of harnessing AI and analytics to deliver measurable gains across energy assets in every industry from mining to construction.
Rockwell Automation, meanwhile, is helping to make the extraction of oil and gas as efficient as possible. Its technology is an integral part of the lifecycle of these fuels, from reservoir to refinery.
Its smart systems can also be found all across the global renewables sector, helping to manage feedstocks for biofuels, improve the reliability of solar farms and scale up the production of green hydrogen.
A frictionless future? Perspective is important. Automation will not resolve every challenge facing the energy sector today. The transition to clean energy also necessitates an enormous amount of capital, favourable policy environments and a wholesale re-engineering of national grids.
That said, the tools now available to operators have genuine potential to level up energy systems by reducing risk, cutting costs and boosting efficiency.
The companies investing most heavily in automation in 2026 are building the foundations on which the future of energy will rest.
