Honeywell introduces first vendor-neutral process control software suite

霍尼韋爾推出首個供應商中立過程控制軟件套件

September 7, 2011– Honeywell today unveiled the process industry's first vendor-neutral process control suite, which allows plant operators to centrally monitor and control both Honeywell and non-Honeywell process control systems within their plants. The process control suite lets operators and management break out of the information silos that can often occur with advanced process control (APC) systems.

9月7日消息——霍尼韋爾今天推出過程工業首個供應商中立的過程控制套件，使得工廠操作人員可以在其工廠集中地監測和控制霍尼韋爾或非霍尼韋爾的過程控制系統。該過程控制套件讓操作者和管理層可以打破在先進過程控制（APC）系統中經常產生的信息孤島。

Suitable for all industrial applications, the Honeywell Process Solutions' (HPS) suite revolutionizes performance monitoring with its ability to span not only multiple APC technologies, but also multiple processing facilities, giving consistent performance benchmarking across the enterprise and ensuring proper corrective action is taken when and where necessary. HPS studies have shown the solution can increase service factor and application utilization by 25% while reducing troubleshooting time by up to 50%, allowing proactive maintenance practices to improve utilization and increase application service factors.

該霍尼韋爾過程解決方案套件適用于所有工業應用，其跨越多APC技術、多過程設備的能力帶來了革命性的性能監測，給整個企業提供一致的性能基準標桿，并在必要時確保采取適當的糾正行動。霍尼韋爾過程解決方案的研究表明了該解決方案可以提高25%的服務因素和應用利用率，同時減少高達50%的故障排除時間，使得主動維護做法可以提高利用率，增加應用服務因素。

The suite includes three software products: Honeywell Loop Scout, which gives control engineers the ability to identify and correct poorly performing control loops; Honeywell Profit Expert, delivering multivariable controller monitoring for Honeywell's Profit Controller; and Control Performance Monitor, an application that monitors, identifies, diagnoses and remedies regulatory and APC asset issues throughout the plant.

該套件包括三個軟件產品：給控制工程師識別和校正較差執行控制回路的霍尼韋爾Loop Scout；為霍尼韋爾的Profit Controller提供多變量控制器監測的霍尼韋爾Profit Expert；全工廠范圍內監測、識別、診斷和補救監管以及APC資產問題的Control Performance Monitor。

"This new software suite is a first in the process control industry, which means that our customers will have unprecedented flexibility in the management of their assets and the most holistic view yet of their plant operations," said Donald Morrison, senior product marketing manager, Honeywell Process Solutions. "The recent addition of Matrikon to the Honeywell portfolio brings together the vendor independence of Matrikon's monitoring technology with Honeywell's expertise in the deployment of Profit Suite applications."

霍尼韋爾過程解決方案高級產品營銷經理Donald Morrison表示：“這個新軟件套件在過程控制行業是第一個，這意味著我們的客戶將在其資產管理方面具有前所未有的靈活性，而且對他們的工廠運營有最全面的了解。Matrikon最近納入霍尼韋爾的產品組合，在部署Profit Suite應用上匯集了Matrikon監測技術的供應商獨立性以及霍尼韋爾的專長。”
