RS Automation Signs Supply Contract for Next-Generation Smart Motion Controllers with US Rockwell

Successful In-House Development of Next-Generation Smart Motion Controller Single Item Supply
Accelerating Global Business Expansion by Strengthening Partnerships with Leading Companies

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] RS Automation, a specialist in robot motion control, announced on the 25th that it has signed a supply contract worth 63 billion KRW for next-generation smart motion controllers with Rockwell Automation, the largest automation supplier in the United States. This contract represents the single largest export deal by a domestic robot motion control company, with a contract period of five years.

A company representative introduced the deal as "a contract for manufacturing and supplying after successfully developing independently a single product of next-generation smart motion controllers." They added, "In particular, as the first next-generation motion control device in Korea equipped with cybersecurity features, our goal is to achieve the number one global market share," and stated, "A remarkable increase in sales is expected going forward."

RS Automation is placing great expectations on the increased demand for core smart factory components from the Biden administration in the United States, which is strongly driving manufacturing reshoring amid deteriorating US-China relations. Amid unstable conditions such as the Ukraine crisis and cyberterrorism occurring worldwide, the company anticipates that cyber certification with embedded security functions will become essential for all future products.

RS Automation forecasts that the next-generation smart motion controllers will be used not only in the smart factory sector of industrial sites but also as control devices for human life and safety wherever robots are needed, including various industrial infrastructures and places like Disneyland and Universal Studios.

Kang Deokhyun, CEO of RS Automation, emphasized, "This large-scale contract with Rockwell Automation is proof of RS Automation's core competencies, possessing exclusive technology and quality in the field of robot motion control." He added, "We will further accelerate global business expansion by strengthening partnerships with leading companies."
