Competition is intensifying between IT companies and operational technology (OT) specialists as manufacturers push digitalisation, with each side expanding into the other’s territory. Rockwell Automation, known for industrial automation solutions such as PLCs, is accelerating efforts to internalise digital capabilities rather than outsource them. A Rockwell Automation Korea executive said manufacturing digitisation requires deep OT understanding to be effective and to reduce risks. The company’s strategy focuses on digital twins, data analytics, AI and OT security.
