I-Yokogawa Electric igidinga iminyaka ema-50 yehlelo lokulawula elisakazweko le-CENTUM: ipumelelo ekulu

Mhlana amalanga ama-20 kuMgwengweni wee-2025, i-Yokogawa Electric Corporation ifinyelele igadango elikhulu: i-5-0 ekulu yomkhiqizo wayo omkhulu, i-CENTUM! Ungakholwa bona sele kudlule iminyaka ema-50 solo ihlelo lokulawula elitjhugulula umdlalo (i-DCS) lathoma ukusebenza ngoMgwengweni we-1975? Solo kwalokho, bekuyinto etjhugulula umdlalo kwamambala endleleni yokwenza izinto ngokuzenzakalelako nokulawula kusebenza njani emabubulweni amanengi kangaka.

Lokha i-CENTUM nayiphumako, bekungowokuthoma ephasini—khuluma ngokuphula imingcele! Ithekhnoloji ehlakaniphileko le yenze izinto zitjhuguluke khulu, yanikela amabubulo indlela yokulawula iinkambo zezitjalo ebezingakghonakali ngaphambilini. Yini eyenza i-CENTUM ikhetheke kangaka kusukela ekuthomeni? Yebo, yethula ama-microprocessors nama-non-analog CRT interfaces, ebegade asesigabeni esiphezulu ngesikhatheso begodu wavula indlela yokuthuthukisa okuragela phambili eenhlelweni zokulawula.

Kulo loke ikhambo layo elimangalisako, i-CENTUM idlule ematjhugulukweni amanengi, ihlala iphezulu njengomdosiphambili eenhlelweni zokulawula amabubulo. Njenganje isizukulwane sayo se-10, ukuthuthukiswa kwe-CENTUM kutjengisa ukuzimisela okungapheliko kokwenza ngcono. Inguqulo ngayinye etja iletha ukuthuthukiswa kokusebenza nokuthembeka, begodu uyakholwa namkha awa, ihlelo sele lincani begodu lincani. Kodwana unga'ungatshwenyeki, lokhu akusikho'icala elithi 'okuncani kubuthakathaka'—nangabe kukhona, i-CENTUM's ikwazile ukwandisa amakghono wayo, iphatha koke okuhlobene nokukhiqiza begodu ilethe ilwazi eliqakathekileko ndawonye. Sekuyithulusi ekufuze libe nalo eendaweni ezihlukahlukeneko zebubulo.

Ini'okuhle nge-CENTUM yindlela eyakhiwe ngayo—iyalinganiseka begodu iyasebenzisana, okutjho bona ingasekela kuhle iintjalo ezikulu neziyinkimbinkimbi. Kungakhathaliseki bona isikali kangangani, i-CENTUM ikuvikele ngokulawula okuhlangeneko nokuthembekileko. Phezu kwalokho, umklamo wayo ongatlhogekiko uveza bona uthembeke kangangani. Ngesici lesi, irherho lineenkhetho zokusekela ezakhelwe ngaphakathi ukugcina yoke into isebenza kuhle, ngitjho nanyana ingcenye ithatha ukutjhinga. Khuluma ngendlela yokuphila yokulawulwa kweentjalo!

Ukuhlala phambili namhlanjesi'isikhathi sedijithali akusiyo into elula, kodwana i-CENTUM yenze umsebenzi omuhle khulu ngokuhlanganisa iinsetjenziswa zakamuva namadivayisi ehlelweni layo lokutjheja. Lokhu kugcina i-CENTUM idosa phambili kwethekhnoloji yokulawula amabubulo, ifaka amathulusi wedijithali wesimanjemanje athuthukisa kwamambala iimfanelo zayo zokugada nokuphatha. Ngokuziphendukela kwemvelo okuragela phambili okunje,'ingasi ukukhambisana namatjhuguluko kwaphela kodwana ukubeka amazinga amatjha wokuthintana kwehlelo nokusebenza kuhle ekuzenzekelayo kwenqubo.

I-Yokogawa itjengise ukuzinikela kwayo ekugcineni i-CENTUM ifanelekile begodu isezingeni eliphezulu phakathi kwethekhnoloji ehlala itjhuguluka. Ikhamphani'ukutjheja irhubhululo, ukusungula, kanye nekhwalithi kusize i-CENTUM bona ihlale iyindlela ethembekileko eendaweni ezinengi. Ukuzibophelela lokhu kuyingcenye ye-Yokogawa'umnqopho omkhulu wokunikela ngeensombululo ezikhulako ukuhlangabezana neendingo ezitjhugulukako zephasi lamabubulo.

