Digital Transformation

For pharmaceutical companies like Vetter, freezers are extremely important equipment for storing for storing products to be shipped. Yokogawa provided an AI-driven system to detect freezer defects at an early stage.

As water and wastewater systems expand, scalable centralized monitoring enables efficient management of distributed assets and meets evolving user demands.

Plants increasingly are turning to machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize precise patterns in sensor data. The technologies ease differentiating between normal and abnormal equipment behavior and also detecting specific patterns that lead up to failures — and, so, enhance capabilities for predictive maintenance.

Read this report to learn how more insightful data and better analyses can boost uptime.

Industrial process automation has evolved significantly over the years, playing a pivotal role in improving operational efficiency, safety, cost reductions, and ensuring product quality. Traditional automation systems, however, often relied on proprietary, closed architectures, leading to vendor lock-in, interoperability challenges, and limited adaptability to changing business needs often required for enterprises to expand or progress. Industrial process automation has evolved significantly over the years, playing a pivotal role in improving operational efficiency, safety, cost reductions, and ensuring product quality.

In this Whitepaper by Mark Hammer you will learn about:

• The movement away from proprietary, closed architectures
• How OPA avoids vendor lock-in and interoperability challenges
• Changing business needs requiring flexible systems to progress

In a landscape defined by relentless technological progress and sweeping global change, the manufacturing sector stands at a crossroads, compelled to either adapt to digitalization or risk falling behind. Enter the Smart Industry Readiness Index (S.I.R.I.) assessment, a guiding resource for organizations navigating their digital transformation. Highlighting the urgent necessity of digital evolution, this index illuminates the myriad challenges confronting businesses today and sets the stage for exploration into how S.I.R.I. can drive them toward digital maturity.

The plant still has legacy OT systems that pose significant challenges in a modern ammonia manufacturing environment due to their limited functionality, which can prevent the adoption of advanced technologies and tools needed to keep up with current production demands. These systems often require costly and hard-to-find maintenance and support as they age, and they lack robust cybersecurity measures, making them vulnerable to cyber threats.

On-site digital champions can drive your operation towards data integration and a more aligned way of working.

Unlocking the Keys to a Sustainable Pharma Supply Chain

A Perspective on New Technology Impacts on the Chemical Processing Industry by Sergio Fernandes, Chemical Market Leader, Yokogawa Corporation of America

With work injuries on the increase, migrating to digital platforms to address worker safety has become a priority. Digital transformation simplifies the integration of new digital applications such as alarm lifecycle management, functional safety lifecycle management, shift team effectiveness, and permit-to-work.

Remember, the goal is to transform your business. Data and digital technology are but means to that end.

A new digital risk management methodology combines four digital technologies to form the foundation of a sustainable safety regimen.
