Shipping news - export clearance for RTUs required

IBM 604 Calculator from 1948 - a very very low APP.

Invensys industrial automation teams have been engineering large scale automation of production fields and pipelines for many years.  Recently much investment has been turned toward renewing and improving existing sites rather than applying for big capital to create greenfield projects.  Many older sites need a lot of new gear to get the most efficient production from them in times where sometime cash is not so freely available. Of course all the new gear is based on more modern chip technology with higher MIP ratings and .. yes... you guessed it.. even controllers and Remote Terminal Units have to be cross-checked for their Ajusted Peak Performance [APP] ratings before getting export permission to ship to some destinations.
