Jim Pinto unleashed

Oct. 1, 2003
If you have heard industry pundit and Automation World columnist Jim Pinto speak, or read his barbed writings or laugh-out-loud poems, or subscribe to his popular e-newsletter, you’ll enjoy his new ISA book: “Automation Unplugged—Pinto’s Perspectives, Prognostications, Predictions & Poetry.”Set to debut at ISA Expo 2003 in Houston Oct.

21-23, Pinto’s book is loaded with critical analysis of the changing face of industrial automation; predictions about future automation technology trends—including Pinto’s provoking prognostications on which major supplier companies will survive, and which ones won’t; the best of his articles on marketing & distribution; and his highly rated fieldbus commentary. The book also includes the best-of-the-best poems from the recognized “poet laureate of instrumentation.”

“Automation Unplugged,” will soon be available online, as well as at the Houston ISA event. If you’d like to meet Pinto in person, he’ll be at the show, presenting and autographing his hot-off-the-press book.
