The world trend of drive systems for paper plant

Yaskawa Siemens Automation & Drives Corporation (hereafter referred as YSAD) was founded in the year 1999 as a joint venture between Yaskawa Electric Corporation Japan (hereafter referred as YEC) and Siemens AG Germany (hereafter referred as Siemens), thus combining Japanese and German know-how systems and solutions engineering. We offer industrial electrical systems in many industry segments except steel and public work projects, and electric and electronics products and after-sales service with YEC products and SAG drives. In the paper and pulp industry, our products and systems had been applied for many years before YSAD was established and since the establishment we can offer them Siemens products as well as YEC ones to meet the users' need. And our know-how of equipment accumulated through the strong relationship with the paper manufacturing companies and the machine makers in Japan and the overseas drive system technology are combined, which enables us to offer the optimum system with the latest technology. This time the world top class project was completed in cooperation with Siemens IIS (Industry Industry Solutions) that is the system engineering section of Siemens. We introduce the idea and the core technology in the paper manufacture machine control of Siemens in a part of SIPAPER CIS. DRIVE YSAD will play a leading role to develop a new Japanese style and contribute to improve the electricity and the instrumentation technology of the paper pulp industry in Japan in the future, by absorbing the Siemens philosophy to integrate with the technology that we have cultivated in the Japanese market.
