PROCESS - No more alarm overloads -
A widespread issue in manufacturing plants is alarm overload. As formerly independent systems are integrated for more effective operation by fewer operators, each operator has to monitor an increasingly wider area and consequently deal with more alarms. Without rigorous alarm rationalization, alarm flooding becomes a serious problem, increasing the risk of accidents and environmental damage.

PROCESS - Flexible device configuration -
Yokogawa FieldMate Advance software can configure and adjust intelligent field devices from different manufacturers and on multiple fieldbus protocols. This flexibility is possible thanks to the use of Field Device Tool (FDT) open standards developed by the FDT Group, of which Yokogawa is a board member.

PROCESS - Linked but separate -
Launched in February 2005, Yokogawa’s ProSafe-RS safety instrumented system (SIS) quickly gained a significant share of the market. Just 18 months later, 100 units had been sold-quite a feat considering the generally conservative nature of the SIS market. So what is behind this rapid success?

OIL&GAS JOURNAL
- High-integrity pressure protection lowers subsea costs -
Many published papers discuss the benefits of subsea HIPPS and many studies show the potential cost-benefit analysis of this technology in deepwater applications. An internet search for subsea HIPPS is informative; however, little appears that discusses the systems already delivered and operating successfully.

PROCESS - Asset excellence -
Predictive maintenance allows to schedule plant maintenance before a failure occurs only when it is necessary, greatly reducing unnecessary inspection and improving productivity. Yokogawa’s Asset Excellence initiative helps its customers make their plant asset condition predictable and performance sustainable.
