CellView® awarded for technical excellence in the Metal Products Category
The 6th Annual PACE Zenith Awards were held in Sydney on the 18th June 2009. MIPAC took first prize for its CellView® wireless Tankhouse Management solution in the metals products category; MIPAC was also selected as a finalist in the mining, aggregates and cement category for its Advanced Control Strategies work with Xstrata Zinc Concentrator in Mount Isa.
“Every year the PACE Zenith awards recognises companies that demonstrate leadership in engineering and technology, said Eddie DeRivera, Managing Director, MIPAC.
Both of MIPAC’s nominations demonstrate our ability to optimise our customer processes to ensure clients derive maximum benefit from their operation.
