ABB's energy, automation future

This was the first year ABB combined its Automation and Power division user groups and if you listen to the president and chief executive of ABB Inc., it was a huge success.
"From now on it will be Automation & Power World," said Enrique Santacana, ABB's president and chief executive in North America during today's keynote address at ABB Automation & Power World in Orlando, Fla.
It only makes sense, he said, because the "automation and energy umbrella will become closer and closer."
Santacana cited some of the statistics from the show: 895 end users registered; 778 sales partners, and 3,315 registered participants.
"That all means a lot becase all of these people attended during the current economic crisis," Santacana said.
