Summit highlights Honeywell Connected Plant's impact on productivity and efficiency
Automation professionals from across Thailand's process industries gathered at Honeywell's (NYSE: HON) Thailand Technology Summit 2018 to learn about how Connected Plant technologies such as advanced data analytics and cloud technology can drive Thailand's Industry 4.0 transformation. The day-long event focused on solutions to key industry challenges such as unplanned downtime and the skills gap.
The summit also addressed how Honeywell Industrial Cyber Security solutions are an essential component of a robust Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) ecosystem. As Thailand moves toward Thailand 4.0, protecting people, infrastructure and assets must be an overriding priority. Thailand is addressing these challenges with the right people, processes, and technologies to minimize vulnerability to cyberattacks, improve incident response and disaster recovery, and ensure leading industries don't lose visibility into and control over their manufacturing processes.
"With the government actively promoting its Thailand 4.0 agenda, which is focused on transforming the country into a value-based and innovation-driven digital economy, Thailand is undergoing a transformative shift," said Mai Trang Thanh, president of Honeywell Indochina. "Honeywell is supporting Thailand's transformation and future growth through technological advances for a wide variety of industries, improving industrial operations and developing a new generation of skilled workers."
"Our Connected Plant applications deliver higher levels of safety, reliability, effiiciency and profitability," said Anand Vishnubhotla, general manager, Honeywell Connected Plant, APAC. "By combining deep domain expertise along with data analytics, we enable our customers to get unprecedented insights into their operations. Our solutions seamlessly integrate process, assets and people across the enterprise to make every day the best day of production and every member of the organization operate as a leading expert."
The Thailand Technology Summit allowed attendees to view and experience the newest automation products and capabilities, including some of the Honeywell Connected Plant solutions that have been launched in 2018:
- Thermal IQ – Enables maintenance engineers and plant managers to more effectively monitor and manage their thermal process equipment, minimizing unplanned downtime and maximizing uptime.
- Uniformance Cloud Historian – This software-as-a-service cloud hosting solution for enterprise-wide data capture, visualization and analysis helps customers improve asset availability, optimize processes and increase plant uptime.
- Asset Performance Management – Integrates asset and process data for actionable insights to improve asset performance and plant profitability.
- Immersive Competency – This cloud-based simulation offering uses a combination of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to train plant personnel on critical industrial work activities, empowering them to directly improve plant performance, uptime, reliability and safety.
- Personal Gas Safety – This solution integrates with Honeywell's leading plant control system to protect workers and speed emergency response in case of hazardous leaks or worker injury.
