Release integrates more motor control components, improves diagnostics and simplifies control panel design
MILWAUKEE, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced new capabilities of its EtherNet/IP™ In-cabinet Solution, expanding support for additional motor control and protection devices. The update enables manufacturers to connect more components inside the control panel, simplify wiring and gain deeper diagnostic insight, without redesigning their existing architecture.
As manufacturers work to increase productivity and reduce downtime, they often face challenges related to limited data access and complex panel installations. The EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution addresses these issues by streamlining communication between devices inside the panel, improving real-time data availability and making it easier to install, scale and maintain motor control systems over time.
The expanded release adds a supplemental power tap and extends EtherNet/IP connectivity to additional motor control components, including 140ME Motor Protective Switching Devices and E100 Electronic Overload Relays through a 100-E Contactor communication module. These enhancements help manufacturers build smarter, more connected control panels while improving diagnostics and overall system visibility.
"The EtherNet/IP In‑cabinet Solution continues to transform how customers design and deploy control panels," said Kelly Passineau, product manager at Rockwell Automation. "With the addition of a supplemental power tap and connections for additional panel components, we're giving them even more ways to reduce installation time, improve diagnostics and build intelligent, data- driven systems with less complexity."
Key benefits of this new release include:
- Supplemental power tap: Helps maintain stable performance as device counts increase, reducing the need for oversized power supplies or additional interposing relays and enabling scalable motor control architectures.
- Expanded smart motor control capabilities: Extends EtherNet/IP communication to 140ME Motor Protective Switching Devices and E100 Electronic Overload Relays using a 100-E Contactor communication module.
- Faster installation: In certain case studies, EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution has been shown to reduce wiring time by up to 80% compared to traditional hard-wired installations when implemented according to recommended standards.
- Optimized space: Compact components allow more devices to fit within the same footprint, helping reduce overall panel size.
- Improved data access: Real-time communication between devices boosts productivity and supports smarter decision making. With expanded connectivity across more components, users gain access to more data and meaningful insights.
- Scalability: Easily adapts to future networking needs without major redesigns or infrastructure changes.
"The EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution isn't just a product—it's a growing portfolio designed to evolve alongside your system," said Jimmy Alvarez, director of Portfolio and Business Management at Rockwell Automation. "This release is the next step on our roadmap that includes expanding support for additional panel components, deeper data access and richer diagnostic capabilities that enhance visibility and performance over time. As your operational needs change, the solution is built to scale with you, offering a flexible, long-term path toward smarter, connected in-cabinet architectures."

Empowering the world's largest computer vision ecosystem with a unified, one-click NPU hardware standard for building the next generation of real-world AI applications.
SEOUL, South Korea, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DEEPX, a leading fabless AI semiconductor company specializing in ultra-low-power Neural Processing Units (NPUs), today announced a visionary partnership with Ultralytics, the company behind Ultralytics YOLO, the most widely deployed computer vision architecture in the world, with over 130K GitHub stars.
Ultralytics has evolved far beyond a traditional AI model creator to become the definitive developer platform connecting the global vision AI ecosystem. Ultralytics YOLO (You Only Look Once) models and Ultralytics Platform have firmly established themselves as the de facto standard across diverse physical applications—from industrial cameras and robotics to autonomous driving and smart city infrastructure. With over 16.6 million monthly downloads and a single environment to build computer vision projects, they serve as the ultimate gateway for global AI deployment, acting as the core development environment for countless global enterprises and engineers building real-world AI products and services.
This partnership is not merely a technical integration; it is a strategic move to establish a unified global standard for Physical AI. By embedding DEEPX's NPU hardware and software toolchain directly into the heart of the Ultralytics ecosystem, the two companies are providing millions of global developers with the definitive platform to bring AI out of the cloud and into the physical world.
Physical AI demands high-performance, ultra-energy-efficient computing that can operate autonomously in robots, industrial machinery, and smart vehicles. The Ultralytics YOLO community represents the front line of this revolution, building the "eyes" of these real-world systems. Through this partnership, DEEPX positions its mass-produced DX-M1 NPU as the foundational "brain" for these applications, removing all barriers to entry for edge deployment.
"This alliance is about setting the de facto standard for Physical AI," said Lokwon Kim, CEO of DEEPX. "The YOLO community is home to the most innovative computer vision developers on the planet. By making DEEPX a native, frictionless export target within the Ultralytics ecosystem, we are not just offering hardware—we are defining the new global blueprint for how real-world intelligent systems are built and scaled."
Setting the Standard for Physical AI: Partnership Highlights
- Establishing the 'format=deepx' Standard: DEEPX is now deeply woven into the fabric of the Ultralytics Python package (With over 16.6 million monthly downloads). Developers can now deploy the industry's most advanced computer vision models to DEEPX hardware simply by using format=deepx, standardizing the edge deployment process.
- Unifying the Vision AI Ecosystem: Ultralytics now features an automated, production-ready pipeline tailored for DEEPX's SDK. This includes zero-friction model quantization and validation, bridging the gap between software development and hardware execution.
- A Future-Proof AI Foundation: To ensure DEEPX remains the industry benchmark, a dedicated CI/CD pipeline guarantees continuous, out-of-the-box compatibility with every new Ultralytics update and AI model evolution.
- Accelerating Global Adoption: The partnership will drive joint initiatives—including technical webinars, co-branded campaigns, and open-source community building—to educate and empower the global Ultralytics YOLO developer base to build the future of Physical AI on DEEPX architecture.
"Ultralytics is committed to democratizing AI by building state-of-the-art vision AI models that run flawlessly on the most efficient edge architectures," said Glenn Jocher, CEO of Ultralytics. "Partnering with DEEPX allows our massive developer community to seamlessly translate our Ultralytics YOLO models into powerful, low-power Physical AI solutions. Together, we are shaping how vision AI interacts with the physical world."
