Rockwell Automation, the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, and Microsoft., a leading global technology company, are proud to announce an expanded strategic collaboration aimed at revolutionizing industrial transformation.

Together, the companies will provide manufacturing customers with advanced cloud and AI solutions that deliver powerful data insights, streamline operations and enhance scalability – driving operational efficiency and sustainable growth across the industry.
