Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that OpreX Intelligent Manufacturing Hub is now available globally, with the exception of Japan. This data integration solution is touted to drastically cut down on reporting time by using robotic process automation (RPA) deployed in a low-code / no-code environment or through modification by Yokogawa.

OpreX Intelligent Manufacturing Hub uses a single database to integrate and display data on dashboards that customers need to make the right decision at the right time.

It covers the entire spectrum of key performance indicators (KPIs), workflows, and reporting at every level of the organization, from the C-suite to the plant floor.

Development Background

Today, companies are searching for the best digital transformation (DX) solutions to help them operate more efficiently. The fact that the data they require is frequently dispersed among several systems and lacks an interface for automatically integrated access is one of their frequent problems.

This requirement can be satisfied by using business intelligence tools, but they must be tailored to each company’s particular infrastructure in order to minimize incidents, do away with manual processes, shorten report generation times, and guarantee a respectable return on investment. All of these tasks require a high level of domain knowledge and consulting experience.

With extensive domain experience, Yokogawa is a reliable supplier and integrator of industrial automation solutions and can offer manufacturing and process control advice to a wide range of sectors. The corporation can verify and offer customized solutions that make use of intelligent business tools based on its comprehension of the infrastructure and business operations of its customers.

Key Features

1. User-friendly dashboards that visualize data for decision makers at each layer of the organization

On feature-rich dashboards, data from many IT and operational technology (OT) sources is displayed after being safely combined into a single database. Offering comprehensive coverage of KPIs, processes, and reporting across all organizational levels, from the plant floor to the C-suite, this provides customers with all the information they require to make prompt and well-informed decisions.

2. Drastic reduction in reporting time

This solution drastically cuts down on the time needed to generate reports by doing away with the requirement for human operations and utilizing RPA technology instead.

Customers can use a low-code/no-code environment to write their own RPA software, or they can work with Yokogawa to provide a custom RPA solution.

Digging deeper into data to identify underlying issues and acquire new perspectives is another feature of the OpreX Intelligent Manufacturing Hub. It works well in many different industries, including chemicals, medicines, and oil and gas.

In addition to this solution, Yokogawa will offer comprehensive services and support via its international network that are necessary for any intelligent business tool project to succeed, such as technical support, training, maintenance, and specification definition.

Kunimasa Shigeno, a Yokogawa Electric Senior Vice President & Executive Officer and head of the company’s Digital Solutions Headquarters, said, “I am pleased to announce the official launch of this solution. Using a pre-release version of OpreX Intelligent Manufacturing Hub, our skilled digital transformation consultants and subject matter experts have already demonstrated their ability to identify and solve issues.

And by utilizing RPA, they can dramatically reduce reporting time. This is a proven solution that will enrich user experience and provide both value and a solid return on investment,” added Kunimasa Shigeno.
