Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6841) announces that three employees and an employee of the subsidiary Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte. Ltd. have received awards from the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE)*1. These awards, which are described below, are for a scientific paper and the development of a technology. The awards were presented on October 30.
Outstanding Paper Award
The Outstanding Paper Award is given to authors of papers on significant new theories or technologies that have been published in the Keisoku Jidou Seigyo Gakkai Ronbun-shu (collection of papers of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers - available only in Japanese) or the SICE Journal of Control, Measurement, and System Integration (available only in English) during the two previous calendar years.
- Winners

- Jason Sin Wai Chan (Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte. Ltd.)
- Paper
FDT2 Based Flow Configuration Software on IIoT Environment
https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jcmsi/12/4/_contents/-char/en - Reason for winning the award
FDT/DTM is a standard for the exchange of data between control systems and field devices. Refinements to this standard now enable its use in IIoT applications. This paper presents the first-ever model for the creation of flowmeter software that complies with this standard. It also evaluates a number of hypothesized cases that illustrate the benefits of an IIoT environment constructed with this software.
