ControlControlLogix and Rockwell's automation stack will run the Aalo-X critical test reactor, part of a DOE pilot program racing to power AI data centers with modular nuclear plants.
ControlA new platform coordinates material flow and production sequences across the plant, extending Rockwell's cloud-connected control stack.
ControlThe Simatic AX platform adds graphical ladder programming and S7-1200 G2 support, with TIA Portal AI that flags logic errors as you write.
ControlSixteen new Vision Unit Illuminated models fold camera, ring light and liquid lens into one housing to cut wiring and setup time.
ControlRival vendors align on PackAL, a common software library for packaging machines — a rare move toward interoperable motion control.
ControlThe new S8NR IP67 power supply and VHV5-SRV verifier target tougher builds, better diagnostics and inline barcode inspection.
ControlThe new CS/SP series adds real-time sensing, automated airflow management and built-in diagnostics to factory pneumatic control.
ControlYaskawa's drives and motion division spanned machine and motion controllers with built-in PLC functions through a broad catalog of motors.
ControlThe release spans non-invasive sensors, a low-flow flowmeter, a gripper that learns from prosthetics research, and a browser-based DCS expansion.
ControlOne platform integrates sequence, motion and network control for precise, high-speed machines — simplifying architecture for demanding automation.
ControlA three-year, cross-functional effort culminates in independent certification of Yaskawa's information-security management system.
ControlA new Motion PLC, remote I/O system and StepSERVO drive line share one programming platform, with EtherCAT as the common backbone.
ControlPrecision gearing, a brushless motor and an integrated EtherCAT or CANopen drive combine in one housing, cutting the cabling a positioner or gantry axis needs.
