About PVSS

Independent reporting on manufacturing, automation, energy, supply chains and construction.

PVSS is an independent publication about industry and engineering. We report on manufacturing, automation and robotics, energy and utilities, supply chains and construction, and we publish guides on how industrial systems work.

What we publish

Short, sourced news stories and practical engineering guides. Each story explains what happened, who it affects and what it changes, and ends with a list of the company filings, regulatory decisions, standards, statements and data it draws on. We say which facts come from a company and which come from a regulator, standards body or independent source, and we keep opinion out of the news.

Independence
