- New cloud native software solutions and enhancements
designed to help organizations deliver digital transformation and
performance goals through intelligent operations
- Honeywell Forge Performance+ | Production
Intelligence offers benefits such as 30% improved worker
productivity and 3% improved plant throughput
ATLANTA, May 25, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) today introduced new
products and enhanced applications for its Honeywell Forge
Performance+ software suite aimed at increasing
productivity and driving key digitalization outcomes. These new
features and enhancements come at a time when industrial data is
doubling roughly every two years, and organizations are challenged
with how best to turn data into insights and profitable
outcomes.
"It's critical that companies learn how to harness this data at
an enterprise level to drive intelligent, sustainable, safe and
secure operations. Without it, they will continually be playing
catch-up in operational efficiency and productivity," said
Kevin Dehoff, president and chief
executive officer, Honeywell Connected Enterprise. "Honeywell
Forge, which is purpose-built SaaS for vertical markets, is
designed to deliver better insights to help address these problems
and improve performance."
For Honeywell's industrial and supply chain customers, new and
enhanced applications to the Honeywell Forge
Performance+ suite are now available or will be
available soon. These include:
- Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Industrials |
Production Intelligence, an advanced analytics and insights
solution for industrial end-users, offers key customer benefits,
including up to 30% improved worker productivity and up to 3%
improved plant throughput. These benefits underscore the fact that
business is now entering a new industrial revolution powered by
digital innovation. Through outcome-based insights and
persona-driven dashboards, Honeywell's new digital insights
solution empowers industrial users by allowing them to spend less
time sorting through operational data and more time optimizing
performance.
- Within supply chain, Honeywell is introducing several
enhancements to Honeywell Forge Performance+ for
Distribution Centers to better enable intelligent operations.
Enhanced analytics capabilities include new visualizations of
operational KPIs and the introduction of trends for operational
KPIs, to help users to see changes over time so they can make
productivity adjustments. A new mobile incident response feature
allows workers to manage incidents on the go from a mobile
device.
"Honeywell Forge has helped with recognizing where there are
opportunities to either improve productivity and efficiency or
prevent any sort of breakdowns with some of our machinery," said
Shawn Keena, director of operations
at Gordon Food Service, the largest family-owned food service
business in North America.
"Honeywell Forge has empowered us to ensure that our systems are
running properly. That type of consistency has been very important,
and our customers feel that."1
According to the Abnormal Situation Management (ASM) Consortium
and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST),
U.S. process plants may lose more than $20
billion a year from process deviations, 50% which are
directly attributable to human errors.2 To further
help industrial personnel expand their skills and capabilities,
Honeywell Connected Workforce Competency – a new
cloud-deployed operations training tool – provides easy access to
comprehensive experiential training content, anywhere and anytime,
with the addition of new enterprise-wide competency KPI aggregation
and reporting. Organizations can now train their personnel to help
them prevent abnormal events and human errors, creating the
opportunity to decrease training time and to enhance employee
effectiveness.
"More than ever, the industrial workplace and employees require
new technology and training to meet challenges with process
modeling and technical knowledge gaps," Dehoff said. "Our solutions
not only help upskill and support the training of industrial
workers, but also provide enhanced analytical features to enable
organizations to achieve their best performance."
With new and enhanced ready-now solutions across industrials,
life sciences, and supply chain, Honeywell continues to drive
digitalization and sustainability outcomes for its customers. These
solutions provide integrated perspectives, guided diagnoses and
actionable insights to help optimize performance, improve
productivity and reduce operational risks.
