In an automation context, process industries are defined as those which are predominantly concerned with processes involving chemical or liquid transportation and transformation. Examples of process industries include:

 Food and beverage
 Clean and waste water treatment
 Pulp and paper manufacturing
 Petrochemical
 Chemical
 Pharmaceutical

Process improvement
Drives are used extensively to finely control the pressure, flow and temperature of fluids, gases and other materials. Control Techniques drives integrate with process control and asset management systems to provide accurate and reliable control of electric motors. Typical applications include fans, pumps, mixers and other associated automated machinery.

 Carbon reduction
Electric motors consume an estimated two-thirds of the electrical energy used in industry. Control Techniques drives not only improve processes, they also significantly reduce energy consumption and play a crucial role in improving the overall energy efficiency of process plants.
