Concerning the Neles product line, Metso Automation has joined Honeywell's PKS Advantage Program - a collaborative effort that integrates automation suppliers' products with Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS). Metso's participation expands the program's options for integrated control valves for petro-chemical, refining, LNG and other process industries. It also expands integrated safety instrumented system offerings for users in all industries.

"Metso Automation wishes to offer a better integration of Neles products to all automation systems. Integration of Neles products to Honeywell systems via the PKS Advantage program serves especially our customers in hydrocarbon industries," said Markku Simula, vice president, Neles Product Line in Metso Automation.
