The branch kicked off the year with a braai and Technical Evening presented by EOH Process Automation Solutions.
We were delighted to have outgoing SAIMC president Oratile Sematle at the meeting, inspiring us all for the year ahead. The branch would like to thank Lebo Vries, Paul Ganter and Juaandre Heyneke for their service on the committee this past year. If there are any new volunteers for the Vaal branch committee please contact us.

Guest speaker for the evening, Jonathan Cowley, introduced EOH Process Automation Solutions. Jonathan is the sales manager for Foxboro at Schneider Electric, responsible for UK, Nordics & Southern Africa. He has worked for the group in various positions since 2007 and holds a B.Eng (Hons) in Materials Technology from the University of Surrey. He resides in Oxford, UK.
Jonathan introduced the audience to the latest Foxboro pressure transmitter technologies, as well as the latest Foxboro valve positioner, where he highlighted the ease of initial set-up and valve stroking capability, which makes use of the years of experience gained from Foxboro pneumatic to current technology.
It was a well-attended event followed by a good networking session where many technical questions were addressed.
The next Technical Evening will be held on 5 April at the Iscor Bowling Club in Vanderbijlpark. Pepperl+Fuchs will present ‘Keeping up with the demand for high-speed communication in the modern process plant’.
