Carbon Neutral
Efficient Carbon-Neutral Measures Based on CO2 Emissions Visualization
Among the various carbon neutral measures, optimizing the manufacturing process has many benefits, including not only reducing CO2 emissions but also reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.
Yokogawa provides comprehensive support, from the formulation of decarbonization strategies to consulting on energy reduction after system introduction.Utilizing measurement and control technologies, we visualize factory CO2 emissions based on actual measured values rather than theoretical values. We identify energy losses in the manufacturing process, and develop and implement optimal reduction plans.
Cyber Security
Appropriate Security Measures Based on Risk Assessment
Digital transformation improves factory productivity, but it also increases cybersecurity risks. Yokogawa reveals potential security risks in factories through risk assessment. We design and implement security measures based on IEC62443*. We also propose the optimal security measures by considering the balance between security level and cost.
*IEC62443: International industrial security standards. Jointly developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Society of Automation (ISA)
