Cision Adds AI Search Visibility to CisionOne, Helping PR Teams Track How Brands Appear in AI Answers

Cision's new AI Visibility Dashboard integrates signals from leading AI platforms – including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude – into a unified media intelligence ecosystem.

CHICAGO, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cision, a global leader in consumer and media intelligence, today announced the launch of AI Visibility Dashboard in its award-winning CisionOne platform, adding LLM monitoring to its comprehensive media intelligence offerings. Powered by data from Trajaan, the industry leader in search intelligence, the new feature enables public relations and communications teams to monitor, analyze, and benchmark how their brands appear across the world's leading AI platforms.

The new dashboard brings AI visibility data into CisionOne alongside media monitoring, social listening and media outreach, giving communications teams a more complete view of how brand reputation is being shaped across traditional and emerging channels.

As audiences increasingly turn to AI tools for research, product recommendations, and daily information, AI-generated responses are becoming an increasingly important part of how brands are discovered and perceived. For today's communications teams, this creates a new visibility challenge: It is no longer enough to understand what is being said in traditional media or social platforms. Teams also need to understand how AI-generated answers represent their brand and their competitors, which sources may be influencing those answers, and which prompts or topics are driving visibility.

"AI platforms are rapidly reshaping how the world consumes information and forms opinions about brands," said Jim Daxner, Chief Product Officer at Cision. "For modern PR and comms teams, understanding your brand's footprint in AI-generated answers is no longer optional. It's essential. By bringing AI visibility data into the same environment as media monitoring and social listening, we are giving professionals the first truly unified view of modern brand reputation."

Turning Disparate Signals Into Actionable Insights

The AI Visibility Dashboard enables users to monitor brand presence across all leading LLMs, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode, and Mistral.

With the AI Visibility Dashboard, communications teams can:

• Monitor how their brand, competitors, and key topics appear across major AI platforms and AI-powered search experiences
• Track visibility over time through customizable dashboards
• Benchmark visibility and share of voice against competitors
• Understand sentiment associated with their brand in AI-generated responses
• Identify the prompts and topics where their brand appears
• See which journalists, publications, and domains are cited in AI-generated answers
• Connect AI visibility with media monitoring, social listening, and outreach activity

Unlike standalone AI tracking tools that add another disconnected dashboard to the workflow, CisionOne integrates AI visibility metrics directly alongside traditional media monitoring, social listening, and media outreach in a single platform. This additional layer gives teams insights they can act on – helping them understand how media coverage, outreach activity, social conversations, and source authority may influence AI-generated responses, while giving them a more holistic way to report on brand visibility and communications impact.

"PR teams cannot protect or grow brand reputation in a vacuum; they need to see how their earned media efforts are actually feeding the algorithms consumers trust," said Amy Jones, Chief Marketing Officer at Cision. "Introducing search intelligence into the PR workflow isn't just about tracking another channel. It's about helping communicators connect the signals between media outreach, traditional coverage, and AI visibility so they can move from data to strategic action more quickly."

The launch reflects Cision's broader strategy to help communications and marketing teams move from disconnected data to connected intelligence. By making Trajaan-powered search intelligence available across the Cision product suite, including CisionOne, Brandwatch, and PR Newswire, Cision is helping teams connect the signals that shape reputation, audience understanding, discovery, and influence. For customers, that means a clearer view of how media coverage, social conversation, search behavior, distribution, and AI generated answers work together to shape brand perception.

The AI Visibility Dashboard is available today for CisionOne users. For more information or to request a demo, visit here.

Cision Adds AI Search Visibility to CisionOne, Helping PR Teams Track How Brands Appear in AI Answers

Manufacturers are moving from MES deployment to enterprise-wide performance, but most are struggling to scale

MILWAUKEE, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today released "Scaling MES Across the Enterprise," an industry insights report based on input from 1,560 manufacturing and industrial operations decision makers across 17 countries. The research finds that despite widespread manufacturing execution system (MES) adoption, scaling it across the enterprise has become the defining challenge for manufacturers seeking to drive performance, integration and long-term value.

Most manufacturers have MES running in at least one facility. However, far fewer have made it work consistently across all sites, due to contributing factors such as disconnected systems, underutilized data and rising operational risk, all of which are limiting the value manufacturers can extract from the investments they have already made.

Key findings from the report include:

• MES adoption is widespread, but scale is lagging: 93% of manufacturers have MES in place, yet only 28% have deployed it enterprise-wide and just 23% report full integration across Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), quality and operational technology (OT) systems.
• Integration is the top priority — and the top obstacle: 44% of manufacturers rank integration as their top MES buying requirement. It also ranks as the leading modernization challenge, with 33% citing MES as their biggest data integration problem.
• AI ambition is outpacing operational readiness: Manufacturers expect 42% of processes to be AI-supported within the next year and 54% by 2030. Yet 43% acknowledge they are not effectively using their collected data — the foundation AI requires to perform.
• Resilience is now a buying requirement: 46% of manufacturers experienced a cyber incident in the past year. Security and compliance now rank as the second-highest MES buying requirement, cited by 43% of respondents.

Real-world manufacturers are scaling with Rockwell's MES technology, such as Kumi North America, a Tier 1 automotive supplier specializing in injection-molded interior plastics and assemblies. The longtime customer initially implemented Plex in 2008 and has since deployed the smart manufacturing software in facilities across the United States and Canada. They most recently expanded their usage to include Plex MES Automation & Orchestration (MES A&O).

"Before Plex, our operations struggled to synch and some locations didn't have any software," shared Paul Andrews, assistant vice president of systems, Kumi North America. "Our Plex infrastructure has grown alongside Kumi's expanding business, and we've continued to leverage Plex technology in new ways."

"MES adoption is no longer the hurdle, but enterprise scale is," said Anthony Murphy, vice president of product management, Rockwell Automation. "Manufacturers may have checked the box by making initial investments in MES technology, but many struggle to gain full value across the enterprise. The impact of a MES has also changed—it's shifted from production tracking to providing insights across a company's full operations, like quality management, worker productivity and supply chain forecasting. Additionally, when connectivity is actualized, there are more opportunities to leverage AI technology. Manufacturers winning the race are not doing more than the rest, they're just doing more together. With an elastic, edge-to-cloud MES like Plex, manufacturers can connect all aspects of production right away and then scale however they want over time."

"Manufacturers have moved past the question of whether to adopt MES and are now confronting the harder challenge of scaling it," said Lorenzo Veronesi, associate research director, IDC. "With integration ranking as both the top buying requirement and the leading modernization challenge, organizations risk leaving significant value on the table if disconnected systems and underutilized data go unaddressed."

The recommended steps to address the incumbent gap between the deployment and scaling of MES are mapped out in the full report, available here.
