The International Society of Automation (ISA) has relaunched Automation.com, its news publication, with a significant upgrade to both design and user experience. This enhanced version of the site introduces updated navigation, advanced search options and improved topical organization.

How Do You Keep Up with Trends in the Automation Field?

ISA’s relaunch of Automation.com is intended to help automation engineers, technicians and other professionals better understand well-established and emerging technologies.

“We know industrial automation is evolving rapidly, and so are the needs of our readers,” said Rick Zabel, managing director of ISA Publications, in a press release. “With the newly redesigned Automation.com, we’re making it simpler for automation professionals to access critical information, stay current with industry trends and connect with their global community.”

More Efficient Search and Topic Organization

A key aspect of the Automation.com upgrade is the introduction of advanced search functionality. Automation professionals can now find in-depth news, product reports, technical features and guidance in a more intuitive way.

With navigation built around ISA technical content topics, ISA members and non-members alike can browse by topics of interest, such as factory and process control, OT cybersecurity, safety and smart manufacturing. This structure lets visitors home in on the information they need or explore subfields relevant to their daily work and ongoing projects.

Easily Browse on Mobile Devices

Automation.com now features a streamlined layout optimized for all major devices, including mobile phones and tablets. This refresh minimizes visual clutter and simplifies the journey from landing on the homepage to locating a specific technical resource.

Deeper Ties to ISA and Community Content

With this redesign, Automation.com is reinforcing its connection to ISA. Coming soon are dedicated spaces for Society news and updates. Members will be able to easily find announcements, upcoming events and more through a special category tag for ISA activities.

The site serves ISA members as well as non-members, providing everyone with quick access to articles, insightful commentary, standards information, interviews and industry guidance.

ISA’s Automation.com is still the best place for automation professionals to find authoritative resources and current news.
