5th Yokogawa Europe User Conference

The steering committee welcomes you to the 5th Yokogawa User Conference to be jointly hosted at the Novotel,Amsterdam, and Yokogawa Europe’s new headquarter facilities in Amersfoort, The Netherlands.

Yokogawa has already engaged a number of keynote speakers from BP, St. Gobain Glass, Merck Serono, Total, Safripol, and Dr. Werner Kreuz of A.T. Kearney. The program will be varied with workshops, breakout sessions, and plenary presentations from users, business partners and Yokogawa.

“One of the highlights is always the automation fair, where Yokogawa and its business partners combined, to give a perspective on the latest technologyand how it is implemented. From the point of view of the conference, it is always interesting, an enjoyable learning experience which should not be missed” Peter Carse – Area Manager Process Automation, Natref, South Africa

Operational excellence is one of the cornerstones of the business in which Yokogawa and users are engaged in. The economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 has strongly impacted the business operations and has forced companies to make optimum use of their assets. During this conference, the delegates are able to learn, and share experiences how the users of Yokogawa’s VigilantPlant solutions are dealing with these challenges and meeting their company’s targets.

“The June 2010 User Conference will be more interactive than ever. Also the visit to the new headquarters of Yokogawa Europe will provide the participants with a great opportunity to explore, fee and learn all about Yokogawa and their solutions” Robert Ytsma – Maintenance Supervisor, Kisuma Chemicals, The Netherlands

There will be four main areas:

1. Safety Excellence
2. Production Excellence
3. Asset Excellence
4. Life Cycle Excellence

Presentations and workshops by users and Yokogawa respectively will be addressing the benefits they have captured and how they realized them for these four main areas. In addition, the Automation Fair, participants can learn about the latest developments in these areas, the newest applications of Yokogawa technology, and integrated solutions with the business partners and be updated on the recently announced VigilantPlant Services.

Looking forward to welcoming you to this year’s conference.

Yours truly,

Robert Ytsma – Kisuma Chemicals (Chairman User Council)

Peter Carse – Natref (Vice-Chairman User Council)
