MSA Receives Game Changer Award at Connected Plant Conference

Mission Support Alliance congratulates Todd Synoground, vice president of Public Works; Ashley Ward, director of Information Systems; and Jeff Flora, creative technologist, for receiving the Game Changer award at the Connected Plant Conference in Atlanta.

Nominated for their collaboration to bring Microsoft’s HoloLens mixed reality platform to the Hanford Site, the team is modernizing and improving maintenance and operations protocols as well as training the next round of operations personnel to bring long-term success to the Hanford mission. This tool will enhance operational efficiency, improve maintenance planning, modernize training, and provide reliability and availability improvements of Hanford’s key infrastructure systems.

The Game Changer Award, chosen by the editors of Chemical Engineering and POWER magazines, recognizes fast risers in the field who, through insight and experience, have contributed to innovation, solved problems, or made extraordinary improvements using digitalization solutions in the power generation and chemical process industries.
