Laminar joins Rockwell PartnerNetwork for CIP fluid sensing
BOSTON – November 13, 2026 -- Laminar has joined the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork as a Technology Partner, giving manufacturers that run Rockwell technology access to its inline fluid sensors for Clean-in-Place (CIP) and product changeover processes. Rockwell (NYSE: ROK) employs about 26,000 people in more than 100 countries as of fiscal year-end 2025, and Laminar says the partnership lets it extend its technology across Rockwell Automation environments.
Laminar's patented inline spectral sensors feed machine learning models that identify fluid conditions and transitions in real time. Connected to industrial control systems, the output supports AI-based process decisions in place of recipes and fixed timers, according to the company. Under that approach, a cleaning cycle would end when sensors detect a change in fluid state, not when a preset timer runs out.
