Overview:

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.

Overview:

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

Industries:
Overview:

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.

Industries:
Overview:

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
