GEC NEWS WIREHoneywell Process Solutions (HPS) has established a new business unit to help Middle Eastern manufacturers harness the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and more rapidly deploy technologies that will allow them to better manage and analyze data, making their operations safer, more reliable and more efficient.
“Since HPS’s introduction of the modern automation control system, we have helped plants and manufacturing sites in the Middle East and around the world use an increasing amount of data to solve customer’s productivity and safety challenges” said Vimal Kapur, HPS president.
Andrew Hird has been named Vice President and GM of Honeywell’s new Digital Transformation unit. “Honeywell’s deep expertise in IIoT allows us to solve customer challenges by consolidating data in the cloud from multiple disparate systems, applying higher-level analytics and leveraging experts who are often physically remote from the customer site,” said Andrew Hird, Vice President and GM of Honeywell’s new Digital Transformation unit.
Among Honeywell’s leading technologies that help operators prioritize and manage a growing amount of operational data are DynAMo alarm and operations management; Industrial Cyber Security Risk Manager, which proactively monitors and manages cyber risk for industrial environments; Assurance 360, a multi-year cooperative service arrangement to maintain, support and optimize the performance of Honeywell control systems; and most recently, Honeywell Pulse, a mobility app that allows plant managers to easily monitor real-time operations from a smartphone.
