As part of the association's 30th anniversary celebration, company profiles indicate consecutive years of membership in the RIA, and acknowledge the members' participation in key industry events. New this year is a quick-reference table, the "User's Guide to Robot Systems Integrators," that presents listings in a grid sorted by application areas.

Another valuable resource provided by RIA is Robotics Online (www. roboticsonline.com). The site's rich content posts constant updates of news, products, feature articles, events, case studies, technical papers and dialog threads on the "Ask the Experts" forum. Robotics Online features an online searchable Buyers Guide with product listings, new products and the latest profiles of RIA supplier members and integrators.