Njeke, ngokugidinga iminyaka ema-50, i-Yokogawa ayikho't nje ukuqala emuva epilweni ende ye-CENTUM kodwana nokutjheja bona ithekhnoloji le yenze umthelela omkhulu kangangani. I-CENTUM inikele amabubulo amandla wokukhuphula ukusebenza kuhle kwawo, ukuthembeka, nokukhiqiza eminyakeni edlulileko—ubufakazi bokuthi ukutjhuguluka kwethekhnoloji kungatjhugulula imisebenzi begodu kuragele phambili nentuthuko.

Ngokufingqa, i-Yokogawa Electric Corporation'I-CENTUM DCS sibonelo esihle khulu seminyaka ema-50 yokusungula nokusebenza kuhle. Ngokuthuthukiswa ngalinye, kuqinise indima yayo njengomdlali oqakathekileko ephasini lokuzenzakalela nokulawula kwezebubulo. Njengoba u-Yokogawa agidinga igadango eliqakathekileko, baqala phambili eentuthukweni zesikhathi esizako ezizokubumba isahluko esikhulu esilandelako sokulawulwa kweenkambo zezebubulo.

Yeyi, sele unanzelele bona izinto zitjhuguluka kangangani emabubulweni ahlukahlukeneko muva nje? Konke lokhu kungenxa yokwanda kokuqaphela ngebhoduluko lethu, begodu ngokuthembeka, zizinto ezithabisako! Amakhamphani ephasini loke enza amatjhuguluko amakhulu ukwenza umphakathi osimemeko. Emqoka walokhu kutjhuguluka kuneentuthuko ezihle khulu zethekhnoloji yokulawula, ezenza koke kungaphephi kwaphela kodwana kusebenze kuhle begodu kube yidijithali. U-Kunimasa Shigeno, uMongameli no-CEO we-Yokogawa, unetjisakalo yamambala ngokuthi amathekhnoloji la aqakatheke kangangani emabubulweni wangomuso. Waze wakhuluma ngento ethakazelisako: 'I-CENTUM itjhuguluka idlule i-DCS yendabuko ibe sisombululo esihlukahlukeneko esihlangabezana neendingo ezinengi zamabhizinisi. Soke sikhona lokha nakuziwa ekuqinisekiseni ukuphepha nokuthembeka ngesikhathi sithola iindlela ezitjha zokuletha inani lamambala nokusekela ingomuso lebubulo kiwo woke amagadango wendlela.'

Nje-ke, asicoce nge-CENTUM—yindlela yokwenza izinto ngokuzenzakalelako nokulawula ebegade isetjenziswa emafemini ephasini loke unomphela. Abantu bayayithemba kwamambala ngombana ithembekile, izinzile, begodu ihlangana kuhle nezinye iinhlelo. Ngitjho nanamhlanjesi, mdlali oqakathekileko ekukhuphuleni umkhiqizo emikhakheni ehlukahlukeneko. Njengombana amabubulo aqalana netjhijilo lokusimama, ukutjhuguluka kwe-CENTUM kuveza umukghwa obanzi wokusebenzisa ithekhnoloji ethuthukileko esekela izinto ezifana nokusebenza ngokuzijamela nokuthuthukiswa okusimemeko.

I-Yokogawa imayelana nokusimama nokusungula njalo, uyazi? Bazibophelele ekugcineni ilifa labo leenhlelo zokulawula ezithembekileko lokha nabagandelela ingomuso elingcono kiwo woke amabubulo. Ngokwamukela izinto ezitjha zedijithali ezenza imisebenzi ibe lula begodu zinciphise ukugandeleleka kwekhabhoni, bazilungiselela ukudosa phambili ekusizeni amabubulo bona abe lula. Ukuzibophelela kwabo kuyakhanya kwamambala, ingasi ngethekhnoloji abayithuthukisako kwaphela kodwana nangokuzinikela kwabo okungaguqukiko ekunikeleni ngeensombululo ezinikela amabhizinisi amandla wokulwisana neentjhijilo zebhoduluko zanamhlanjesi.

Nawuqala phambili, u-Yokogawa wenza amagadango ahlakaniphileko akhambisana ngokupheleleko nemigomo yokusimama kwephasi loke. Bafaka imali ebuchwephesheni bokulawula obusezingeni eliphezulu kanye nezisombululo zokuzenzakalela ukusiza ukwakha umphakathi osimemeko. Ukutjhuguluka lokhu kwenzelwe ukuhlathulula kabutjha ingasi ukukhiqiza nokuphepha emabubulweni kwaphela kodwana nokudlala indima eqakathekileko emzamweni wephasi loke wokutlhogomela ibhoduluko kanye nentuthuko esimemeko. Ngokuhlanganisa isiko nokusungula, u-Yokogawa uzibophelele kwamambala ekwakheni ingomuso lapho amabubulo angathuthuka khona ngesikhathi atlhogomela iplanethi yethu.
