0%US industrial automation companies Rockwell Automation, Emerson, and Honeywell Technologies are positioned to benefit as rising interest rates push businesses to cut costs through automation. The Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes have increased borrowing costs and inflation pressures, forcing companies to improve efficiency. Rockwell Automation reported 10% organic sales growth in its fiscal third quarter of 2026, with adjusted earnings up 40%. Strong demand came from semiconductors, data centres, e-commerce, and warehouse automation sectors. Emerson, with a $90 billion market capitalisation, saw underlying sales rise 6% and adjusted earnings increase 13% in the same period. Its semiconductor sales jumped 70% year over year. Honeywell Technologies recently spun off its aerospace business to focus on industrial and building automation. Its stand-alone business achieved 4% organic sales growth, with orders rising 16% and backlog reaching $20 billion. All three companies are trading above their five-year average valuations.
Global automation leader Emerson plans to build a new automation solutions service centre in Qatar's Umm Alhoul Free Zone. The 3,500-square-metre facility will house the region's first certified flow calibration lab and expand Emerson's capabilities across the Middle East and Africa. The centre will offer measurement instrumentation solutions, spare parts distribution, customer training facilities, and distributed control system integration services. Opening in phases, control systems and measurement solutions will launch in December 2026, with the calibration lab following in early 2027. The investment aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030's economic diversification goals. The facility adds to Emerson's existing Middle East presence in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, helping regional customers reduce operational disruptions and accelerate project timelines.
Emerson has acquired Glue Inc., an innovator in AI-enabled validation and test software. The acquisition strengthens Emerson's Test & Measurement capabilities and accelerates development of NI Nigel AI, the industry's first AI optimised for test and measurement workflows. Glue Studio's technology specialises in AI-centric test generation and planning. The platform will be integrated into Nigel, which is embedded within NI software and trained in test system design, methodologies, and data analysis. This integration will enhance Nigel's ability to connect validation workflows and accelerate the path from design to verified performance. "Glue Studio brings highly complementary capabilities that align closely with Emerson's strategy to lead in software-defined test and measurement," said Ritu Favre, group president of Test & Measurement at Emerson.
