During my interview with Yokogawa executives today, I learned that Isao Uchida, "Uchida-san," the personable and public face of the company is moving to the position of Representative Director and Chairman of the company as of April 1, 2007. Shuzo Kaihori will become Representative Director and President of the company at that time. Mr. Kaihori was in the United States as president of Yokogawa Corp. of America from 2000 through 2005. He presently is Director and Senior Vice President of Industrial Automation Business. He explained to me that his immediate role is that of executing the plan that the company has adopted to grow the company by 2010.

Invensys Process Systems and Invensys Wonderware, along with SAP are announcing right now the news at todays press conference. The three entities have joined to develop some "Packaged Composite Applications" based on xMII technology that SAP obtained with the Lighthammer acquisition. The two new applications are Real-time Finance and Real-time Production Execution. These applications have achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" status.
Real-time Finance is designed to help align process manufacturing operations with business objectives in a real-time mode, not the usual daily, monthly, annually generated reports. Real-time Production Execution enhances production agility by providing a pre-integrated solution for dispatching, executing, monitoring and evaluating manufacturing production and performance runs in equipped discrete, batch and hybrid plant operations.
The press conference is still going on. I'll add to this if more detail comes out.
