This year's SBP Users Meeting was held on January 25 at Hotel Laforet Tokyo.

-Purpose of the Users Meeting
The meeting provided current and prospective users of Exapilot, Exaquantum, Exasmoc and other products an opportunity to make and listen to  presentations on actual product applications and to exchange information.

-User Presentations
The meeting was attended by 170 users from a variety of industry sectors, exceeding the turnout at last year's successful meeting. Users made presentations on their applications of Exaplog, Exapilot, Exaquantum, Exasmoc, and Exarqe, and these were followed by lively question and answer sessions.

-Panel Discussion
A panel discussion on "Handing Down of Know-how from the Manufacturing Floor," a topic of wide and intense interest  was held in the latter part of the meeting, and this was chaired by Professor Akio Gofuku of Okayama University. Opinions from many different industry sectors were exchanged.

Thanks to our customers' support, we were able to have many presentations on actual product applications during the SBP Users Meeting. It seems that attendees expect more detailed, specific presentations on applications as well as on cases where the application ran into difficulties. Yokogawa plans to continue holding the SBP Users Meeting so that users can exchange information and learn from each other's experience.
