Yokogawa takes over Industrial Evolution
With the acquisition of Industrial Evolution, Yokogawa aims to be able to offer more advanced IoT-based solutions for the process industry in the future. Industrial Evolution specializes in cloud-based data sharing services for industrial plants.
The cloud data service provider Industrial Evolution from Phoenix (USA) uses its DaaS (Data-as-a-Service) technology to collect process data from devices and systems in various industrial plants in real time. The data is delivered either directly or in customized form to companies that operate such systems, as well as to their customers and suppliers. The service can also be used to collect data from firewall-protected systems and share it easily and securely with authorized users via websites or mobile devices.
With this acquisition, Yokogawa is expanding its Industrial Automation business in line with its medium-term business plan "Transformation 2017". The purchase of Industrial Evolution was made via the Yokogawa Venture Group. A purchase price has not yet been disclosed.
