Opus Integration Attends Rockwell Automation Fair 2025 in Chicago
Last month, Opus Integration had the incredible opportunity to attend Rockwell Automation Fair 2025 in Chicago — one of the industry’s most anticipated events of the year. The annual Automation Fair brings together thousands of professionals from across the world to explore the latest innovations in industrial automation, digital transformation, and smart manufacturing. For Opus, it was an energizing week filled with collaboration, connection, and inspiration.
Throughout the event, our team met with partners, customers, and peers to discuss the future of automation and the practical steps manufacturers are taking today to build smarter, safer, and more efficient systems. The fair showcased a wide range of technologies — from advancements in control and safety systems to cutting-edge analytics, robotics, and AI-driven production optimization.
One of the highlights of the week was the opportunity to engage directly with Rockwell Automation and its ecosystem of partners. As a Rockwell Recognized System Integrator, Opus takes pride in staying aligned with the latest tools, platforms, and best practices that help our customers succeed. Attending the fair allowed us to dive deeper into new software releases, hardware innovations, and integration capabilities that will continue to strengthen the solutions we deliver.
Beyond the technology, Automation Fair 2025 was a reminder of the power of community within the automation industry. The sessions provided valuable learning opportunities, but the real magic happened in the conversations — whether it was catching up with longtime colleagues or connecting with new faces who share the same passion for advancing industrial automation.
We also appreciated the opportunity to connect with existing customers and explore new partnerships. The fair served as a great platform to share how Opus is helping facilities integrate smarter control systems, implement scalable network architectures, and design safe, compliant automation solutions. It was rewarding to see so much excitement around collaboration and innovation across industries — from food and beverage to life sciences and heavy manufacturing.
A special thank-you goes out to our partners at CED for their outstanding hospitality throughout the week. Their events provided wonderful opportunities to unwind, network, and continue great conversations outside of the show floor. The connections made during these gatherings were invaluable and truly enhanced our experience in Chicago.
As the week wrapped up, we left Chicago energized and inspired by what’s ahead. The Automation Fair continues to be a key event for Opus, not only for keeping up with technology trends but also for strengthening relationships and reaffirming our commitment to helping customers achieve operational excellence.
We’d like to thank Rockwell Automation for hosting another outstanding event — and again, our friends at CED for their hospitality and partnership. If we didn’t get a chance to connect this year, we’d love to continue the conversation — whether it’s exploring a new project, discussing integration challenges, or simply sharing ideas about where the industry is headed.
Until next year’s fair, the Opus team will be hard at work applying the knowledge, tools, and inspiration gained in Chicago to deliver smarter, safer, and more connected automation solutions for our customers.
