Automation has been called the “invisible” or “stealth” profession. Yet automation professionals design, create, and enhance the systems that produce everything around you and that you use every day.
Whether it’s the process measurement or control systems that manufacture pharmaceuticals, the latest in medical robotics, or delivering energy to power your home or car, the automation professional ensures those systems function properly.
This year ISA introduced all new award categories to recognize both automation professionals and companies who are making a difference across the industry.
Let’s put the spotlight on those individuals and companies that are making our lives easier.
ISA’s Honors and Awards program—Celebrating Excellence honors companies and individuals, members and non-members, for significant contributions in leadership, technical innovation, and contributions to education that have advanced the profession.
