Milwaukee-based Rockwell Automation Inc. is buying Incuity Software Inc., a Mission Viejo maker of manufacturing software.
Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Incuity is a venture capital-backed company that started in 2004. Investors include the Irvine office of Santa Monica-based Palomar Ventures Management LLC.
The company provides software that gives information about manufacturing to plant operators and executives.
The software is designed to help manage production efficiency, procurement, scheduling, shipping and other tasks.
Incuity’s founders earlier started a manufacturing company that was sold to Irvine’s Wonderware Corp., now part of Britain’s Invensys PLC.
Doug Lawson heads the company as chief executive.
Incuity’s management team and employees are set to become part of Rockwell Automation’s architecture and software operating segment.
Rockwell Automation is a successor business to Rockwell International Corp., the onetime defense contractor based in Orange County.
