In other words: Who are the real giants behind PLCs, SCADA, robotics, and more? 🤔
For you, we've compiled a list of the 9 most important companies that lead the industry and have left their mark on the development of the automation world. With their founding years and founders, some might surprise you:
🥇 Siemens – 1847, Werner von Siemens
🥈 Rockwell Automation – 1903, Lynde Bradley & Stanton Allen
🥉 ABB – 1988 (merger), roots go back to 1883
🏭 Schneider Electric – 1836, Schneider Brothers
🇯🇵 Mitsubishi Electric – 1921, part of the Mitsubishi Group
🔥 Honeywell – 1906, Mark C. Honeywell

🧠 What's remarkable is this: Most of these companies have been around for over 100 years and are still pioneers of digital transformation!
From classic process control to modern PC-based automation...
If it weren't for these pioneers, today there would be no TIA Portal, no TwinCAT, no EcoStruxure, and no EtherCAT. 💥
👉 So, who is the hidden champion of the automation world for you?
