On March 29th in Chicago, Illinois, New Standard Institute was presented with Plant Engineering Magazine’s Product of the Year 2009 Award as part of the 2010 The Plant and Control Engineering Manufacturing/Automation Summit.

The Milford, Connecticut-based company received the award for the interactive training program on Fuses, Circuit Breakers, and Overloads in the category of Productivity/Training Software. New Standard won an award in this same category in 2009 for the "Belt and Chain Drives" program.

From the letter of recognition:

Your new product has been selected by the readers of Plant Engineering magazine as a winner in the 2009 Product of the Year Awards. The annual Product of the Year recognition, now in its 22nd
year, is the manufacturing industry standard for new product achievement. Winners are selected by a vote of qualified Plant Engineering subscribers – the people who buy, specify and use these
products on a daily basis. They are the most qualified engineers you can find to understand how new products reduce energy costs, ensure safety and improve productivity on the manufacturing plant floor. That’s why the Plant Engineering Product of the Year award is so highly regarded in the industry. Traveling to Chicago to accept the award were New Standard Institute Product Development Manager Michael D. Konopka and Senior Production Artist Cristian Hidalgo.

Product Description: Fuses, Circuit Breakers, and Overloads:
This interactive software training program explains how to choose the correct device, apply the device properly, and guarantee that routine maintenance is conducted will ensure the protection is there when needed. Electric circuit protection is essential to protect wiring, equipment, and most importantly, personnel. Proper selection and application of circuit protection is mandated by law.

Additionally, New Standard Institute's training program on Confined Spaces received a Finalist Award in the category of 'Environment, Safety, and Health'.
