Plant Information Management System

Information Management and Control Solutions

It is a well known fact that plant data is the basis for all solutions in the process industry. As such, data must be easily captured and accessible to ensure long-term improvement opportunities. Based on open standards, Yokogawa's data historian and PIMS (plant information management) solution captures data easily to provide a valuable bedrock. Our solution is especially unique in that implementation costs are significantly reduced when compared to the alternatives.

Customer Challenge

Securely Stored and Available Information

Plant information must be available in order to drive improvements. In order to access the vast amounts of process information from a plant, and use the information effectively, users require a system that presents the collected information in a timely way that is both concise and easy to understand.

Fitting seamlessly into the existing infrastructure, an advanced plant management system or PIMS system allows managers, engineers, operators, etc. to obtain appropriate information suitable for their job role.
