fieldmate - versatile device management wizard
DESCRIPTION
As plants often have sensors from multiple vendors that rely on more than one communications standard, versatile software tools are required for device configuration, adjustment, and management. FieldMate, a PC-based software package that supports all major industry-standard communications protocols (such as HART, FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, PROFIBUS® and BRAIN), is ideal for such requirements.TRANSCRIPT

NOTICE
FieldMate is a core building block of Yokogawa's VigilantPlant solutions that promise to bring operational excellence to visionary plants, creating an environment where plant personnel can See Clearly, Know in Advance, and Act with Agility.
SEECLEARLY KNOW
IN ADVANCE
ACTWITH AGILITY
Faster plant start-up. Improved maintenance work flow. Reduced maintenance expenditure. Reduced production loss from unplanned downtime.
Industry leaders striving for operational excellence are pursuing maximum asset utilization. Unfortunately, practical tools to face that challenge were in short supply, before FieldMate. Introducing FieldMate, the integrated tool that opens a clear and practical path to asset excellence. FieldMate enables you to see intelligent field devices clearly, know their condition in advance, and act with agility throughout maintenance work flow.
The clear path to asset excellence
Versatile Device Management Wizard
One Tool over Device LifecycleWhile doing maintenance work on your field devices, FieldMate automatically stores the maintenance work log. FieldMate supports maintenance work from initial configuration through start-up and operation, while reducing the unwanted paper trail.
One Tool for AllOne integrated tool handles parameter setting for intelligent field devices, regardless of who supplies the devices and what particular field communication protocols are used. FieldMate enables quicker device configuration and problem solving, reducing complex and time-consuming work steps.

Previously, a dedicated configuration tool was used for each a distinct field communication protocol.
Now with FieldMate, it is possible to single-handedly manage field devices from multiple suppliers for many different protocols.
Many clicks x multiple configuration tools
= complex field maintenance work
Many clicks x multiple configuration tools
= complex field maintenance work
Fewer clicks x one configuration tool
