Rockwell’s Singapore site has been awarded distinction in the productivity category, marking its evolution into a highly flexible, data-driven manufacturing operation. 

 

The facility has deployed more than 50 digital and AI-enabled solutions, including intelligent automation, AI-driven quality control and predictive maintenance, resulting in improved output efficiency, reduced defects and faster workforce onboarding.

 

“This recognition reflects how Rockwell is applying advanced automation technologies not just within a single site, but in ways that can scale across our global operations and for our customers,” said Bob Buttermore, SVP and chief supply chain officer at Rockwell Automation. 

 

“We are focused on turning data into decisions and AI into outcomes - helping manufacturers build Factories of the Future that are more resilient, adaptive and productive.”

 

The recognition comes as the World Economic Forum highlights a new wave of Lighthouse sites, showcasing how AI is increasingly embedded into core industrial operations. These facilities are demonstrating how data-driven systems are reshaping decision-making, speeding up innovation, and continuously optimizing performance at scale.

 

As part of the Global Lighthouse Network, Rockwell joins a global group of leading manufacturers working to accelerate industrial transformation. The collaboration is designed to share best practices and fast-track the adoption of advanced technologies across sectors and regions.

 

"The world’s leading manufacturers are no longer optimizing individual processes; they are reimagining entire operating systems,” said Kiva Allgood, managing director, World Economic Forum. 

 

“The newest Lighthouse sites show how intelligence is becoming embedded into the fabric of operations, enabling organizations to respond faster, learn continuously and unlock new levels of performance across their value chains.”

 

The recognition underscores Rockwell’s push to move beyond isolated pilot projects toward scaled, enterprise-wide transformation—linking data, automation and AI to deliver measurable business outcomes.
