Sept. 24, 2012 (Indianapolis, IN) – In the world of industrial controls, Rockwell Automation is one of the global leaders. This is just one of the reasons the controls division at Bastian Solutions was proud to announce its new status as a Rockwell Automation Machine Builder Partner.
Only a small percentage of companies in the Rockwell Automation OEM Program achieve Partner-level status, due to stringent requirements. Those that do, receive numerous benefits for both employees and customers including:
- access to experienced and knowledgeable Rockwell Automation engineers
- training opportunities for employees and customers
- significant savings on hardware and software that are passed on to customers
- marketing opportunities to help expand brand awareness
"The best part of this partnership is it allows us to supply our customers with high quality products at great prices," said Ron Daggett, controls manager at Bastian Solutions. "The ease in which Rockwell Software and Allen-Bradley hardware products from Rockwell Automation integrate also makes the installation process much easier for our employees, so this partnership is truly a win-win for all."
To qualify as a Machine Builder Partner, a company is evaluated on the use of Rockwell Automation content across their portfolio of machines and also their business relationship with Rockwell Automation. Once those criteria are met, the company must then go through a multilevel approval process by Rockwell Automation.
