Software - Control design: AdvES is an engineering system that extends the functionality of a standard PCS 7 system by reducing configuration and commissioning costs while improving engineering quality. This is a Control Engineering 2013 Engineers' Choice Awards Honorable Mention.
Control Engineering
Using the Advanced Engineering System (AdvES), consulting engineers and end users can significantly reduce their configuration and commissioning costs while simultaneously improving engineering quality.
The AdvES acts as a data import application that expands the functionality of plant configuration in cooperation with higher-level CAD/CAE planning tools. It is a link between standard PCS 7 engineering tools and tools for basic and detailed planning, such as EPlan, ELCAD or SmartPlant.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
