As our business<\/a> in Norway is continuously growing including the recent acquisition of Yokogawa TechInvent<\/a>, Yokogawa Norge AS was established as a true Norwegian entity in April 2019. Ged Kelly<\/a>, former Sales Director UK, leads an ambitious team in Stavanger.<\/p>\n

I am very happy to welcome today Ged Kelly and Kjetil Knutsen<\/a>, Sales Manager Norway, to speak about their plans, status quo, and vision for Yokogawa Norge AS.<\/p>\n

O&G Blog: Ged, you are responsible as a Country Manager for Yokogawa Norge. Which products or solutions does Yokogawa Norge offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"yokogawa<\/a><\/p>\n

Ged Kelly<\/strong>: The Stavanger office provides a local base for sales and engineering services for the Norwegian market across industrial automation and safety instrumented systems. Support and Engineering Services include the newly developed WiNoS wireless noise sensing solution with responsibility for the life-cycle management of WiNoS, including engineering, deployment assistance, support, and maintenance, in addition to upgrades and improvements.<\/em><\/p>\n

O&G Blog: So WiNoS is the Norwegian development product? How does it work and where can you deploy it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kjetil Knutsen:<\/strong> WiNoS<\/a> is a wireless noise surveillance system that monitors and maps plant noise levels in real time.<\/em><\/p>\n

This online plant noise surveillance system employs wireless technology and explosion-proof sensors, an industry first. Even in plants where noise levels change drastically over time, noise mapping can be applied to plan work schedules that will ensure workers do not exceed specified limits for the number of work hours in a noisy environment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here in Norway, you could use it for offshore oil & gas, but also for wider industrial applications.\u00a0 For this device, we co-innovated with Equinor, one of the biggest global energy companies. WiNoS was successfully tested on one of Equinor\u2019s offshore platforms. We make use of Equinor\u2019s IPR in WiNoS.<\/em><\/p>\n
