September 5, 2014 - The final step in constructing a single organization to lead process automation communications and integration technologies was completed when the members of both the HART Communication Foundation and Fieldbus Foundation approved the merger proposed by their respective boards through a voting process that concluded on August 30. This completes a yearlong study and diligence period by a dedicated team of volunteers representing each of the foundations.
