Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
Yokogowa SA
Yokogawa's enterprise technology solutions is an advanced Yokogawa concept for integrated control, automation, monitoring and supervisory computer systems.
Yokogawa in Europe executes major control automation projects to supply turnkey systems solutions. Integrated system design, implementation, installation, training and maintenance services are important key points in Yokogawa's strategic developments to anticipate current and long-term market demands and trends. The total system integration capability is called "enterprise technology solutions" and includes design and implementation of field instrumentation, marshalling panels and consoles, PLCs, distributed controxl systems, industrial safety systems and supervisory computer applications. A wide range of batch, continuous and sequence control applications are engineered efficiently. Standard available application software packages and effective engineering methodologies based on international standards allow for short project life cycles.
Yokogawa's enterprise technology solutions include advanced process control, oil movement systems, plant information management, batch management and operational support packages. The company supports the open systems philosophy, making total systems integration a strategic competitive advantage for its customers. Production scheduling, process optimisation, extensive trending and reporting applications can fulfil the supervisory control requirements demanded by modern process control experts and plant management. It reflects the need for a continuous monitoring of production effectiveness resulting in high and constant quality products.
Yokogawa's sales and engineering staff are dedicated to assist clients in realising a total integrated systems solution for their process control and optimisation project. Yokogawa's distributed control systems, the Centum CS family, offers scaleable solutions from small, medium to large sized applications. Furthermore, a large variety of field proven application software packages is available that enables control of the process in a more efficient and economical way.
