Human-centered design
Human-centered design prioritizes safety, health, and comfort. Yokogawas concept of control room design has evolved over a long period of time and allows us to provide superior customer benefits. While a control room needs to be highly functional to ensure operational visibility, plant management, and maintenance, the design must be balanced to meet comfort requirements, allowing each person to work with maximum efficiency. This is the key to successful control room design. Yokogawa designs are based on a thorough understanding of control systems, plant operations, and ergonomics.

Quick visualization
Once customers have completed our questionnaire and provided information on their site plan, existing control room drawings, control room photos, and system configuration, our service quickly visualizes their future control room. Yokogawa experts present with their proposal a draft design of the control room that incorporates both conceptual planning and layout planning. If you are considering a project involving a grass-roots plant, control room consolidation, or control system migration - then now is the right time to visualize your future control room.

* Actual results will depend on the installation.
