Metso ExperTune's PlantTriage software received First Place in the Loop Tuning Software Category for a Control Magazine Readers' Choice Award. In the article, Paul Studebaker, Editor in Chief noted, "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."
In addition to the software category, Metso Automation received honorable mentions in the categories of Control Valve, On/Off Valve, Electric Valve Actuator and Pneumatic Valve Actuator. Metso's automation services not only supplies quality valves, but also provide unique efficiency, while addressing the issues of health, safety and environment.
For the second straight year, the Metso ExperTune team was selected as "Automation World First Team Category Leader" in the category of Loop Tuning Software. Automation World Editorial Staff summed it up best, "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 honors."
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.
