Yokogawa Foundation Fieldbus showcase a success

On February 8, 2009, Yokogawa Canada became the first Industrial Automation vendor chosen by the Foundation Fieldbus End User Council to host a Foundation Fieldbus demonstration.

Held at the Calgary facility, Yokogawa’s demo featured FFB H1 drops with EJA™, EJX™, PRM® and CENTUM VP® and “was as an excellent means for Yokogawa to showcase its system features to a focused group of potential end users,” said Scott Cadger, Regional Systems Sales Manager. “It was also a great place for potential end users to learn the features of each system that best meet their requirements.

“With the assistance of Amit Ajmeri, Steve Lazok and other support personnel, the meeting was a huge success. More customers than we expected -- approximately 40 -- from companies such as Suncor, Fluor, Shell, Jacobs, Neen, Conoco Phillips, DPH Focus, and many others, attended. Based on the positive responses from all attendees, Yokogawa is now making plans to deliver the same presentation in Edmonton and again in Calgary during the next few months.”
