Rockwell Automation Award

Driving Digital Transformation

inControl Systems Secures Prestigious Rockwell Automation Award

The landscape of modern industrial manufacturing is evolving at an unprecedented pace. To stay competitive, plant managers, operations directors, and engineering heads across the UK are constantly seeking ways to modernise legacy setups, enhance operational intelligence, and achieve meaningful sustainability targets. Central to this evolution is the deployment of cutting-edge software platforms that seamlessly bridge the gap between shop-floor hardware and enterprise-level data.

In recognition of our exceptional capacity to deliver these next-generation architectures, inControl Systems is incredibly proud to announce that we have been awarded the ‘System Integrator New Business Enabler Award for Software’ at the 2026 Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork™ Conference EMEA. This prestigious accolade highlights our deep commitment to delivering world-class advanced process automation and robust digital transformation solutions tailored for demanding manufacturing environments.

More Than a Supplier: A Strategic Partner in Advanced Process Automation

For industrial businesses operating in complex sectors like food and beverage, metals processing, and power generation, commissioning an automated framework is rarely a standard transaction. True efficiency is unlocked when a systems integrator acts as a strategic engineering partner rather than a simple hardware supplier. With over 25 years of real-world delivery experience, inControl Systems embeds deep domain expertise directly into our technical deployments.

Our collaborative relationship with Rockwell Automation ensures that our engineering teams remain at the absolute vanguard of industrial software capability. Over the past twelve months, this partnership has allowed us to deliver unique value to our clients, combining market-leading software with tailored application layer development to transform traditional shop-floor control into highly agile, data-driven ecosystems.

Delivering Concrete Outcomes: Efficiency, Reliability, and Sustainability

In the current industrial climate, technology deployments must justify their capital expenditure by delivering clear, measurable returns on investment (ROI). At inControl Systems, our focus remains firmly on solving the core pain points that keep operation managers awake at night: mitigating risk, addressing software obsolescence, and maximizing asset availability.

Our active collaboration with Rockwell Automation over the last year has centered on four critical strategic pillars designed to advance UK industrial manufacturing capabilities:

• Rigorous Product Testing:Validating software stability and performance under extreme simulated environments to guarantee bulletproof, industrial-grade reliability before live commissioning.
• Ecosystem Integration & Software Adoption:Driving collaborative technical discussions within the wider engineering community to lower integration barriers and expand standard platform capabilities.
• Bespoke Application Development:Engineering native applications directly inside the Rockwell platform to address hyper-specific, complex control challenges facing our clients.
• Measurable Sustainability and ROI: Empowering major market leaders—such as 7-Steel and others —to optimise energy usage, reduce waste, and hit strict environmental targets through advanced telemetry and control.

Overcoming Software Obsolescence and Safeguarding the Future

Many processing plants continue to run on legacy control configurations that present a significant threat to continuous production. Legacy software platforms, unpatched visualization systems, and outdated PLC logic create unnecessary vulnerabilities that lead to catastrophic, unplanned downtime. Implementing modern Rockwell Automation software is one of the most effective strategies to secure your operations against these liabilities.

Through our comprehensive Obsolescence, Safety, Software & Reliability (OSSR) Audits, inControl Systems maps out a clear, low-risk migration path for your facility. We integrate advanced process automation with modern SCADA and visualization layers, translating siloed machine data into actionable operational insights. The result is a highly reliable plant environment equipped to scale alongside future production demands.
