Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release ABB process automation strengths reported by ARC from
ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation), which we summarised at the time by saying "In a recently published study, industry analyst ARC Advisory Group ranked ABB in the leading worldwide market position in the broad process automation
market".
The same day,
we featured the news release AMEC to plan Syncrude expansions from

In February 2008, we covered the news from Brammer
concerning its White Waltham gearbox
- take a look at Modern gearbox boosts efficiency in sewage works
which says: "The integral torque limiter now means that if the tank paddle jams the torque limiter will trip and will simply need resetting, providing time and cost savings for Thames Water".
Take a look also at the news release from AVK UK, Valve manufacturer gets ready for UK CRC,
as well as MIT and ABB announce energy research partnership from ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation),
and Integrated Architecture on show at Interpack from Rockwell Automation.
