Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6841) and Waylay NV (“Waylay”) announce that Yokogawa has invested in Waylay, a leading Belgium-based enterprise information technology and operational technology (IT-OT) digital unification software company. Yokogawa and Waylay have been successfully collaborating on digital transformation (DX) solutions and services. The equity investment will help accelerate the growth of Yokogawa’s cloud portfolio of applications and services while helping Waylay expand its market reach.

The strengthened partnership will allow Waylay to generate more real-world use cases for its technologies and serve a wider array of industries to continuously enhance its digital offerings. The customers of both companies can now also experience a broader array of enhanced and differentiated DX services combining OT and IT capabilities.
