Read MoreA true safety culture does not just mean managing and mitigating hazards and behaviour, it should ensure that the methods used to enable it to happen leave the workforce feeling positive about themselves and empowered to undertake their maintenance tasks confidently and safely.
Read MoreThe cloud can transform the worlds of IT and OT and the possibilities of the cloud have gained momentum among manufacturers alongside other trending technologies, such as AI, edge computing, and virtualization. But to unlock the full potential of cloud computing, leadership must first recognize its benefits.
Read MoreAt an industrial scale, the amount of data just described can quickly become overwhelming since there are often thousands of sensors and instruments, with each one sending their individual streams that can combine into a torrent. This is operational technology (OT) data, but we depend on information technology (IT) techniques to put it to work, hence the IT/OT convergence. The two sides must be blended together if the data is to become useful.
Read MoreBefore companies start their digital transformation journey, a good understanding of your current organizational culture is crucial for simple reasons. Learn why role models could be one of your most significant constraints for change.
Read MoreThe pace of digital transformation is accelerating, delivering benefits from increased profitability, reduced costs, and higher productivity. In his latest blog, Nick Cross examines how Exaquantum Plant Historian is enabling companies to generate growth from plant data and is at the forefront of digital transformation.
Read MoreIn his latest blog, Marcel considers the need for IIoT. With the perceived value to the customer including cost reduction and increased asset reliability, he questions whether this is enough to deploy such technologies and realize tangible benefits.
Read MoreIn recent times, there has been a shift to transforming manufacturing and production facilities into lean and mean organizations, leading to a relatively small team responsible for production. In the manufacturing world, to achieve optimal outcomes, it is necessary to expand capacity, avoid downtime, and find ways to save money while maintaining safety. But is there such a thing as becoming too lean?
Read MoreIn his latest blog, Marcel evaluates ‘The Commodity Trap’, and its relevance to the Digital Transformation journey. When faced with the understanding and application of Digital Transformation, most customers have never encountered such a complex and technical changes before. Can you rationalise risk?
Read MoreIn his latest blog, Marcel Kelder evaluates the validation of data as part of the Digital Transformation journey.
Read MoreCorrosion – it is a slow poison to plant equipment and pipelines. Its effects are often only apparent when the system has already sufficiently corroded, and destruction is either about to take place or already occurred.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation (here after will be referred as Yokogawa) and KBC (a Yokogawa company) developed a solution to this problem. Predict corrosion and inform plant people in advance so that operators can take corrective actions to avoid the disaster.
Read MoreIs a Digital Twin necessary? That’s not the question. The question is what makes a Digital Twin a useful tool for the Process Industry? Petro-SIM® simulation modeling software provides an accurate digital twin of your value chain from end to end.
Read MoreThe ultimate goal of automation is autonomous operation. Autonomous operation requires plants that operate without human intervention and continuously adapt to changes in their environment.
Read MoreIf there’s anything positive to take away from the COVID-19 situation, it’s that it forces innovation and enterprise resilience.
Read MoreValue chain optimization involves the agile and efficient alignment of supply of premium products as closely as possible to market demand with sufficient resilience or operational flexibility to readily adjust production and exploit market opportunities.
Read MoreDigital systems were first widely implemented in the process industries in the 1970`s. Since then there has been a sea of process data and a proliferation of databases and many attempts to integrate them using data warehouses, middleware and web services. Most of these attempts have had limited success and are difficult to maintain and scale.
Read MoreCombining optimisation, simulation and artificial intelligence to optimise the hydrocarbon value chain.
Read MoreThe Yokogawa Solution Seminar was held in Conrad Seoul Hotel on July 5th. 70+ members joined and listened to the seminar attentively.
Read MoreTraditionally, oil has been considered one of the most valuable physical assets, but is this important commodity being replaced by data? In this article, Nick Cross evaluates the value of data in the era of digital transformation.
