Robotic Industries Association (RIA) today announced that Applied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) has received the RIA Certified Robot Integrator designation. In order to become certified, AMT completed a rigorous process which includes an on-site audit and testing of key personnel among other important criteria.
“We are delighted to welcome AMT as our eighteenth Certified Robot Integrator,” said Jeff Burnstein, president of RIA. “The Certified Robot Integrator program strengthens the overall integrator channel and allows integrators to benchmark their own processes against best industry practices. Based on industry feedback, we have found that achieving certification has proven to be valuable for integrators looking to showcase their capabilities to both users and suppliers.”
“AMT is proud to have earned the status of RIA Certified Integrator,” said Michael Jacobs, founder and CEO of AMT. ““Since 1989, our engineers have helped design and deploy over 25,000 robot systems worldwide. We bring all of this experience to bear on our automation projects. Specializing in applying advanced technologies, our unique business model makes us the perfect automation partner whether the need is a full turnkey, highly engineered solution or a single engineer to troubleshoot and fix a specific problem. AMT is committed to maintaining the high standards required in attaining this certification.”
RIA requires each certified integrator to be recertified every two years. Detailed information on the certification program and the certified robot integrators can be found on a special section of Robotics Online.
“Robotics customers, of course, still need to conduct their own due diligence on the suppliers they select,” said Burnstein. “RIA cannot guarantee the work of any integrator or recommend which integrators to choose. We have more than 60 system integrator members and look forward to having more of them go through the certification process in the near future.”
