ATLANTA, Sept. 28, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) unveiled today a
new mobility application that enables deskless workers in the
manufacturing, real estate, aviation and industrial process
industries such as mining, refining, chemicals and oil and gas to
receive remote assistance in the field. Honeywell Forge Worker
Assist is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) based application that
accelerates the resolution of issues, increases efficiency with
tasks such as inspections and quality audits, and aims to empower
employees to further develop job competencies.
Honeywell Forge Worker Assist provides a collaborative
environment for deskless workers to interact with remote peers and
experts as they perform activities in the field. The cloud-based
software allows for video and audio peer-to-peer and multiparty
communication enhanced with media, file sharing, screen sharing,
remote camera control and text messaging.
Braskem Idesa, a Brazilian and Mexican manufacturer of
thermoplastic resins and petrochemicals, implemented Honeywell
Forge Worker Assist at its Petrochemical Complex, the largest in
Latin America for the production
of ethylene, high- and low-density polyethylene in Veracruz, Mexico. Honeywell Forge Worker
Assist bridges the communication gap between Braskem Idesa's
operational and field teams, allowing them to interact and share
information. It also enables frontline workers to receive
assistance from remote colleagues to learn on the go as they
perform their daily tasks.
"Braskem Idesa is committed to investing in the best workforce
productivity tools in the petrochemical industry," said Roberto
Velasco Gutiérrez, industrial director, Braskem Idesa. "By
collaborating with Honeywell in the field testing of connected
worker technologies, we provide our workforce with access to the
latest developments for them to remain productive and safe as they
perform their daily tasks."
The hardware agnostic application can work on most Android or
iOS devices – including tablets, smartphones, intelligent
wearables, laptops or ruggedized mobile computers – allowing
companies to deploy with existing technology infrastructure and
scale quickly to accommodate new users.
"Using Honeywell Forge Worker Assist as a communications channel
between field personnel and control rooms enables collaboration
between deskless workers and remote experts to improve overall
productivity," said Anand
Vishnubhotla, chief product officer, Honeywell Connected
Industrial. "It integrates field workers into a company's digital
transformation by providing an environment to develop and sustain
their skills."
Honeywell Forge Worker Assist is part of Honeywell Forge, the
company's enterprise performance management software. Honeywell
Forge is purpose-built on a native edge-to-cloud with data-driven
architecture meant to accelerate digital transformation in a wide
array of industries.
