Cranswick produces millions of “pigs-in-blankets” for the Christmas market each year, and the final stage of picking sausages from the conveyor belt and placing them into packaging was still handled manually. Cranswick commissioned CWM Automation to design and deliver a fully automated system, allowing those employees to move to more skilled tasks.

On June 16, DA Davidson analyst Chris Dankert initiated coverage of Rockwell Automation with a Neutral rating and $500 price target.

DA Davidson also said the shares are already priced in positive estimate revisions, with valuation elevated relative to history and peers.
