Knowledge Sharing for a Brighter Future
A digital twin is a companion that supports plant managers and operators in realizing the benefits of smart manufacturing, utilizing data for better decision-making and coping with the ever-changing market demand.
Read MoreIn his latest blog, Marcel Kelder evaluates the validation of data as part of the Digital Transformation journey.
Read MoreKnow your adversary – this is surely one of the essential steps in any program to improve security? If you don’t understand the nature of the threat, whether it is a human threat such as warfare or, more topically, a natural threat such as the novel coronavirus, then you are not going to understand how to protect yourself adequately.
Read More“Operations Management” is a component of the business enterprise system software package and is used by plant operators to create operation logs, work instructions, and shift handover reports. This solution product helps to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient plant operations.
Read MoreKPI – Key Performance Indicator: very often we hear this word whenever we join management level meetings, technical meetings, during discussions with operation managers and operators, etc. Each of them has a different set of KPIs, but the goal for everyone is to provide maximum benefit to their manufacturing plant.
In 2019, after visiting more than 50 manufacturing plants, Yokogawa came up with the solution, PDO: Profit Driven Operation. Yokogawa designed this new concept by creating a metrics that connects Business KPIs with Operations KPIs. Not only was this metrics created, but also created was a Dashboard that easily depicts the pain points that need immediate attention.
Read MoreAdvanced analytics of process data cannot be done without domain knowledge; Yokogawa can provide the best practices of the industry with over a century of domain knowledge, and consequently Yokogawa has become able to provide something beyond Data Analytics: AI-Driven Autonomous Optimization
Read MoreThe process industries are asset intensive, safety and profitability are highly dependent on asset reliability and availability. Asset Digital Twin is a step forward toward Digital Transformation
Read MoreAutonomous Operations is the destination of Smart Manufacturing which is the Digital Transformation in Manufacturing Sector.
Read MoreYokogawa and KBC’s approach to the application of digital technologies is to work backwards from the business goals, constraints, best practices and users to define the Digitalization technologies and approach to deliver on business outcomes, rather than start with new technologies and look for places to apply them. Key to the progression towards autonomous operations is the combination of traditional automation technologies such as modular procedure automation, multivariable predictive control and process optimization with the latest AI and machine learning technologies.

Read MoreThe purpose of any production accounting methodology is to obtain high quality data in a timely fashion. It should support the unique version of the truth for process decision making. A decision based on data, is not intuitive, it is cognitive. VM-PA is highly reliable and tested Production Accounting solution.
Read MoreThe North Sea is a global center of excellence for subsea. However, in the age of digitalization and the opportunities created through data sharing with collaborative partners, is the UK North Sea falling behind the curve?
Read MoreThe digital transformation of process plant field activities, such as an operator’s round, basic equipment care, predictive maintenance, etc. can benefit from using a digital Field Assistant. It improves safety, reliability, and efficiency. In addition, it helps teams to communicate seamlessly while working inside their individual departments or across the organization.
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 MoreEnergy needs to be utilized well, otherwise it is wastage of natural resources and money. Yokogawa Electric Corporation and KBC (a Yokogawa company) work in this field of Energy Management System, so that Manufacturing units not only run their plant with highest efficiencies, but also save environment.
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 primary goal of a safety system is to reduce operational risks and improve the overall process safety of a plant over its entire lifecycle. Learn the top five reasons to monitor safety system performance.
Read MoreAdvanced 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.
