Industrial provider Rockwell Automation this week announced it is teaming up with CAD-IT, a Singapore-based systems integrator focused on Industry 4.0 technologies. CAD-IT is now part of Rockwell Automation’s PartnerNetwork and was brought on to support the increasing demand for industrial automation in Southeast Asia.
“Southeast Asia is one of the fastest growing sub-regions for us. We are very pleased to partner with CAD-IT who is well-versed in the region,” said Marcelo Tarkieltaub, regional director for Southeast Asia Rockwell Automation.
“By combining our technologies and expertise with their strong regional network and execution competency, we can make smart manufacturing and digital transformation solutions more accessible to businesses in Southeast Asia,” Tarkieltaub added.

Asia Pacific is a hot automation market
The region's industrial automation and process control market is expected to be worth $4.97 billion by 2025.
This demand is driven by high technical awareness around the usage of robotics and the manufacturing sector's robust production capabilities, according to the companies.
Additionally, the demand for Industry 4.0 solutions is on the rise. According to Mordor Intelligence, Asia's Industry 4.0 market is expected to reach $71.59 billion by 2026.
