Austin, Texas, USA - The HART® Communication Foundation (www.hartcomm.org) is actively seeking qualified nominees for the 11th annual HART Plant of the Year Award.

"Selection of the HART Plant of the Year is based on a plant's use of HART Communication not on the size of the installation. We are seeking a plant that has taken the capabilities of HART instruments beyond configuration and calibration," says Ron Helson, HART Communication Foundation Executive Director. "Or, the plant that is using real-time diagnostics and process variables in HART-enabled devices integrated with control, information, asset management, or safety systems."
