Emerson has been honored as the ‘2026 Industrial IoT Company of the Year’ by the IoT Breakthrough Awards, marking the seventh time the company has received top recognition from this program. The award, now in its 10th year, evaluated over 4,000 nominations from global IoT vendors and acknowledged Emerson’s leadership in delivering an end-to-end industrial IoT technology stack. Investors will note that this accolade underscores Emerson’s competitive positioning in mission-critical automation markets, including energy, liquefied natural gas, power, life sciences, chemical, aerospace and semiconductors.

Following its 2025 acquisition of Aspen Technology, Emerson has completed its evolution into a global automation leader with a unified portfolio of intelligent field devices, secure control systems and enterprise optimization software. According to CEO Lal Karsanbhai, the company’s software-defined, data-centric automation platform targets high-growth themes—digital transformation, electrification, energy security and near-shoring—to accelerate adoption of AI-driven optimization and pave the way for autonomous operations. This strategic pivot is expected to drive double-digit software revenue growth and expand recurring services, enhancing margin profile and supporting long-term shareholder returns.
