ATLANTA, June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE:
HON) today announced Honeywell Forge for Airlines, an advanced
analytics-based platform for airlines that helps increase profit
while improving efficiency and the overall passenger
experience.
Honeywell Forge for Airlines collects, cleans and analyzes
streams of disparate data from a wide variety of airplane, airport,
government and Honeywell sources, and offers actionable insights
and alerts that can help improve an airline's understanding of its
fleet, profitability and passenger experience. Honeywell Forge for
Airlines is a single, integrated software solution combining a
broad range of individual aircraft and overall airline data into
one easy-to-use and individually customizable dashboard.
"Airlines want an easy solution to analyze and manage their
costs in one place, and Honeywell is providing it through unlocking
their data to create what is essentially their own profit
calculator," said John Peterson,
vice president and general manager, Software and Services at
Honeywell Connected Enterprise, Aerospace. "This tool will forecast
how much money airlines can save based on the data-driven decisions
they make by using it. It's a modular, adaptable and
easy-to-personalize service that meets a specific or critical
airline need. It puts them in control."
Honeywell Forge for Airlines includes solutions for flight
operations, flight efficiency and connected maintenance in a single
user interface. By providing alerts and identifying savings
opportunities, the solution can help airlines maximize their
profits while improving workflows between pilots, ground
maintenance and operations to increase productivity. In addition,
the suite of solutions can be scaled, allowing airlines of all
sizes to tailor it to address their specific operational pain
points, such as flight delays due to unexpected aircraft
maintenance.
Applications included in Honeywell Forge for Airlines have
already been implemented globally across a diverse range of
airlines and aircraft, providing an immediate impact. Fuel savings
of up to $140,000 per aircraft, per
year, as well as maintenance savings of up to $40,000 per aircraft, per year may be realized
with the use of Honeywell Forge for Airlines.
"Honeywell is pushing the envelope by offering airlines an
analytics platform that can intake and process critical data at the
edge of an aircraft network and inform the airline to act on that
time-sensitive information," said Ben
Driggs, president, Honeywell Connected Enterprise,
Aerospace. "Many airlines attempt to analyze disparate data sources
to try to create value, but what we aim to do is to put the right
data in front of decision-makers so that the savings present
themselves clearly. Airlines don't have to go hunting for
efficiencies."
How Honeywell Forge for Airlines makes a difference in
efficient flight routes and passenger experience
As the next evolution of what was formally known as Honeywell's
GoDirect™ Connected Maintenance and GoDirect Flight Efficiency
solutions, Honeywell Forge for Airlines will focus on
state-of-the-art enhanced offerings and a better user experience.
Software enhancements will help enable airlines to decrease fuel
and operational costs while improving the passenger experience with
more productive routes that result in fewer delays. Honeywell Forge
for Airlines offers the following advantages:
- It can provide the most productive flight plan based on a
variety of real-time conditions.
- It can forecast and provide insights and actions to help
improve fuel-efficient flight, lowering costs.
- It can provide predictive maintenance alerts to help avoid
aircraft downtime and delays and cancelled flights.
- It can assist in reducing block time (departure to arrival
flying times), in a manner that reduces turbulence and flying in
poor weather, thus benefitting passengers.
- Integrated as a platform, the architecture is designed to allow
airlines ongoing customization, from the interface to APIs,
airline-specific algorithms, access governance and more.
Honeywell Forge for Airlines is part of the larger Honeywell
Forge family of software solutions serving the building,
industrial, worker and cybersecurity segments.
