Sushi Sensor for Achieving Industrial IoT Solutions

摘要

In plants, there is an increasing need for collecting more data to improve the efficiency of equipment maintenance and production. Since wireless sensors can be installed where wired ones would be cost-prohibitive, their demand is growing. In addition to ISA100 Wireless solutions, which are optimal for operations and safety, Yokogawa Electric Corporation has worked on applying wireless technologies to equipment maintenance. Backed by the rapidly increasing demand in recent years for introducing IoT to plant equipment, we conducted user interviews and proof-of-concept (PoC), identified specific requirements, and developed the Sushi Sensor. This paper introduces its concept and functions, and the technologies used to achieve the concept and functions.
