The Foxboro Automation unit of Invensys Process Systems is seeking the control room in a North American process plant that is most in need of a complete design and equipment makeover. The winning company will receive a reality TV-style makeover with a total estimated value of up to $350,000. Foxboro will announce the winner at ISA Expo, Oct. 25-27, in Chicago.

The makeover will include professional control room design by User Centered Design Services; a conceptual design solution walkthrough video from Smith LaRock; a new operator console from Wright Line, a manufacturer of consoles, enclosures, and other furniture for technology-intensive environments; Foxboro workstation and monitor upgrades; and appropriate Invensys engineering, alarm management, and training services.

Potential candidates are encouraged to send photos of their control rooms, along with a control room description and their specific “makeover” goals and objectives to Foxboro, where an expert team of judges will choose the control room most in need of a functional and cosmetic upgrade.
