HOUSTON, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE:
HON) and Wolters Kluwer today
announced a collaboration to integrate Honeywell's Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT) connected devices and safety software
with the risk and environmental, health and safety (EHS)
software from Enablon, a Wolters
Kluwer business. The collaboration is designed to
enable enterprises in asset-intensive industries to improve their
risk, safety and operational excellence programs.
The collaboration enables customers to monitor their EHS
performance, receive early warnings about issues from their
Honeywell equipment and take proactive steps to help prevent
incidents and improve safety compliance.
"With companies concerned about making a safe return to their
facilities, we are offering a solution that aims to provide peace
of mind to management in terms of both safety and compliance to
keep up with ever-changing health and environmental regulations,"
said John Rudolph, president,
Honeywell Process Solutions. "Our new reality requires innovative
solutions that enable both business continuity and help protect the
health of their employees."
Given the heightened uncertainty of today's business
environment, companies have an urgent need for a more holistic,
integrated, enterprise platform to operationalize real-time data
collected from human and machine input. By leveraging this data,
companies can use actionable intelligence through the integration
of technologies to mitigate safety risk and remain compliant with
regulations.
Scenario – How it could work in today's environment:
- Before visiting the facility, Honeywell's Digitized Workforce
Management software provides an electronic questionnaire which,
when complete, provides an access code and time of arrival to
reduce the need for transfer of paper documents and improve social
distancing.
- At the entryway, the connected safety software solutions allow
Honeywell's artificial intelligence-driven elevated body
temperature monitoring solutions to conduct non-invasive,
preliminary screenings of personnel entering a facility.
- The system also detects if individuals are wearing the required
personal protective equipment needed for entering the building and
if they are doing so properly, in compliance with safety
regulations.
- These data points and other manual data points are then
reported to the Enablon EHS software.
- Through a dashboard view, management can monitor workers to
ensure that they remain compliant with rapidly changing health and
safety regulations. The EHS solution also allows frontline
operations employees to carry out measurements, checks and
recordings directly in the field, without the need to walk back and
forth to a control room.
By combining Honeywell's connected safety portfolio and with
Enablon's software suite, customers can eliminate errors in
recorded data and improve hands-on-tool time for operators.
"Our goal is to help predict and prevent accidents and
out-of-compliance events before they happen," said Chirag Shah, senior director, Product Management
at Wolters Kluwer's Enablon business. "To do this, companies need
to act on data that comes directly from equipment and assets as
well as data from workers and contractors in the field. Combining
real-time human and machine data in an integrated solution will
enable our joint customers to achieve the benefits of a digitized
operation. By joining forces with Honeywell, we are helping our
customers leverage the benefits of a true Industry 4.0
solution."
Besides monitoring the health and safety of employees, the
solution can also deliver environmental benefits. Today, industries
must comply with environmental permits containing hundreds of
specific requirements. The technology can monitor, control and
report back on the health of these controls. Honeywell's stationary
and mobile solutions can be configured directly from the local
environmental and regulatory permit conditions within local
jurisdictions, providing early warning alerts to prevent
non-compliance.
