Rockwell Automation’s 9th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing

July 24, 2024

Rockwell Automation has released its 9th annual State of Smart Manufacturing research report, which can help you to benchmark your technology usage, explore best practices and uncover the trends of 2024.

Get the highlights:

The GenAI Revolution – Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) rocketed up the technology priority list over the last twelve months, creating fierce demand for industrial applications embedded with this transformative technology.

Empowering Workforce – Looking to supplement and amplify the workforce, cobots, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and wearables all ranked prominently in new areas for technology investment in 2024.

Combating Cyber Threats – The lines between OT and IT continue to blur, increasing the connectivity between digital and physical operations. This elevates the need for cybersecurity awareness and action to mitigate the risk of a breach or attack.

Hear from manufacturers across the globe

Manufacturers are harnessing emergent technology to maximize workforce potential, reduce risk, increase quality, and deliver sustainable growth.

  • 95% are using or evaluating smart manufacturing technology
  • ROI Cloud / SaaS topped the list for technology that drives the greatest ROI
  • 98% have a sustainability / ESG policy in place
  • GenAI was #1 in the top 10 new investment areas over the next 12 months

“We are pleased to share these results with you and hope that this global benchmark report provides a guide for successful decision making throughout 2024.”

Blake Moret – CEO of Rockwell Automation
