ROKLive Jakarta 2026
With the theme, Create What’s Next, Rockwell Automation hosted ROKLive Jakarta 2026 in the Indonesian capital on April 22. As the company’s flagship event for customers and partners in the country, ROKLive Jakarta brought together industry leaders and technology experts to explore how emerging technologies are improving productivity and sustainability across increasingly complex industrial environments.
Perhaps not surprisingly, this year’s edition placed particular emphasis on AI as well as digitalization, advanced analytics, and sustainability, to reflect the priorities of manufacturers as they respond to operational complexity, workforce dynamics, and the need for greater efficiency.
Indonesia is one of the strongest markets for Rockwell Automation in Southeast Asia, with companies in the region’s largest economy increasingly looking to automation and digital technologies to address such challenges.
The close to 400 industry professionals at this year’s ROKLive Jakarta hailed from across Indonesia’s industrial sectors, including food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, oil and gas, mining, chemicals, data centers, and energy, reflecting the growing demand for advanced solutions across the country’s industrial landscape.
Technologies Shaping the Future
In his keynote presentation, Scott Wooldridge, Regional Vice President, Asia Pacific, Rockwell Automation, shared insights on how emerging technologies are shaping the future of industrial operations and enabling organizations to build more connected, intelligent, and adaptive manufacturing environments. The presentation reflected broader trends across manufacturing, where companies are increasingly looking to technology to improve agility, visibility, and long-term performance.
The event also featured special guest Emmy Suryandari, Head of Industrial Services Standardization and Policy Agency, Ministry of Industry Indonesia, who addressed the future of Indonesia’s manufacturing sector and the role of technology and innovation in accelerating industrial transformation.
The country’s manufacturing sector is a key contributor to economic growth and plays a central role in the government’s Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap, which aims to accelerate digital transformation and technological adoption across priority industries.
