Intelligrated, a leading North American-based automated material handling solutions provider, announced that Earl Wohlrab, robotic and palletizing systems product manager, has been elected to the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) board of directors. Wohlrab began his two-year term following the board’s January meeting.
The association welcomed four new directors and renewed the membership of eight sitting directors across supplier, integrator, user, and researcher categories that represent various robotics constituencies. The board selected Wohlrab to the integrator category for his background with robotic systems in dynamic distribution and fulfillment environments, and experience in high-growth markets for robotic applications, including food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods.
“I'm happy to be working with the new and returning board members to plan the strategic direction of our association this year," said Jeff Burnstein, president, RIA. "It's an exciting time for the robotics industry and RIA membership is at a record number. We're looking forward to continuing our mission of educating, promotingand advancing robotics."
