Yokogawa has received a Technology Award from the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE) for its achievements in the development of industrial wireless technology.
Reason for winning
As interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, industrial wireless networks are being introduced for industrial automation applications where there is a need to improve the monitoring of production facilities. Yokogawa has greatly expanded the possibilities for wireless instrumentation by releasing its first full duplex wireless system based on the ISA100 Wireless international standard (IEC 62734). With its ability to update data every second, capability to collectively manage up to 500 devices, and dual redundant communication paths and system devices that prevent the loss of data, this wireless system achieves the high reliability required in process automation. Yokogawa won this Technical Award for a paper that was presented on this subject at the SICE Annual Conference 2015 held in Hangzhou, China.
