100
Years of History and a Vision for the Future
Since
1906, Yamatake has prided itself on meeting the demands of the present day
while also keeping an eye on the challenges of the next generation. Over time,
the changes in the industry have been immense. Automation in the early 20th
Century looked quite different than it does today. But the common denominator
throughout has been people. To refl ect this, Yamatake formed its azbil Group
and adopted a new philosophy that recognizes the critical issues of today and
the aspirations for the company’s future while maintaining the central
importance of people to the corporation’s success. With these priorities in
place, Yamatake has moved forward to serve a wide range of industries. It
provides instrumentation, engineering, operations and maintenance solutions to
support oil, chemical, iron, steel, pulp and paper as well as automotive,
electrical/electronic, semiconductor and food and beverage customers. To
succeed, Yamatake collaborates with select outside companies, including a
partnership with Wonderware that has been in place since 1995.
A
Versatile Platform for Growth
When
considering options, Yamatake could have developed a proprietary software
system, but instead looked to the benefi ts of an off-the-shelf solution. With
Wonderware software, Yamatake could take advantage of powerful, proven
standards that actually free engineers to work.
more
effi ciently. Because of the software’s builtin compatibility and connectivity
as well as its intuitive graphical user interface, the engineers were able to
produce designs quickly. Rather than focusing on learning the software, they
were able to concentrate on their core competencies and on creating effective
solutions for Yamatake’s customers. Yamatake’s Harmonas-DEO product line name
means “Harmonized Automation System – Dependable/Open.” It’s a distributed
control system (DCS) built on the Wonderware software platform. Wonderware
InTouch HMI enables Harmonas-DEO to integrate PLC and SCADA capabilities into
the DCS for continuous batch and discrete process control. Most importantly,
Harmonas-DEO is web-based and aligns with Yamatake’s “human-centered”
philosophy. Its “Operation Anywhere” approach employs open standards like
Windows® , Ethernet and others that remove the restrictions of place and time.
With Wonderware software, Harmonas-DEO enables the control room of the present
and the future.
