Rockwell Automation Unveils AI Control at WEFTEC 2025

Rockwell Automation will present its latest advancements for the water sector at WEFTEC 2025, held in Chicago from September 27–October 1. The company will showcase intelligent control and cybersecurity technologies designed to improve efficiency, resilience and cost management in water treatment operations. Demonstrations will feature the Allen Bradley CompactLogix 5480 controller, enabling real time flow monitoring and automated process adjustments.

The solutions combine artificial intelligence, machine learning and a unified control platform to deliver integrated visibility across process, power and motor systems. A desalination process control solution standard, built on the PlantPAx® platform, will also be highlighted. This platform incorporates pre built libraries for seawater and brine water reverse osmosis, aiming to streamline programming and reduce project complexity. Full details of the exhibition are available on Rockwell Automation’s website.

“We are dedicated to enabling the water industry with control technologies that simplify operations while enhancing efficiency. By integrating machine learning directly into our process control platform, and protecting it with layered OT cybersecurity, and connecting it with power distribution and motor control intelligence, we are helping utilities reduce energy use and chemical consumption without compromising quality or reliability.” said Brian Holte, Vice President of Global Industry at Rockwell Automation.
