Rockwell Automation

One of the engineering-related things we did was to go visit an American company called Rockwell Automation. They provide technology and services for the manufacturing industry. They also do a lot of software engineering, which is a rapidly growing industry in China. They had no foreign employees, just people who were actually from China, which I found to be impressive for a foreign company. It was cool to see how corporations adapt to do business in different countries and cultures. I asked about additive manufacturing but they don’t do very much work with it. I think that additive manufacturing would be a very important area for Chinese companies to invest in if they want to be more globally competitive, seeing as it really is the cutting edge right now in manufacturing technology.
