JMP Engineering Becomes RIA Certified Robot Integrator

POSTED 04/21/2015

Ann Arbor, MI – JMP Engineering has received the RIA Certified Robot Integrator designation. In order to become certified, JMP Engineering completed a rigorous process which includes an on-site audit and testing of key personnel among other important criteria.

“We are pleased that JMP Engineering has joined our growing list of RIA Certified Robot Integrators,” 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.”

“We are thrilled to be amongst the very best certified system integrators,” states Ken McLaughlin, General Manager, JMP Automation Inc. “Our certification is a testament to the effort we have made and continue to make to consistently be at the top of our game and a leader in our field.”

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. Integrators interested in becoming certified can contact Jeff Burnstein at 734/994-6088.

“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 over 70 system integrator members and look forward to having more of them go through the certification process in the near future.”
