Yokogawa not only designs an optimal Lifecycle Plan for the customer’s control systems but also monitors, implements and redesign through lifecycle.

Effective alarm management provides a clear view of the operating conditions, eliminating the blind spots that can lead to unnecessary plant downtime. Long experience has shown that alarm design based on the EEMUA#-191 guidelines is the most fundamental way to prevent alarm flooding situations. Yokogawa helps clients implement an EEMUA 191 based alarm system.

It is important to conduct benchmarking. Yokogawa Comparative Effectiveness Analysis service gathers operational data for automatic calculation of KPIs, which is then used by Yokogawa to provide periodical benchmarking reports.

Control room design needs to take into consideration all aspects of the work environment including operator comfort, ergonomics, safety, ease of communication, functionality, automation of systems, and business policy. Yokogawa helps clients physically consolidate and functionally integrate their control rooms.

Industry leaders have recognized that there is a need for a standard around automating procedures and have formed the ISA-106 committee whose purpose is to develop standards, recommended practices, and technical reports on the design and implementation of procedures for automating continuous process operations. Yokogawa has been involved in this standardization effort and has developed a solution offering that address the issues covered in the emerging standard—Modular Procedural Automation.

PID control plays a fundamental role in process control. Proper setup and tuning are required for stable plant operation and are a prerequisite for advanced process control. Yokogawa provides a standardized approach to the implementation of regulatory control stabilization with fixed procedures and methods that ensure optimum and safe plant controls.
