FieldComm Group is actively seeking qualified nominees for the 21st annual Plant of the Year Award. End users and manufacturers from all world areas are encouraged to nominate their plant or their customer’s plant for this prestigious award. The FieldComm Group Plant of the Year is the only international award presented to end user companies in the process automation industry to recognize the exceptional and valuable application of Foundation Fieldbus, FDI and / or HART Communication technologies.
“Selection of the Plant of the Year is based on a plant’s use of our field communication and integration technologies - not on the size or location of the installation. We are seeking a plant that has taken the capabilities of FDI, Foundation Fieldbus, HART, HART-IP or WirelessHART enabled devices beyond configuration and calibration,” says Ted Masters, FieldComm group president and CEO. “It can be a plant that is using real-time device diagnostics and process information integrated with control, information, asset management, safety systems or any other system to lower operating costs, reduce unplanned downtime and improve operations.”
The 2023 Plant of the Year winner will receive an award plaque to display at their facility and an official award presentation by FieldComm Group Management at an event held at the plant site, along with other recognition.
This globally recognized award has been presented to plants demonstrating significant savings and benefits by making a digital transformation utilizing the information available in their smart measuring devices improving reliability, quality, safety or compliance.
