How the Process Automation Hall of Fame selection works #pauto #control

    It occurs to me that I ought to give y'all some detail on how the Process Automation Hall of Fame works.

    It was established by my predecessor, Paul Studebaker, in 2001 and three to five process automation luminaries are inducted annually, and profiled in the February issue of Control and on ControlGlobal.com. The award is presented at the WBF North American Conference, which this year will be at the University of Delaware the end of May.
