This includes, but is not limited to, the design, development, and construction of tools, equipment, technical services, instrumentation, and/or an innovative service or contribution in automation.

Entries are judged according to the following criteria:

• Does the application overcome a technical hurdle?
• Are the benefits and solution clearly articulated?
• Is the solution innovative, time-saving, and cost-effective?

Submit an abstract no more than 300 words describing the innovation and its outcome.

There will be a Gold, Silver, and Bronze award winner selected by the editors of InTech and an independent committee comprised of industry professionals that will evaluate the written abstract and any art submitted with the application. All selected entries will be highlighted at ISA EXPO 2009 at the InTech Innovation Award booth and in the show daily. The winning entry will be unveiled at the Thursday keynote presentation.
