MoreLonMark International, a non-profit international association recognized for the certification, education, and promotion of interoperability standards for control networking, experienced membership growth as a result of its recent LONCOM conference.

New LonMark members affiliated with energy efficiency software, restaurant equipment and systems integration include Automated Equipment LLC, C-Tech Controls, Franke Foodservice Systems, GridNavigator Inc., Kitchen Brains, Phoenix Energy Technologies, Prince Castle LLC, Robinson Solutions and Serious Materials.Several McDonald’s executives shared their perspectives on networked kitchen equipment and building automation systems, including Laurie Gilbert, vice president innovation with McDonald’s Corporation.
