YESCO in Korea introduces Schneider Electric Monitoring & Control software solution

SEOUL, KOREA - YESCO Co., Ltd., a Korea-based natural gas supplier, has implemented a Schneider Electric Monitoring and Control software solution, part of Schneider Electric’s Industrial Software Platform. Benefits include improved operational efficiency, and greater access and visibility to operational data to help drive higher customer satisfaction.

Safety and accident concerns are top issues for gas and other organizations. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) combined with modern Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems offer the potential to gain greater access and insights from a broader array of assets and devices for improved data-driven decision support. This Industrial IoT application lets Oil and Gas companies be more proactive with maintenance and safety management programs to drive operational excellence.

YESCO implemented Schneider Electric’s System Platform as a SCADA solution to gain better access to data that was often not readily available to improve performance. After a five-month deployment and nine months of utilization, the following benefits have been achieved:

• Increased customer satisfaction – through a streamlined and more holistic systems management solution, asset management and equipment trends can be more proactively managed, helping to reduce unplanned downtime and service disruptions
• Heightened level of safety management – through better visibility and understanding of when maintenance activities should be scheduled and performed
• Reduced personnel time – through predictive maintenance and data analysis, now performed with greater efficiency, it has been possible to free resources to perform other, value-added tasks

“As a gas supplier, our top priority is to best serve customers by safely delivering uninterrupted gas in the most efficient and optimized manner,” said Oh KWON, Team Leader of Safety Management at YESCO. “After a careful examination of all options, it soon became evident Schneider Electric offered the best solution to meet our needs, including the delivery of rich data analysis and insights while letting us improve safety and maintenance management, resulting in greater operational effectiveness.”

“Schneider Electric’s industry-leading Monitoring and Control software portfolio delivers exceptional value to Oil and Gas and other companies by easing data acquisition while delivering better granularity to boost decision support with insights that can now be accessed from across their organization,” said Norm Thorlakson, Vice President, HMI & Supervisory Software, Industry Business, Schneider Electric.

“By delivering a highly intuitive, configurable solution that takes into account local factors, YESCO has an ability to better spot trends based on real-time intelligence, so can proactively schedule production in a way modern industrial organizations now require,” said Geun Bea KNOW, Channel Sales Lead at Schneider Electric.
