The Durban branch is proud to announce its latest initiative to recognise the outstanding work carried out by colleagues in the automation and instrumentation field.
This new annual award is open to all C&I vendors, SI’s or end-users who are either based in KZN or have completed a project in the region during the period August 2010 to July 2011. The presentation will take place at our prestigious annual dinner in the form of a plaque to be displayed at the winning site.
The primary criteria for judging will be complexity, innovation, scale of implementation, technology used and end-user satisfaction. Interested parties are invited to send a one page description of the project to [email protected] by 15 August 2011.
