Well, this is a new program launched by the RIA (Robotic Industries Association) last month and that was announced at the 2012 Robotics Industry Forum. It is designed to provide certification for integrators establishing them as possessing a certain standard or level of robotic expertise. This information is essential to manufacturers and end users as it helps them in their task of identifying and comparing which integrators they might choose for the development of their prospective project(s), which is not an easy task considering the high number of robot integrators out there. Manufacturers and end users will still have to analyze which companies will be best suited for the project they have in mind, but certification will provide them with an independent verification that the accredited integrators have meet certain standard qualifications. Also since these companies will be listed with RIA, this puts together a database of prospective robotic expertise which can facilitate the tasks of searching for the appropriate integrator.
