"Co-innovating Tomorrow"
Japanese industrial automation leader founded 1915; provides DCS, control systems, and OpreX robot management software for plant operations.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation is a Japanese multinational industrial automation and measurement company founded on September 1, 1915, by Tamisuke Yokogawa, Ichiro Yokogawa, and Shin Aoki. Headquartered at 9-32 Nakacho 2-chome, Musashino-shi, Tokyo 180-8750, Japan, the company has grown into a global provider of industrial automation, control, and measurement solutions with operations in over 60 countries.
Yokogawa's core automation business centers on its CENTUM VP Distributed Control System (DCS), introduced in 1975 and continuously updated—supporting up to 1 million device tags and protocols including FOUNDATION fieldbus, HART, PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus/TCP, and ISA100 Wireless. The CENTUM VP platform underpins process control across oil & gas, chemicals, power, and pharmaceuticals.
In the robotics and intelligent operations domain, Yokogawa launched OpreX Robot Management Core (RMC) on March 22, 2024, under its OpreX Asset Management and Integrity product family. RMC is a software platform—deployable on-premises or in the cloud—that enables integrated management of heterogeneous robots from a single web dashboard. It supports Boston Dynamics' Spot quadruped robot and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' EX ROVR explosion-proof plant inspection robot, aggregating data from these systems and linking it to control/safety infrastructure via the Collaborative Information Server (CI Server).
In June 2025, Yokogawa formalized a long-term agreement with Shell to co-develop robotics and AI technologies for plant monitoring and maintenance, adding the Operator Round by Exception (ORE) advanced machine vision tool into OpreX RMC. In October 2024, Yokogawa signed a sales partnership with Sensyn Robotics to incorporate Sensyn Core drone management, enabling combined robot-and-drone autonomous facility inspection workflows.
Yokogawa also released OpreX Intelligent Manufacturing Hub in September 2024, a data-integration solution using robotic process automation (RPA) in a low-code/no-code environment to reduce reporting time in manufacturing operations. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISASecure certifications and employs approximately 18,000 people globally.
