Case Study: Yokogawa reduces unplanned failures and maintenance costs with Cognite Data Fusion

How Cognite Data Fusion™ Reduces Unplanned Failures and Maintenance Costs for Manufacturers

Yokogawa, a Japanese industrial automation company serving process industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, power, and pulp and paper, needed a better way to manage maintenance across complex, siloed systems. Instead of relying only on scheduled inspections and reactive fixes, workers were spending significant time checking equipment that was often already in good condition. Yokogawa used Cognite Data Fusion™ from Cognite to help address this challenge.

Cognite and Yokogawa implemented contextualized industrial data applications that give workers live cloud access to equipment condition, alarms, asset metadata, time-series data, events, and documents. The solution includes an alarm overview and an energy center process diagram with interactive asset exploration and charts showing relationships such as flow rate, temperature, and vibration. The result was optimized maintenance routines, instant access to actionable data, and maintenance based on actual equipment condition rather than a fixed schedule, helping reduce unnecessary inspections and maintenance costs.
