EPLAN Canada is pleased to announce Ridgetech Automation Inc. as the first company to have completed its evaluation and become an Eplan Certified Systems Integrator. RidgeTech Automation specializes in control systems integration, with the aim of providing the highest quality in trusted and reliable automation solutions.

RidgeTech Automation has been approved as a Level 2 – EPLAN Advanced Partner in the EPLAN Certified Systems Integrators Program. This means that the company demonstrates an understanding of how to benefit from the production of a ‘digital twin‘ using EPLAN ProPanel and relies on the Rittal Mod Center to further streamline its production.

In addition to the certification from EPLAN, RidgeTech is also certified through Rittal’s own Systems Integrator Program. This underlines the efforts put in place by the company to adopt the industry’s best practices in industrial automation and the success it has found in doing so.

Officially launched in May 2021, the EPLAN Certified Systems Integrator Program is designed to assess the proficiency of a company using the EPLAN platform. Systems Integrators aspiring to be certified are surveyed, tested and classified in accordance to their proficiency level. Systems integrators can reach maximum efficiency by taking advantage of the software and service solutions provided by EPLAN in the fields of electrical, automation and mechatronic engineering.

Since launch, several companies have reached out to qualify for certification. Stay tuned as more partners are expected to be announced in the coming days, after they complete the auditing process and receive their official certification.
