Rockwell Automation, Inc., whose origins date back to the early 1900s, emerged as the successor to Rockwell International after the 2001 spinoff of its avionics business. The company is a pure-play industrial automation provider organized into three operating segments. Its largest revenue contributor, Intelligent Devices, supplies factory-floor products including motors, drives, sensors, relays, and actuators. The Software & Control segment offers visualization, simulation, and human-machine interface software, along with control products such as programmable controllers, computers, and operator terminals. Its smallest segment, Lifecycle Services, provides digital consulting, engineered-to-order solutions, and outsourced services including remote monitoring, cybersecurity, and asset and plant maintenance and optimization.
