Easy-to-Use AI-enabled Recorders and PLCs

摘要

Yokogawa has a solid track record in AI analysis based on its experience and knowledge of industrial automation (IA). To meet customers' needs for introducing easy-to-use AI functionality to manufacturing sites and product development, we have incorporated AI functionality based on our advanced AI technology into recorders and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The AI future pen function, which predicts and draws data in the future, is implemented in the GX/GP series as standard. The AI anomaly detection function, which automatically detects unusual equipment behavior that could indicate trouble and enables users to perform predictive maintenance, is built into the GA10 software as standard for use with Sushi Sensor. Furthermore, we have developed the e-RT3 Plus industrial AI platform, which enables users to efficiently develop AI applications by using various Python-based software libraries. This paper explains these products and their development strategies and describes how AI applications are used on site and what values they deliver.
