How Industrial Automation Is Accelerating Economic Growth in Africa

See how Rockwell Automation and PIMA Africa Distribution are helping African industries grow with smart, safe, and scalable automation systems.

Across Africa, industries are expanding quickly. Yet many plants still deal with slow processes, manual operations, and higher operating costs. These issues limit output and make it difficult to compete globally. As demand grows, companies need automation systems that support speed, safety, and long-term growth.

This is where Rockwell Automation, supported by PIMA Africa Distribution, helps plants move from manual work to modern, connected, and scalable automation.

Why Africa Needs Smarter Industrial Automation

Africa’s industrial expansion spans food and beverage, pharma, energy, mining, and manufacturing. Each sector requires steady control, real-time visibility, and smooth production. Automation supports industries by offering:
  • Higher output with fewer mistakes
  • Steady production cycles
  • Safer working conditions
  • Maintenance schedules that help avoid breakdowns
  • Easy machine and energy tracking
These advantages help African companies grow faster and compete internationally.

How Automation Drives Economic Growth in Africa

Faster Production and Higher Output

Automated plants run longer with far fewer interruptions, helping industries support exports and job creation.

Stronger Quality Control

Automation cuts manual errors and keeps product quality uniform, helping meet global standards.

Better Energy Use

Rockwell Automation drives and control systems help plants cut unnecessary energy use, lowering operational costs.

Safer Workspaces

Automation reduces risks linked to heavy machinery and manual work. Rockwell safety tools help avoid accidents.

Growth of Technical Jobs

Automation introduces new roles in system monitoring, machine programming, data tracking, and maintenance, supporting Africa’s industrial workforce.

Rockwell Automation: A Trusted Technology for African Industries

African companies choose Rockwell Automation because it delivers strong, secure, and scalable systems for both small facilities and large factories. Rockwell Automation provides:
  • Smart controllers
  • Safe motion systems
  • SCADA and MES platforms
  • Variable frequency drives
