Knowledge Sharing for a Brighter Future
Advanced control is centered on soft sensors and multivariable model predictive control, and contributes to generating profits by continuously realizing stable product quality, improved product yield, and energy saving.
Read MorePerhaps the most common application of machine learning in the process industries is to support predictive maintenance. Anomaly detection is widely used to identify equipment performance degradation much earlier than using traditional condition monitoring systems and data analytics. However, the use of artificial intelligence to improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs is still in its infancy.
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 MoreIn this article, Dr Maurice J Wilkins offers some food for thought about the need for UK industry to come together to ensure that the engineering workforce is prepared for the digital transformation.
Read MoreNuisance alarms are a symptom of poorly managed alarm systems, they inhibit the effectiveness of Operators and obscure the view of what is really going on - compromising safety and reducing the effectiveness of the alarm system. Yokogawa provides a comprehensive alarm reporting and analysis package which can typically reduce nuisance alarms by 80% and improve alarm system behaviour thus minimizing safety risks and enhancing plant operations.
Read MoreHonshu Chemical Industry Company, Ltd. collaborates with Yokogawa to raise the quality acceptance rate to 100% and improve product yield.
Read MoreOrganizations are seeking to transform their businesses through digitalization, improving work flows and processes, adapting organization culture and changing supply chain relationships.
Although Digitalization can deliver significant value for organizations, it also increases the threat surface which, if not effectively managed, can create significant cyber security risks for industrial environments. In this article, Donal explores the changing business landscape and countermeasures to reduce cyber risk.
Read MoreIn his latest article, Nick Cross evaluates a subsea solution that provides an early indication of well valve degradation. Through monitoring, analysis and visualization of subsea data, operators can quickly identify the early signs of valve degradation enabling them to take corrective actions, and support the safe and efficient operations of the subsea environment.
Read MoreDigitalization creates and sustains competitive advantage and is one of the key strategies a plant can adopt in pursuit of operational excellence. In his latest article, Duncan Micklem explores strategies to realize the true value from Digitalization.
Read MoreThe Yokogawa Solution Seminar was held in Conrad Seoul Hotel on July 5th. 70+ members joined and listened to the seminar attentively.
Read MoreWith current findings indicating that less than 5% of a manufacturing plan’s generated data is put to good use, there’s a huge opportunity for firms to reap new rewards through digitized sensors. Experts from Yokogawa and Frost & Sullivan explain how.
Read MoreMitsubishi Gas Chemical Company‘s Mizushima Plant selects Yokogawa process data analysis solution that has helped to reduce operator workload and stabilize processes.
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.
Read MoreYokogawa released an asset performance management (APM) solution, which includes wireless sensors, cloud environment and applications. Please read more in the Yokogawa portal site to see how it can contribute to customers’ business.
Read MoreDigitalization allows you to manage day-to-day performance safely and reliably, respond to swings in market dynamics, operate at a true optimum and outmanoeuvre competition. It can turn a distracted organization that is bogged down reacting to day-to-day issues and inundated with data, information and advice, into an agile, well-tuned machine that anticipates issues and organizes to prioritize and solve them before they escalate.
