Since Rob joined the family business in 1995, he has led large-scale expansion projects\u2013 stretching the company\u2019s reach from a North American supplier to a global manufacturer, with more than 2,300 employees and facilities in USA, Canada, Mexico, Poland, China, and Vietnam. Five years ago, Phillips saw an opportunity to expand his 90-year old business from a hardware supplier to a leading technology and software company by launching a new business called Phillips Connect. The company created an entire industry around what they refer to as smart-trailers by enabling edge-computing sensors and cameras to its telematics gateways.&nbsp; In just over two years of shipping its first products, the company has already delivered more than 200,000 smart-trailer systems and more than 1,000,000 sensors to trucking companies across North America. Phillips Connect is the fastest growing telematics company in North America today, and is on track to save its customer base well over $1 billion in efficiencies and cost-avoidances over the life of their vehicles. &nbsp; Rob is always pushing the boundaries, and just recently launched a new business called Phillips Innovations, which brings an elevated level of safety, sustainability, driver comfort and automation to the industry through R&amp;D investments in solar, backup camera technologies, and autonomous driving solutions for trucks and trailers. Phillips Innovations is Rob\u2019s third company, and he has more plans to expand in the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Award winners were announced at the Innovator of the Year Awards celebration on September 7, 2023, at the Irvine Marriott.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/images.ocbj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IOTY-Supplement-7.31.23.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click
