OMRON welcomes RBE Automation to its ASI program

RBE Automation has earned a reputation across New Zealand as a supplier of high-quality automation and safety solutions for industrial machines and plant.

Based in Hawkes Bay, but with a global reach, RBE Automation services a broad range of industries delivering end-to-end solutions.

RBE offers engineering design services as well as electrical support and ongoing care and maintenance of industrial plants and factories. From large processor plants to small self-contained machines, the RBE team boast extensive experience and engineering expertise.

RBE director and founder Rob Elstone and his expert team only choose suppliers that can deliver products of the highest standard. For several years, the RBE team has had a close association with OMRON as a supplier of state-of-the-art automation and vision equipment.

The two companies recently collaborated at Techweek in Napier, NZ. At the event, OMRON showcased some of its latest technology including the heavyweight HD1500 mobile robot and its eCobra800 Scara robot.

How end users will benefit

And earlier this month, they strengthened the partnership after joining OMRON’s rapidly growing Accredited System Integrator Program.

Through its Accredited System Integrator Program, OMRON partners with approved system integrators across Australia and New Zealand, who design and install OMRON Electronics’ products into end users’ facilities and OEMs machinery providers.

“Both of our companies will benefit under this new agreement,” says Lyndon Fowler. OMRON NZ manager. “And end users can expect even greater support and service.”

Under the agreement, OMRON provides extensive training for its ASI partners to keep them at the forefront of the latest innovation and technology.

“We welcome RBE Automation and Electrical to the ASI program,” said Mr Fowler. “We look forward to working closely with Rob Elstone and his highly talented team.”
