Rockwell Automation to sponsor Mechatronic Design award

Now in their second year, the BEEAs are designed to demonstrate, promote and celebrate the quality of engineering design within the UK. The Mechatronic Design category is new this year and Andrew Smith, Rockwell's commercial engineering team leader said of the company's sponsorship: "At Rockwell Automation we continually strive to develop automation solutions that provide our customers real value. Be it in the areas of plant-wide optimisation, machine builder performance or sustainable production, our focus on innovative products and services is a constant driver. It is these principles of creativity, innovation, and delivering customer value that lead us to proudly sponsor the Mechatronic Design Award at the 2010 BEEAs – an award that clearly recognises the application of engineering talent with leading edge technology. " Entries for the British Engineering Excellence Awards close on 31 July 2010 and the shortlist will be announced on 25 August. The final judging session will take place on 1 September and the Awards will be presented at a lunch event, being held at the Globe Theatre in London on 14 October.
