The Fieldbus Foundation is a non-profit organization consisting of over 350 leading process and manufacturing automation companies worldwide whose major purpose is to provide an open and neutral environment for the development of a single, international, interoperable fieldbus. "The meeting is set to bring international Fieldbus Foundation (FF) experts together in the Middle East region to share experiences with end user participants, which is why this is a great event that we want to support," said Hussain Al-Atrakchi, Regional General Manager & Executive Director Middle East for Automation and Control Solutions Honeywell Middle East.
