Honeywell announced the Honeywell Connect Second Half 2022 release of new offerings and enhancements to Honeywell Forge, its enterprise performance management software solution, designed to assist customers in accelerating the digital transformation of their operations. Among the offerings, the new Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Industrials | Asset Performance, helps customers enhance operational productivity and lower costs by improving asset and process performance.
Launch of Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Industrials | Asset Performance
“We are proud to launch our cloud-native Asset Performance solution that will bring scalable and more secure advanced asset health monitoring, predictive analytics and process optimization to help organizations operate more efficiently,” said Kevin Dehoff, president and CEO of Honeywell Connected Enterprise. “We are also introducing several enhancements to our current software offerings across the industrials and smart buildings sectors that help enterprises run key processes more productively while also giving them greater visibility into how they can lower their operational costs.”
As part of the new Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Industrials suite, Asset Performance helps deliver asset reliability and energy efficiency through real-time monitoring of assets using predictive models embedded with deep-domain expertise. Asset Performance can help to both detect potential asset health issues and predict possible time to failure in order to proactively improve plant availability.
Enhancements to existing Honeywell Software Solutions
Honeywell is also launching enhancements to other software across the industrials and smart buildings sectors.
Industrials:
- Honeywell Plantwide Optimizer – End-to-end solution that integrates planning, operations and blending in near real-time, features new modelling enhancements designed to enable organizations to achieve better process control and higher yields with less waste.
- Honeywell Operations Management – Enhancements to the user experience designed to help industrial operations managers to better proactively monitor, document and operate their industrial processes to reduce downtime, increase throughput and yields, and standardize shift reporting.
- Honeywell Workforce Competency – Enhancements to the simulation-based experiential learning solution to develop and enhance the competency of today’s industrial workforce include persona-based dashboards and a new soft Safety Manager direct link.
Smart Buildings:
- Honeywell Forge Performance+ For Buildings | Energy Optimization provides a cloud-based, real-time automated system optimization software that continuously optimizes the operation of HVAC systems for facilities with artificial intelligence (AI) and manual learning (ML). It is designed to help reduce energy spend with limited to no impact on the comfort level of the building occupants. The solution provides energy, carbon and sustainability benefits to help improve visibility to meet sustainability goals.
- Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Buildings | Site Performance brings together new capabilities for building managers, including a new mobile application that further extends a building operator’s capability to monitor, configure and control building assets while on the go. It provides easy-to-access performance indicators so users can understand the status of facilities, view occupant comfort levels, identify poor-performing assets, and uncover critical issues within buildings. The new centralized control add-on for Site Performance allows building operators to remotely visualize, investigate and resolve issues from a central location. It offers a portfolio-wide operational overview with advanced analytics, issue identification, root-cause analysis, remote resolution, traceability and knowledge management. Additionally, the solution also offers enhancements such as plug and play wireless sensors that provide predictive maintenance visibility using AI and ML techniques to help determine the failure mode, presenting prescriptive details such as the remainder of useful life of the building assets.
- Sine Lobbies – A new multi-tenant solution empowering each tenant to customize and manage the visitor check-in and approval process for their co-located site and teams in line with their unique requirements through a single kiosk for the whole building. Sine Lobbies simplifies the visitor journey and enables building operators to create a class-leading visitor experience.
