Panelists advocated for proactive hiring practices, mentorship programs and the development of communication skills through role-playing, especially for young engineers navigating male-dominated environments
The “Women in Engineering” panel at Yokogawa’s YNOW2024 event shared key insights into overcoming workplace challenges and the evolution of gender diversity in engineering roles within the process industries, Control reported.
Panelists discussed how their early experiences with automation and sustainability initiatives laid a foundation for career growth, especially as new energy sectors, like hydrogen and ammonia production, emerge to combat climate change. This discussion is relevant to controls engineers focused on factory and plant automation, as it underscores the critical role of diverse perspectives in adopting innovative technologies like Open Process Automation (OPA).
Kelly Li’s focus on OPA’s open control architecture highlights a shift towards collaborative, adaptive automation strategies that can streamline processes and potentially reduce costs, aligning with industry goals for more inclusive and adaptable systems.
