RIA launches certified robot integrator program

Robotic Industries Association (RIA), Ann Arbor, Mich., has launched a certified robot integrator program.

"The idea for certification came to us from the system integrator community," said Jeff Burnstein, president of RIA. "We held focus groups and conducted surveys of integrators to identify ways RIA could provide more value to the integrator community. Integrators explained that a meaningful certification program might help users identify integrators who had the capabilities and experience to meet their needs."

RIA is taking applications from integrators interested in becoming certified. Full details about the program are available at www.robotics.org or by calling RIA headquarters at 734-994-6088.
