Pump technology has been evolving throughout its history, from simple machines to rotodynamic pumps driven by constant speed electric motors. Recently, variable speed drives and computer technology have been implemented. Now we are entering a new stage called "intelligent pump". With the term ‘intelligence’, it means today pumps have the mental ability to observe, to analyze and to adapt to changing circumstances. Therefore to ensure efficiency and reliability in use, with the reduction of energy and maintenance costs. Many of our winners today present us with "intelligent pumps".

On the awards ceremony, Mr. Michael R Hay, President of Ringier Trade Media, explains:

“The most important elements in any Awards Program is that it must be honest, it must be fair, and it must be transparent and …in our case …that it truly identifies “Innovation”. Thus it is the independent panel of experts – the judges who play the key role in the selection of the winners, that is the one important feature that make this award special and different from other such programs in China. These judges cannot be bought, we cannot be bought – nominations are open to everybody in the industry – the final winners are selected however solely on their merit – and nothing more.”

This event is not to recognize Ringier in anyway – rather to encourage, acknowledge and reward those individuals and companies who introduce and develop a new ideas, a new method, a new product or technology. We are merely the framework by which these Awards take place.
