Salas O’Brien honored with EPC Partner Innovation Award from Rockwell Automation

Salas O’Brien is proud to celebrate two notable milestones in our growing partnership with Rockwell Automation, the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation. These recognitions reflect our continued commitment to helping clients innovate, optimize, and lead: receiving the EPC Partner Innovation Award and being named a Silver-Level PartnerNetwork System Integrator.

Presented at the 2024 Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork™ Conference in Los Angeles, the EPC Partner Innovation Award honors the achievements of organizations that have successfully planned and executed innovative and transformational solutions in one or multiple areas of their business through the application of Rockwell Automation and other partners’ digital and disruptive technologies. Our collaboration with National Carwash Solutions—where we leveraged technology by Rockwell Automation to automate and optimize fill-line operations—stood out for its efficiency gains, scalability, and real-world impact.
