The Knowledge
to Make it Possible

Industry worldwide faces economically challenging times, and

todays market pressures require operations to constantly balance
safety, productivity and profitability. Significant advances in automation
technology can help plants optimize production and gain the
efficiencies necessary for success in the new economy.

Integrating People and

Process for Better Performance
In the 1970s, Honeywell pioneered the Distributed Control System (DCS),
which revolutionized plant-wide operations, performance and asset utilization
in large process industry operations. Honeywell once again redefined industrial
automation with Experion PKS (Process Knowledge System), the first
enterprise-wide solution designed to unify people with process, business
requirements and asset management.
Experion PKS is designed to merge traditionally

disparate functions and systems across the manufacturing

enterprise, and captures the knowledge of plant personnel
and their workflows to deliver sustainable efficiencies.
This union streamlines information flow to the right place,
at the right timeto the right people. ASM guidelines
embedded in Experion result in better overall collaboration
and performance of plant personnel, thus improving
safety, efficiency and agility. A common and consistent
HMI over the entire integrated offering provides the
essential foundation for improving operator effectiveness.

Technology Innovation to
Improve Business Results
Honeywell has a long history of technology leadership in industrial
automation, and today, Experion PKS is at the forefront of new innovations.
We provide the industrys most complete portfolio of turnkey virtualization
solutions for improved performance and reliability in the industrial domain.
Our complete solution drives down total cost of ownership through reduced
computer hardware requirements, extended design freeze dates, a virtual
Factory Acceptance Test to validate configurations remotely, fewer disruptive
operating system and hardware changes, reduced hardware refreshes,
online hardware upgrades and replacements, and ensured availability
and reliability of critical assets.
Honeywell is the first to use Universal Channel Technology
to completely liberate safety and process I/O, as well as the
control cabinets from channel type dependency. This concept
offers flexibility in I/O type, eliminating the need for custom
hardware alignment with different I/O configurations.
Universal Cabinets, enabled by Universal Channel
Technology allow the cabinets to be standardized, since
any field signal can be connected to any I/O channel.
Our approach reduces or eliminates marshalling, but
most importantly, allows immediate, remote configuration
without the need for additional hardware. This simplifies
engineering and configuration during the design stage of a
project, and can save up to 33% of the installation costs.
Late configuration changes can be done through remote
access (rather than having someone manipulating
hardware in the field), so they can be handled in minutes
rather than days. This can save weeks of delay during
potential late stage design changes. It also supports
on-process migration to enable easy access to valuable
new capabilities without unnecessary downtime and lost
production. Plus, Honeywells fully redundant Universal I/O
protects vital systems from even a single channel loss,
giving you real peace of mind.
