Triple win for Metso
Metso has been triply honoured for its work in the process control field, receiving Control magazine’s Readers’ Choice Award, Automation World’s First Team Award and a Control Engineering Engineers’ Choice honourable mention.
The company’s Control Performance Business Solution helps customers recognise and rectify issues with controls that are causing an economic impact on their operations. The foundation for this service is Metso ExperTune’s PlantTriage software.
The software received first place in the Loop Tuning Software Category for a Control magazine Readers’ Choice Award. “Since the founding of our Readers’ Choice Awards more than 20 years ago, ExperTune has dominated the category of Loop Tuning Software. The company always places highly in the eyes of process automation professionals, and yet another #1 rank in 2014 affirms their market leadership in this important technology category,” wrote Editor-in-Chief Paul Studebaker in a Control magazine article on the awards.
In addition to the software category, Metso Automation received honourable mentions in the categories of Control Valve, On/Off Valve, Electric Valve Actuator and Pneumatic Valve Actuator.
For the second year, the Metso ExperTune team was selected as Automation World First Team Category Leader in the category of Loop Tuning Software.
“As you would expect with any such survey, the major automation suppliers play a dominant role in most of the categories. This is hardly surprising considering their breadth of product offerings, decades of experience supplying the industry, and ever-increasing services programs. Despite this, many smaller suppliers received enough write-in votes to qualify for First Team honours,” Automation World editorial staff wrote.
More than 100 product nominations from 58 companies were entered for consideration in the 2014 Engineers’ Choice Awards. Control Engineering subscribers voted to identify the products they felt were the most exceptional based on technological advancement, service to the industry and market impact.
