Rockwell Automation Introduces the LogixEdge Controller: Logix Control and Edge Computing on a Single Industrial PC
Rockwell Automation announced on November 12, 2026, in a PRNewswire release, the launch of its LogixEdge controller, a new industrial control platform designed to help manufacturers simplify system architectures and accelerate software-defined automation. The industrial PC-based controller combines Logix control, edge computing and containerized applications on a single platform, enabling manufacturers to deploy and manage automation and software workloads close to production operations.
The company said that as industrial environments become increasingly connected, manufacturers are looking for ways to bridge operational technology and information technology without adding complexity. LogixEdge controllers enable control and software applications to operate on a common platform, reducing the need for separate hardware while supporting more flexible deployment of automation, visualization and digital applications closer to production processes. Using containerized applications and modern software management practices, manufacturers can deploy, update and manage software more consistently across distributed operations, reducing deployment time and simplifying lifecycle management.
Product manager Stefano Schiavella said industrial automation is evolving from hardware-centric architectures to software-defined systems that are easier to deploy, manage and scale, and that LogixEdge brings Logix control and modern computing capabilities together on a common platform. The company said LogixEdge extends the Logix portfolio and complements existing Logix-based solutions, and will be shown at Automation Fair 2026. Rockwell Automation is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and employed approximately 26,000 people in more than 100 countries as of fiscal year end 2026, according to the release.
