This is a great way for you to collectively recognize those suppliers that are doing right by you, and (by their absence), those that aren't. Your collective experience and evaluation of product value offered by the automation and controls technology providers in this industry is invaluable.

We've just upped the ante on the prize this year for those that participate in our survey. As a thank you for your time, not only are we giving away $100 gift cards (one drawn for every 50 completed questionnaires), but we're ADDITIONALLY offering one iPad Mini or $500 American Express gift card!

Check your email account for your invitation to participate in our Readers' Choice Award voting and a link to the ballot.. Complete as much of the survey as your experience allows. But you must hurry! The survey will be closing soon.

As usual, vendors are ineligible to vote and those responses will be discarded.

If you're a machine builder or system integrator and you didn't receive your invitation, contact Editor in Chief Joe Feeley.
