The company serves more than 800 plants across six continents, including facilities in the food and beverage and consumer packaged goods sectors.
Dilip Sawhney, Managing Director of Rockwell Automation India, welcomed the expansion, saying it would create opportunities for closer collaboration in connecting industrial AI insights with maintenance operations.
Sanjeev Gupta, CEO of Karnataka Digital Economy Mission, said the investment reinforced Bengaluru's position as a global engineering and research hub.
