Laminar Joins Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork
The Boston-based company will work with Rockwell to optimize cleaning and product changeover processes in industrial manufacturing.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Robotics
Laminar, which creates Process-Aware Autonomy, has joined the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork as a Technology Partner. The companies will collaborate to optimize Clean-in-Place and product changeover processes.
Why it matters
The partnership pairs Laminar's real-time fluid intelligence with Rockwell's industrial control systems, offering manufacturers a way to make AI-based process decisions. Both companies frame productivity and sustainability as goals that can be advanced through the same operational improvements.
Laminar combines patented, inline spectral sensors with process-aware machine learning models that identify fluid conditions and transitions in real time. The announcement does not disclose performance metrics for the sensors or the models, and how the integration will be measured remains unstated.
The players
Rockwell Automation
Rockwell Automation is an industrial automation company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that operates in more than 100 countries and employs approximately 26,000 people.
Laminar
Laminar is a company that develops Process-Aware Autonomy, combining patented inline spectral sensors with process-aware machine learning models for industrial manufacturers.
The details
Laminar's intelligence will be connected with industrial control systems to support AI-based process decisions, replacing recipes and fixed timers in Clean-in-Place and changeover operations. The companies will also explore how process-state and cycle information may support broader manufacturing optimization.

The Tech Race
The partnership places Laminar's inline sensing and machine learning inside the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork, a channel through which industrial control vendors bring third-party software into factory systems. It positions Laminar's process-aware AI alongside Rockwell's control platforms as manufacturers look to replace fixed recipes and timers with data-driven decisions.
For manufacturers running Rockwell Automation equipment, the partnership creates a path to integrate Laminar's sensing and AI into Clean-in-Place and changeover operations. The announcement does not state pricing, availability dates, or how existing customers would access the integration.
The takeaway
Manufacturers looking to cut cleaning time and waste may find that process-aware sensing paired with existing control systems offers a practical route to shorter, validated production cycles.
