Malaysia is on thecusp of two major revolutions -- the transformation into a manufacturing hub andthe digital transformation, driven by the government's vision to digitize theeconomy, citizens, and infrastructure. Honeywell Connected Plant technologies supportthese evolutions by addressing challenges that threaten to throttle industrialoperations such as unplanned downtimes and a widening skills gap.

 

"Malaysiahas been actively pursuing an Industry 4.0 agenda, particularly in the manufacturing and oil and gas sectors,which have invested heavily in solutions that enhance productivity," said Nigel Brockett, vice president of HoneywellProcess Solutions Asia Pacific. "The Honeywell technologies and solutions shownat the Malaysia Technology Summit will help them transform their operations andrealize several benefits of digital transformation leading to increased plantperformance."

 

Honeywell Connected Plantapplications deliver higher levels of safety, reliability, efficiency andprofitability. By combining deep domain expertise along with data analytics Honeywellenables its customers to get unprecedented insights into their operations. Theseamless integration of process, assets and people across the enterprise can makeevery day the best day of a manufacturer's production and every member of theorganization operate as a leading expert.

 

At the summit's technologycenter, attendees could view and experience the newest automation products andcapabilities, including some of the Honeywell Connected Plant solutions that have beenlaunched in 2018:

 

  • Thermal IQ -- Enables maintenanceengineers and plant managers to more effectively monitor and manage theirthermal process equipment, minimizing unplanned downtime and maximizing uptime.
  • UniformanceCloud Historian -- This software-as-a-service cloud hosting solution forenterprise-wide data capture, visualization and analysis helps customersimprove asset availability, optimize processes and increase plant uptime.
  • AssetPerformance Management -- Integrates asset and process data for actionable insights to improveasset performance and plant profitability.
  • ImmersiveCompetency --This cloud-based simulation offering uses a combination of augmented reality(AR) and virtual reality (VR) to train plant personnel on critical industrialwork activities, empowering them to directly improve plant performance, uptime,reliability and safety.
  • Personal GasSafety --This solution integrates with Honeywell's leading plant control system toprotect workers and speed emergency response in case of hazardous leaks orworker injury.
  • IntelligentWearables --This hands-free, wearable technology allows industrial workers to more safely,reliably and efficiently accomplish their tasks in the plant or the field. Ituses a head-mounted visual display that responds to voice and brings live data,documents, work procedures, as well as health and safety information into viewand can connect field workers with remote experts in real time.
  • Experion®Batch -Combines Experion distributed control, batch automation, and new visualizationtechnology for improved efficiency, quality and throughput.
  • Measurement IQfor Gas -Provides measurement under control by transforming metering operations with24/7 real-time condition-based monitoring.

 

In addition to the emphasis ondigital technologies to improve productivity and manufacturing uptime, keepingthe high-tech infrastructure secure is a key priority for Malaysianmanufacturers.

 

 "Cybercrime has steadily grown in the regionand Malaysia's drive toward Industry 4.0 makes it a target," said Briand Greer,president of Honeywell ASEAN. "The summit today highlights the Honeywell IndustrialCyber Security Solutions that are an essential component of a robust IIoTecosystem. I'm glad to see Malaysia addressing these risks right where itmatters with the people, process, and technology. As much as it is important todigitize, it is equally important for the nation to minimize vulnerability to cyber-attacks,improve recovery and ensure its leading industries don't lose view andcontrol."
