Overview:

Wireless temperature measurement solution makes modernizing operations and maintenance of delayed coker unit affordable.

Industries:
Overview:

Direct Reduction Iron (DRI) is one of the processes to reduce oxygen from iron oxide pellets for steel plant. More than 90% of DRI processes use heated LNG as process gas where PID control for temperature or interlock control is of vital importance.

Overview:

One important risk to manage with regard to coal stacks is preventing fires due to spontaneous combustion.

Industries:
Application Note
Overview:

A battery room is used to storage batteries for emergency power management in the plant. Each substation has battery room and the storage batteries are lead-acid batteries which must be maintained within specified operating temperature limits. Temperature management is important to ensure a long service life of the batteries especially for the plant in desert climates.

Application Note
Overview:

An induction furnace melts metal by creating very large currents in the material. These currents are induced using three electrodes positioned inside the furnace. The furnace is automated so that once the material has been melted, the electrodes are removed and the furnace then tips the molten metal into a crucible where it can be easily transferred to the production line where it will be cast into ingots. The atmosphere is extremely aggressive and the wired infrastructure is both expensive and very unreliable to maintain. The furnace control requires a total of 20 measurement points distributed around and inside the furnace. The harmonic field effects caused by short circuit 40,000 A (300V). The causes significant interference.

Yokogawa Technical Report
Overview:

Since 2010, Yokogawa has been providing wireless products conforming to the ISA100.11a wireless communication standard for industrial automation (IA). As a new addition to the lineup, Yokogawa has developed the YTMX580 multi-input temperature transmitter. Like the YTA510 temperature transmitter, YTMX580 is driven by batteries, but the number of its inputs has been increased from two to eight.

Overview:

Wiring temperature sensors installed in a chimney back to a control room can be challenging and expensive, so many plants and facilities are instead implementing wireless solutions, such as this Yokogawa YTMX580 8-input temperature transmitter.

Industries:
Overview:

A distinguished panel comprising of CEOs, CIOs, CTOs and analysts, including CIO Review editorial board, has selected Yokogawa as one of the top companies that are at the forefront of tackling challenges in the wireless markets in the U.S.
