Partnership strengthens Atlas OT's ability to deliver open, software-defined industrial automation solutions that give manufacturers and critical infrastructure operators greater flexibility, interoperability, and long-term operational resilience. 


CENTENNIAL, CO. — Atlas OT, a process-focused Master System Integrator specializing in industrial automation and operational technology (OT) solutions, today announced its official partnership with Schneider Electric as a Certified Alliance Partner and has earned certification in EcoStruxure™ Automation Expert (EAE). This achievement makes Atlas OT the only certified EcoStruxure Automation Expert Alliance Partner in the Rocky Mountain Region, reinforcing the company's commitment to delivering innovative, future-ready automation solutions that place customer processes, not proprietary hardware, at the center of every project.


The partnership represents an important milestone for Atlas OT as industrial organizations increasingly seek open automation platforms that simplify modernization, improve operational agility, and reduce dependence on proprietary control systems.

A Shared Vision for the Future of Industrial Automation  

Industrial automation is entering a new era.


Manufacturers, utilities, and critical infrastructure operators are facing growing demands to increase productivity, strengthen cybersecurity, improve operational resilience, and modernize aging control systems, all while protecting existing investments.


Meeting these challenges requires more than replacing hardware. It requires a new approach to automation.


By joining the Schneider Electric Alliance Partner Program, Atlas OT expands its ability to help customers adopt modern, software-defined automation architectures that are designed to evolve with their operations instead of limiting them.

What is EcoStruxure™ Automation Expert?  

EcoStruxure™ Automation Expert (EAE) is Schneider Electric's next-generation industrial automation platform built on the principles of open, software-defined automation.


Unlike traditional control systems that tightly couple automation software to specific PLC hardware, EAE separates software applications from the underlying control hardware. This hardware-agnostic architecture allows automation applications to be developed, deployed, and maintained independently of the physical controller.

The result is greater engineering flexibility, easier modernization, improved interoperability, and reduced vendor lock-in.


For industrial organizations, this means automation systems that can adapt as operational requirements change without requiring complete system redesigns or extensive software rewrites.

Why This Partnership Matters  

Atlas OT has always approached industrial automation differently.

As a Process-Focused Master System Integrator, the company designs automation solutions around each customer's operational objectives rather than around a single manufacturer's technology platform.


Whether supporting water and wastewater facilities, manufacturing plants, food and beverage processors, renewable energy producers, mining operations, or other industrial environments, Atlas OT begins every project by understanding the process.


That philosophy aligns perfectly with EcoStruxure Automation Expert.


Instead of designing systems constrained by hardware, Atlas OT can now help customers develop automation strategies that prioritize process optimization, operational efficiency, and long-term flexibility.

Delivering Greater Value Through Open Automation  

The combination of Atlas OT's systems integration expertise and Schneider Electric's software-defined automation platform provides customers with significant operational advantages, including:

  • Greater flexibility through hardware-independent automation architecture

  • Reduced vendor lock-in with open, interoperable technologies

  • Simplified modernization of existing automation systems

  • Reusable software applications that reduce engineering time

  • Improved lifecycle management for automation assets

  • Scalable architectures that support future expansion

  • Lower total cost of ownership through greater long-term maintainability


By separating applications from hardware, organizations can preserve engineering investments while adopting new technologies as operational needs evolve.

Strengthening Industrial Automation Across the 
Rocky Mountain Region  

As the only certified Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Automation Expert Alliance Partner in the Rocky Mountain Region, Atlas OT is uniquely positioned to support organizations seeking a more flexible and future-ready approach to industrial automation.


The partnership also expands Atlas OT's access to Schneider Electric's engineering resources, technical training, and collaborative innovation, enabling the company to deliver advanced automation solutions backed by one of the world's leading industrial technology providers.

Combined with Atlas OT's expertise in:

  • Industrial Automation

  • SCADA Systems

  • PLC Programming

  • Industrial Networking

  • OT Cybersecurity

  • UL 508A Control Panel Fabrication

  • Digital Transformation


Customers receive comprehensive support throughout every phase of an automation project's lifecycle, from system design and integration to commissioning and long-term support.

Looking Ahead  

The future of industrial automation is built on openness, interoperability, and flexibility.

As organizations continue modernizing their operations, software-defined automation will play a critical role in reducing engineering complexity, protecting technology investments, and enabling smarter, more resilient industrial systems.


Atlas OT's partnership with Schneider Electric represents another step toward delivering that future.


By combining deep process expertise with Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Automation Expert platform, Atlas OT is helping industrial organizations across the Rocky Mountain Region embrace automation architectures that are designed not only for today's operational demands but also for tomorrow's opportunities.
