Tokyo, Japan - February 20, 2023
Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6841) announces that it has entered into a partnership with Radial Software Group B.V. and will act as a global value-added reseller* for this company's Viewport software. With Viewport, Yokogawa will be able to enhance its customer's asset management capabilities by offering an innovative AI-powered solution that provides a single view of all published technical information, thereby reducing risk, contributing to operational excellence, and taking them one step closer to digital transformation. Through this partnership, Yokogawa will be able to manage implementation, integration, and support for instances of the Viewport software running on the Yokogawa Cloud platform for optimal scalability, installation flexibility, and integration with Yokogawa solutions and services.
To achieve operational excellence, most organizations in the process industry heavily rely on maintenance personnel to discover and map deficiencies and inconsistencies in their processes. However, the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of these efforts can be hindered if they are working with multiple asset documentation systems. Viewport is a technical search platform with a single interface that provides visibility to all office documents, CAD drawings, scans, images, and equipment data, regardless of whether they are hosted on a legacy system or come from some other source. The platform is supported by connectors and APIs, accelerating efficiency, productivity, and safety in industrial environments by providing instant access to correct and up-to-date asset information.
Viewport operates on top of existing systems, creating links between documents and the maintenance management system. Viewport's AI-powered algorithms allow systems and documents to be indexed in such a way that a powerful yet simple search experience is created across different assets, bringing everything together in one place. The system also allows the use of synonym tables for easy searching, the creation of document folders for work preparation or work orders, and the linking of real-time supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data or data historian data to piping and instrumentation diagrams.
Viewport can connect to various Yokogawa and third-party platforms

Chemical plants rely on continuous and batch production processes, each posing different requirements for a control system. A continuous process calls for a robust and stable control system that will not fail and cause the shutdown of a production line, whereas the emphasis with a batch process is on having a control system that allows great flexibility in making adjustments to formulas, procedures, and the like. Both kinds of systems need to be managed in available quality history of product, and to be able to execute non-routine operations.
