they are not effectively using the data they collect, and only 23% of firms have fully integrated Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) across their enterprises.
This trend emerges as industry peers like Siemens and Schneider Electric ramp up industrial automation solutions to combat labor shortages and rising costs. Compared to previous industry benchmarks, the report underscores a disconnect between tool adoption and enterprise-wide integration, noting that while 93% of manufacturers utilize MES, full integration remains elusive. Per market data, this digital transition positions Rockwell to capture a larger share of the rapidly expanding manufacturing software market.
Regarding market performance, Rockwell Automation (0KXA.L) closed at $462.47 as of July 13, 2026. Investors are closely monitoring the company's ability to translate these long-term projections into tangible service contracts, especially as the market awaits broader economic catalysts such as the upcoming FOMC minutes, which could influence industrial capital expenditure sentiment.
