Yokogawa Electric Corporation has acquired Intellisync, a provider of cybersecurity and digital transformation solutions, and WiSNAM, a developer of advanced grid control and energy management solutions. Both companies are to be integrated into BaxEnergy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Yokogawa that provides renewable energy management solutions. This enables Yokogawa to expand its cybersecurity capabilities and develop grid control products, and grow its presence in the renewable energy sector through the creation of a digital hub
Intellisync has expertise in cybersecurity as a service, defending customer assets against external threats and internal intrusions, and operates a 24/7 network and security operations centre. The company also offers security testing, vulnerability assessment, and consulting services covering digital transformation, data analytics, and AI. This acquisition will advance Yokogawa's ability to deliver robust cybersecurity solutions by ensuring cybersecurity compliance across information technology and operational technology.
WiSNAM specialise in hardware and software for controlling renewable and distributed energy resources. One of the company's flagship offerings, the Power Plant Controller, can maximise performance and yield in photovoltaic and hybrid plants by enabling quick, precise data collection. It supports international grid codes and offers high scalability across medium- to large-scale installations, ensuring steady, grid-compliant power for medium- and high-voltage systems.
Simone Massaro, CEO of BaxEnergy, said, “With these acquisitions, Yokogawa will accelerate the development of a new generation of software offerings that extend beyond renewable energy, delivering secure, high-performance solutions for decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries.”
Koji Nakaoka, Yokogawa Electric executive vice president, executive officer, decarbonisation, the company's Energy & Sustainability Business Headquarters, said, “By combining Intellisync’s 24/7 security operation and WiSNAM’s grid-compliant Power Plant Controller, Yokogawa can offer end-to-end solutions that bridge IT and OT. The acquisition also strengthens Yokogawa’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) and recurring revenue portfolio and accelerates the company’s shift toward digital transformation and autonomous operations.”
