Rockwell Automation’s Singapore manufacturing facility has been named a member of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Lighthouse Network, highlighting its advanced manufacturing capabilities. This accolade acknowledges the site’s successful implementation of over 50 digital and AI-enabled solutions, including intelligent automation and predictive maintenance, which have significantly enhanced productivity, quality, and workforce enablement.
The recognition underscores Rockwell’s commitment to scaling AI-driven transformation across its global operations. Bob Buttermore, senior vice president and chief supply chain officer at Rockwell Automation, stated, “We are focused on turning data into decisions and AI into outcomes—helping manufacturers build Factories of the Future that are more resilient, adaptive, and productive.”
The WEF’s Global Lighthouse Network connects leading manufacturers who are pioneering industrial transformation. By joining this network, Rockwell Automation will collaborate with other industry leaders to share best practices and accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies across various sectors and regions.
Kiva Allgood, managing director at the World Economic Forum, noted, “The newest Lighthouse sites show how intelligence is becoming embedded into the fabric of operations, enabling organisations to respond faster, learn continuously, and unlock new levels of performance across their value chains.”
This recognition not only highlights Rockwell’s innovative use of technology but also reinforces its role in advancing global industrial transformation, moving beyond pilot programmes to achieve scalable, measurable business outcomes.
