Rockwell Automation (ROK) to Expand Collaboration With NVIDIA
Read MoreHide Full Article
Rockwell Automation Inc. (ROK - Free Report) announced that it is expanding its collaborations with NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) to accelerate the development of safer and smarter industrial AI mobile robots in manufacturing. This move will help customers improve performance and efficiency.
Previously, in March 2024, the companies collaborated to accelerate a next-generation industrial architecture. ROK intends to transform the industry by designing the factory of the future, making it easier for automation customers to digitize industrial processes.
ROK plans on integrating NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud APIs with its Emulate3D digital twin application. This will enable factory analysis, including operations and simulation, to be quicker and more predictive than ever.
As part of this partnership, NVIDIA joined the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork, allowing customers to use their applications to improve resilience, agility and sustainability. The companies will benefit from Rockwell's industrial AI expertise and NVIDIA's AI and robotics capabilities, which will fuel an exciting new generation of autonomous mobile robots.
Rockwell Automation is poised well to benefit from broadening its portfolio of hardware and software products, solutions, and services. It is also gaining traction from investments in the cloud.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.50 in second-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended Mar 31, 2024), surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.15. The bottom line declined 17% year over year, primarily attributed to lower sales volume and operating margins in the Intelligent Devices and Software & Control segments. The improved performance of the Lifecycle Services segment somewhat offset this.
Total revenues were $2.13 billion, down 6.6% from the prior-year quarter’s levels. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.04 billion.
Price Performance
In the past year, Rockwell Automation’s shares have dropped 11.7% compared with the industry’s 13.2% decline.
