Investing in Artificial Intelligence for industrial automation
Rockwell Automation has announced its investment in a Silicon Valley innovation fund and co-creation studio, The Hive, to gain access to an ecosystem of innovators and technology start-ups with a focus on applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to industrial automation.
“Smart manufacturing requires the use of new and disruptive technologies such as AI to create the future industrial plants and supply networks that are flexible, efficient, responsive, and secure. AI can help manufacturers unlock data, contextualise it, and take action,” said Elik Fooks, Senior Vice President for Corporate Development at Rockwell Automation.
“We continue to create partnerships with leading innovators, such as this one with The Hive, to further advance The Connected Enterprise, our vision for realising unprecedented industrial productivity from the integration of plant and enterprise operations.”
“Rockwell Automation’s investment in The Hive will provide it with earlier visibility to AI technology from companies fostered by The Hive’s technology team,” said T.M. Ravi, Managing Director and Co-founder of The Hive. “These include AI-powered applications for the cognitive enterprise, edge intelligence, security, and smart machines.”
The Hive, based in Palo Alto, Calif., identifies new AI-based opportunities with great growth potential, and based on these opportunities co-creates, funds, and launches startups with substantial operational and technology support.
