Conperio named Rockwell Automation’s 2025 Innovation Award Winner.

TERRE HAUTE, IN. – Conperio Technology Solutions is honored to announce that Rockwell Automation, the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, has named it the winner of the Innovation Award during the 2025 PartnerNetwork™ Conference.

The Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork™ Innovation Awards honor organizations that have developed and implemented innovative, transformational solutions through the use of Rockwell and PartnerNetwork™ technologies.

“The SI Innovation Award recognizes the spirit of creativity—a willingness to travel an unexplored path in pursuit of accelerated and exceptional results,” said Don Shoemaker, Vice President Market Access & Territory, at Rockwell Automation. “Conperio has created a Customer Experience Center that allows customers to experience firsthand the transformative power of digital transformation. By connecting the entire information stack to a functioning model factory, Conperio removes the mystery around how these solutions perform. Customers are empowered by workshop challenges on the spot, which leads to outcomes that consistently meet and exceed expectations. It’s a truly innovative approach.”

“We’re incredibly proud to receive the Innovation Award,” said Ron Harrison, President and CEO of Conperio. “At Conperio—whose name fittingly means innovative in Latin—our goal has always been to connect technology with real-world outcomes. Our new Customer Experience Center is a space where manufacturers can see Rockwell Automation solutions come to life and gain hands-on experience solving the exact challenges they face on the plant floor.”

This award specifically recognizes the launch of Conperio’s Customer Experience Center (CEC)—an immersive, hands-on environment designed to help manufacturers explore, test, and implement advanced digital manufacturing solutions. Featuring a full range of Rockwell Automation technologies—including Plex® Smart Manufacturing Platform, FactoryTalk® Energy Manager™, and FactoryTalk® DataMosaix™—the CEC provides real-time demonstrations of automation, analytics, energy management, and OEE optimization in a working model of a connected enterprise.

Through tailored workshops and live demonstrations, manufacturers gain firsthand insight into how these tools can reduce downtime, improve energy efficiency, and simplify complex decisions.
