Running a plant on maximum and sustainable performance, with highest possible efficiency, is a challenge and in many cases of (un)planned shutdown or slowdown, the information that the plant performance is at risk was already available but unfortunately not used effectively and efficiently, in advance proactively before, or during an issue. Another issue is that only 18% of assets have an age-related failure pattern; 82% exhibit a random pattern, so traditional preventative maintenance provides a benefit for just 18% of assets. And traditional selected products features are not integrated and/or connected to people and process, and therefore inherently have low product-values.

To address these issues, meet the needs of industry by enabling the digital transformation of plant asset monitoring and condition based predictive maintenance in production and manufacturing, Yokogawa has developed the OpreX Managed Services, an integrated service of people, process and technologies, resulting in optimal value creation and plant profit, based on the Managed Service Suite platform.
