Honeywell Process
Solutions (HPS) has announced it has established a new business unit to help
manufacturers harness the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and more rapidly
deploy technologies that will allow them to better manage and analyze data,
making their operations safer, more reliable and more efficient.
“Since HPS’s
introduction of the modern automation control system, we have helped plants and
manufacturing sites around the world use an increasing amount of data to solve
customer’s productivity and safety challenges” said Vimal Kapur, HPS president.
“As manufacturers are looking to take the next step to manage and exploit data
across multiple sites in locations across the globe, our new business unit will
be a focused resource to provide that expertise.”
Andrew Hird has been
named vice president and general manager of Honeywell’s new Digital
Transformation unit and will report to Kapur. Hird most recently served as
HPS’s global vice president of sales, where he gained exposure to customers in
industries ranging from oil and gas and mining to power generation, and pulp
and paper. Hird has more than 20 years of industry experience, including 12
years with Honeywell.
“Honeywell’s deep
expertise in IIoT allows us to solve customer challenges by consolidating data
in the cloud from multiple disparate systems, applying higher-level analytics
and leveraging experts who are often physically remote from the customer site,”
Hird said. “Honeywell is in a unique position of being the recognized leader in
automation and control room solutions for a wide range of process industries,
plus we have advanced knowledge in connectivity with OPC UA, cyber security and
advanced software development.”
