Case Study: Yokogawa Electric Corporation achieves real-time, end-to-end DevOps visibility with Splunk Enterprise

Yokogawa Achieves Real-Time Visibility Into DevOps-Driven Application Delivery

Yokogawa Electric Corporation, a global leader in distributed control systems for industries such as oil & gas, power and chemicals, adopted a DevOps approach to accelerate application delivery but ran into limits with legacy monitoring: highly distributed applications produced large, varied log volumes, developers spent hours exporting logs to Excel, and the company lacked real‑time, end‑to‑end DevOps visibility and sharable insights.

By deploying Splunk Enterprise into its Chef- and Jenkins-driven toolchain and centralizing logs on an AWS VM, Yokogawa automated data collection, analysis and reporting, gaining real‑time operational intelligence across the development lifecycle. The result was faster detection and resolution of issues, significant time savings, improved quality through dynamic, data‑driven insights, better cross‑team collaboration, and plans to extend Splunk usage with dashboards and machine learning.
