Yokogawa Digital Corporation, a subsidiary of Yokogawa Electric Corporation, announces that it has signed investment and business collaboration agreements with LTS Corporation (LTS), a Tokyo-based provider of consulting, business process management, and digital utilization services.
Yokogawa Digital was established in July of this year with the mission of globally optimizing manufacturing enterprises through digital transformation (DX)*. The company will leverage Yokogawa's superior operational technology (OT) and OT/IT integration knowhow to deliver management consulting services together with cloud-based system implementation, operation, and maintenance. The company will start operating on October 1 and will initially provide its services to customers in Japan together with Yokogawa Solution Service Corporation.
LTS (lt-s.jp) was established in 2002 and was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2017. With its growing force of frontline consultants and IT engineers, the company not only advises on the planning and design of strategies, structures, and systems, but also builds and implements the environments needed to ensure a cycle of continuous improvement and transformation.
Through this tie-up, Yokogawa Digital will leverage LTS's extensive IT expertise and human resources to accelerate its rollout of DX consulting services to manufacturing industries in Japan and overseas. Also, the company will utilize the IT human resource matching platform operated by the LTS Group to not only secure people with relevant skills for projects, but also to hire and develop professionals with expertise in management/operations consulting and digital technology in collaboration with LTS. By increasing personnel that are familiar with both OT and IT, and thus enhancing its capability to provide a continuous range of services covering strategic planning and operational transformation through to IT/OT implementation, Yokogawa Digital aims to deliver even greater value to customers.
