At Automation World 2026, Rockwell Automation will unveil an autonomous production system that applies artificial intelligence (AI) to the entire manufacturing process. The company plans to present an industrial operations strategy centered on an AI-based manufacturing model that encompasses the entire lifecycle, from design to operation and maintenance.

On February 24, Rockwell Automation announced that it will participate in the '2026 Smart Factory & Automation Industry Exhibition (Automation World 2026)' held at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul from March 4 to 6.

The Smart Factory & Automation Industry Exhibition is an industrial exhibition celebrating its 37th anniversary this year. This year's event, under the slogan "Autonomy, the Power to Drive Sustainability," will share smart manufacturing technologies and application cases.

Rockwell Automation presents an AI-embedded manufacturing environment under the theme of "Creating the Future of Industrial Operations." The booth is divided into five zones: △AI-Powered Design △AI-Powered Operations △AI-Powered Maintenance △Innovation △Industry.

The AI-Powered Design zone showcases simulation and emulation-based design environments through Emulate3D™, FactoryTalk® Logix Echo, and FactoryTalk® Design Studio™. The AI-Powered Operations zone presents integrated models for production planning, processes, and resource operations through FactoryTalk® DataMosaix™, FactoryTalk® Analytics™ VisionAI™, Plex MES, OTTO AMR, Unified Robot Control, and Smart Process.

The AI-Powered Maintenance zone will showcase predictive maintenance strategies leveraging FactoryTalk® Analytics™ LogixAI® and GuardianAI™. The Innovation zone will showcase EtherNet/IP™ in-Cabinet Solutions, ControlLogix® 5590 PLCs, PointMax™ I/O, and SecureOT™, while the Industry zone will showcase application cases in the Automotive, EV, Life Science, and Chemical sectors.

Guided booth tours will be held daily at 2:00 PM during the exhibition period, and technical explanations will be provided through on-booth seminars. On March 5th, a "Digital Engineering Seminar" will be held for OEMs to share equipment application examples. One-on-one consulting is also available within the booth.

“The manufacturing industry is moving beyond automation to a stage where AI judges and optimizes overall operations,” said Lee Yong-ha, CEO of Rockwell Automation Korea, expressing his commitment to expanding AI-based production systems.

The Rockwell Automation booth is located in Hall C, C460, on the third floor of COEX. Details on the program and consultation application can be found on the official website.
