Strategic Intelligence: Industrial Automation Sector Scorecard Q3 2024 Update

Companies at the top of the thematic screen of the analyst’s industrial automation sector scorecard all score highly in artificial intelligence (AI). Proficiency in AI typically translates to strength in related themes, such as robotics, digital twins, and smart cities. Siemens, which sits at the top of the thematic rankings, uses AI to drive productivity and enhance its digital twins and robotics products. Nvidia scores a five in the future of work theme as a leading seller of AI chips for enterprise applications. Companies that are leaders in industrial automation are investing heavily in the next generation of AI.

Most companies on the industrial automation scorecard either score negatively or are neutral on the cybersecurity theme. Many companies on this list will work on important public infrastructure and have contracts with government bodies. They also house vast amounts of sensitive client data. This makes them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Failure to invest in cybersecurity will result in significant reputational and financial damage.
