Helping customers keep pace with advances in digital technology and an ever-changing business environment, Yokogawa provides the support needed for them to carry out their digital transformation (DX) and make the transition from industrial automation to industrial autonomy (IA2IA).
To provide optimized solutions to our customers, Yokogawa is carrying out business in three industry segments: Energy & Sustainability, Materials, and Life.

The life business segment provides solutions that support people's lives and protect health and safety. In addition to our activities in the pharmaceuticals and healthcare fields, we are engaged in businesses that ensure everyone has access to safe water and food. To improve productivity throughout the pharmaceutical and food value chains, we utilize the sensing and control technologies that Yokogawa has developed over the years to support innovations in product and production processes. In the water field, we aim to create new value by using the measurement technologies that have been acquired through our activities in such fields as genome analysis and scientific instrumentation.
In addition to the industrial automation and control business, Yokogawa is developing the following two independent businesses.
